 SUMMER-PART 1

We have had so much fun this summer! The bestest thing about being married to a teacher (besides the teacher himself) is the family time. We are so spoiled to get to play all summer long. I can hardly believe it is ending... sad.

Our first adventure was an overnight trip up to the Uintahs. It was beautiful and COLD!!! We froze all night and then got up for some fishing. Jacob has his own fishing pole now, and he was in HEAVEN! So cute!


 This shot is my favorite! Sadly, no fish were caught on this trip, but I'm not sure Jacob cared. He has a good imagination and I'm sure he believed we caught tons of fish and threw them back. :)


Kate started solids this summer and LOVES them! Here she is bathed in carrots...

 And, here she is in the bathtub-so pretty! :)
 And this is me loving my baby girl. :)

I threw a baby shower and the canteloupe baby was a hit.


While I was at the shower, Brian and Jacob went fishing at a local pond. Look at the yummy catfish they caught...to be continued...

Jake's new camp chair. :)

This little man takes after daddy, in almost every respect. He has to do whatever daddy is doing in the yard or garden. It's pretty darn cute!
 

Back to the catfish from above...I had to leave for a meeting one day, so Brian and Jake cooked their catfish for lunch. (I am aware of the knife in the photo-apparently dad was supervising...)


Apparently it was pretty good! :)

This is quite possibly my favorite time of night-stories in the tent before bedtime.



One day, Jacob came to me dressed like this...He said he was Nephi. Enough said... :)

Brian had a BIRTHDAY!!!!! Happy 32! As with tradition, we made him carrot cake. Mmm.

He got a wheelbarrow. I stuffed it with balloons that were stuffed with hersey's kissses. Each balloon had a wish written on it. Sadly, the balloons were left in the wheelbarrow outside on a hot day, so the kisses were mostly mushy by the time we got to them. It was still fun, though. :)




We went to St. George for the 24th of July and swam in Grandma Terri's "ghetto pool." We don't think it's ghetto. We think it's awesome, but grandpa thinks it's awful...Sorry, grandpa.

We went the the famous Washington City parade. Jacob's favorite part was the fire truck!

More swimming....Isn't she lovely?
 We went to the firework show with Jamie, Lexie and Baby Oaks. Here is Baby Oaks with Jake. So sweet.


After the fireworks, Jake got a real big-boy haircut from talented Aunt Lexie. So handsome!

The newest addition to the Crosby family is Radar, the bunny. I'm in love with him. You have never met a sweeter bunny in your life. I guarantee it. He's the best!


This is Jacob writing his "camping song"... He would play and write and play and write and sing and write and it was absolutely adorable!
 And here is baby sister, taking it all in. We love this happy girl.

To be continued...not sure when, but sometime hopefully soon. :)
