Camping Trip by Liberty, UT-so gorgeous!
It was a little cloudy that weekend. We made it just in time to roast our hot dogs, find a football (Jacob's new best friend). gobble up dinner, and jump into our tent....where we spent the rest of the night...
These two had a great time. It took us forever to get them to sleep, but eventually it happened. :)
Daddy and his little helper...
There was a trail not far from our campground that led to a waterfall. The hike was beautiful, lots of green. We couldn't wait to see the waterfall at the end... :)
And, here it is! A slightly anti-climatic finish to our uphill climb, but it was still a pretty view, though it was lacking in water.
This picture is included simply for the "aw..." factor. She melts my heart, and that's nothing to the way she melts her daddy's heart. He'd do absolutely anything for her.
Katelyn is a little comedian. We call this face "the cheeser." She scrunches up her nose so hard when she smiles and does the cutest little snorting sound. It cracks us all up, and she loves it!
We had a play date a few weeks ago, and I just had to share this picture. SO CUTE! :)
Here she is attempting crawling. This was a few weeks ago. SHe is now a master and can get around anywhere she wants (almost-she's really wanting to do stairs, but hasn't figured that out yet. Thank goodness!)
Another picture simply for the sake of cuteness. Oh, how I love this boy!
Jake LOVED, LOVED, LOVED swimming this summer. I was sad the day I put the pool away.
Jacob loves to help our awesome neighbor, "Grandpa Porter" in his yard as well. We have the bestest neighbors in the world. We are so grateful for the Porter family. They make it a little easier to be away from our St. George families.
Jacob got a mustache in the machine at the grocery store one day. Looks like a little "Grandpa Brian," huh? haha!
My mom came up and we went to the Box Elder County Fair with my amazing Aunt Pammy! Aunt Pammy is a blast! We love her so much!
Jake had the time of his life.
And, Kate was as beautiful and happy as always. :)
Cute aunt Pammy lovin' on Katelyn. :)
Our next big adventure was the annual Draper family trip to Fish Lake over Labor Day weekend. Jacob talked about it for weeks and weeks, and I think it was all he had dreamed of and more...
Jake looked like it was Christmas morning when he got to ride the 4-wheeler with grandpa. He was so excited!
Me and my little man. He's so much fun!
The little guy didn't quite keep his energy to the end, but how cute is this?
Uncle Jamie's such a good helper.
Grandma Terri hates it when we take her picutre, but I think she's beautiful and I love seeing her hold my babies. So, whether you like it or not, mom, I'm putting this pic up for the world to see what a beautiful grandmother you are. Love you!
On Jake's second trip out, he got to fish FOR REAL!!!
Back at home, life is good. Brian has now started his 7th(?) year teaching and is loving it. I'm teaching dance 2 days a week and loving being home with my babes the rest of the time. Jacob and Katelyn are our sunshine. They make every day precious and special.
Brian brought home an old, yucky trumpet that hardly plays for Jacob. The little guy is in heaven! He can actually buzz a note! Go Jake!
Katelyn is 9 months old TODAY!!! I can't believe how quickly she is growing. She loves crawling around, exploring the world, snuggling (especially with mom), singing and chattering to herself and everyone else, and going on walks. I can hardly remember life without her. What a blessing this little girl is. We sure love her!
Cute kids..fun summer adventures.
