BYU Dinosaur Museum

Found out there was a dinosaur museum at BYU just across the street from the football stadium.  We went with Ginger and her kids and a few of the Lyman cousins.  These are a few of the pictures.

Logan Temple

We went up to Logan to see our dear friends, the Humprey's, who moved up there from Camarillo earlier in the year.  I unfortunately didn't get a picture with them.  It was a quick trip there.  We did stop by to see the temple.  It was a beautiful day!

The Heber Creeper

Grandma Gibbs gifted us with a trip on the Heber Creeper.  It's an old train route that goes through the Prove Canyon.  When I say old, I mean it!  We had a great time watching the scenery and enjoyed the fun show they put on with a bandit that jumped on the train.  The best part of it was spending time with Ginger and her kids.  We hardly see them since they live in Boston.  I wish we could get together every summer!  Oh, yes, we also had fun with Mom and Maryanne!

Clarissa and Carly

Clarissa and Carly were passing off time at Jake's baseball game doing their nails.  Clarissa loves being around other "older" girls because she gets to really enjoy being her social self and doing all the girly things.  She loves to dress up in her princess dresses, cheerleading outfits, or one of my personal favorites is what she calls her "excerise" clothes.  She will often imitate me by making heavy breathing sounds while doing stretches.  It is totally funny!

Spanish Fork Rodeo 2011

Another exciting summer in Utah at the Spanish Fork Rodeo!  The kids love it because they can dress up like cowboys or a cowgirl (Clarissa.)   Who new how much fun it would be wearing boots and a hat.  We have a blast going with the Lyman cousins'.  We have started to make it a tradition to go in July around  Pioneer day for the rodeo, parades, and of course, all the family!

Clarissa at Giles Ranch

Our little girl always seems to have something to smile about.  One of her very favorite words is "happy." She says happy whenever the lights are on or the water is the perfect temp.  Here she is at our friends ranch with her friend Erica making one of her crazy smiles!

Ryan's 7th

Pledge of Alligence

Garrett up to bat.

Ryan at the mound ready for a hit.

Ryan had the ultimate birthday party. Thanks to our friends, the Odles, we took some of Ryan's closest friends to NBL player, Jack Wilson's house for a party. The boys and Dad enjoyed playing tennis, jumping on the tramp, and an informal game of baseball. It was a lot of fun!
