Bryce turns 1

On July 19th Bryce turned 1 years old!! I still can't believe he's a year already!!! I feel like he was a tiny baby yesterday and now he's a big kid... well almost a big kid... definitely on his way!! So for his big day we had a family party with grandma, grandpa and lots of cousins at our house and boy did we have fun.. huh Bryce?!?! :)

I made Bryce a colorful B-day cake and he absolutely tore it to pieces... These pictures are in order of enjoyment. Bryce was so funny to watch eat it all up. He seemed really focused and didn't waste much time getting it all down!!

Was a little hesitant at first....

Then realized the deliciousness of what he had in front of him and chomped away...

..backed off for a few noticing we were all watching him :) ..and then started right back over!! It was so funny and cute. I am glad he liked his B-day cake so much as I am sure all 1 year olds do!!!

Opening presents and of course getting lots of help doing so from big sister Brielle :)

Well this one present was probably my favorite toy Bryce got. He likes it too but I really like it. It walks and make crazy dragon noises. Such a fun toy!! Bryce seemed to have a good time at his little party and we just love him so much!!! A little sad that he's growing up so fast but love him more than anything!!! Happy Birthday Bryce Man!!

Cute randomness!!

Brielle and Scott at the Nickel Arcade.. Just want to squeeze her!! :)

Brielle and Bryce being little munchkins in the morning... my absolute favorite time of day is waking up with these two. Love you kiddos!!

Cabin Adventure!!

So I would say about a month ago we went to Deer Valley for a last minute cabin overnighter. We -meaning good friends the Kennard's and Bailey's- had planned on camping it up, but the rain set us back and therefore lead us to this lovely place!! I am so glad it rained cause the cabin we stayed in was so nice and we had so much fun! ;)





The boys went fly fishing, the girls went swimming, we all went shopping, and the kids had a blast. I love last minute trips like this!! Spur of the moment adventures!! They always turn out to be fun and a memorable experience.





Top pic is the boys practicing fly fishing on the deck... follwoing pic's are of Brielle and Taeya playing games on the table, then the next pic is of them right before bed. They slept under the table together and it was so cute!! The next pic is Bryce being a busy body on the pull out couch bed. And then the last pic is of Bryce and me swimming of course :) Good times!!

CUTE Brielle and Taeya :) ...Cabin Continued....

So at the end of our stay in Deer Valley, we decided to head to the outlets in Park City for some shopping. We first had a little picnic on the grass and then a little playtime. I thought these pic's were funny. Scott put Brielle and Taeya over his shoulders and spun them around for a awhile, then set em' down as we watched them flop around dizzy as can be and then "BAM" to the ground they went.They tumbled, then they tickled each other, then they pulled faces. It was cute and quite the routine! I love these girls!! They are soooooooo cute!!

Temple Square with the Andersen's...

I have been so lucky this summer to have had all of my sisters come visit Utah and stay at our house. They all live far away so don't see them as much as I would love to. So this summer has been extra fun having them all here at one point. My oldest sister Maquel and her family came last and we did the whole Temple Square adventure. They wanted to "hit" everything.. so we walked and walked and walked to get through it all and let me remind you that this was about 4 days after the marathon so it was quite challenging for me to keep up :) ..We had a great time though and I enjoyed being with their sweet family!
