Isn't Uncle Ken fun?

Story time.

Cute little Seth really warmed up to Ken.

Quick trip to Boise

While my sister was still in town we decided to make a trip to Boise to visit our Grandpa.
It was fantastic...we love getting to spend some time with him. To make it even better our Aunt Candace drove down from Washington to see us too!

On the drive back to Utah we drove off the road a bit into Twin Falls where there is this huge gorge.

We also drove past the new Twin Falls temple...looking very Idaho-ish in the middle of the fields.

Some pretty Idaho scenery.

Fun with the cousins

While my sister and her kids were here visiting we went to BYU's dinosaur museum...which they thought was pretty cool.

We also spent a day up in Salt Lake doing all kinds of things. ..like visiting "This is the Place" Heritage Park.

One perfect summer weather night, we went to Rock Canyon Park and cooked foil dinners with Ken's family.

Beautiful Kate.

Julius' 9 month pictures

What can I say about these? They are adorable. I have to thank Tiffany Garfield...again. I have loved every picture she's taken of Julius. She's fantastic. Thank you! And I have to thank my mom because she got Julius to laugh and smile for these pictures like he has never done for pictures before! (Julius just loves Grandma Kathy!)

St. George

My sister Jenny and her family are in St. George visiting her inlaws so we headed down for 4 days to hang out.

Julius and mom

John and Elaine invited us to go to Tuacahn with everyone to see Annie. Tuacahn is a great outdoor theater in St. George. It was fantastic...I forgot how much I like Annie. My sisters and I were huge fans when we were little. We had a red wig and I'm pretty sure I remember singing "It's a hard knock life" while we cleaned our bedroom. Ken has never seen the movie...so I think we will have to rent it.

Julius really liked the playroom at the Mizukawas.
