Behind Again

I feel as though I'm constantly behind on this thing. I really do try to keep up, but these last few months have been rather busy with getting ready to move, family visits, trips out of town and birthdays. But, I'm happy to say that we do have an apartment lined up to move into and we know what ward we will be attending when we get to Lincoln.

I'm hoping to get the rest of our backdating done in the next few days, but I won't make any promises. If nothing else, you'll hear again from us here when we make it to Lincoln and hopefully before we come back to Utah for Trevor's wedding.

Two Years Old

This is our big two year old. She had an excellent birthday, despite getting over being sick.

Here she is with her "friends" showing how much she has grown since she was born.

See...
one week old

Anyway, she had a great little birthday party with her aunts and uncles. We had cheeseburgers and pink cake (which is what she wanted..."pink" was her answer when I asked her what kind of cake she wanted or if she wanted cupcakes or a big cake.) and pink juice.

She opened presents and was excited for each one. She wanted to play with all the toys immediately, especially the "chalkit" and bubbles she got.

And she loved being sung too. She blew out the candles on her cake and then asked for more singing.

Kansas Cousins

Sydney got to spend some time after the Eddington family reunion with her cousins that live in Kansas.

Sydney and Kaytie loved playing with each other. It was really great to watch them play together.

These four are Melissa's kids. It was a little crazy with six kids running around our apartment at times, but it was tons of fun having them here, even if we got them sick.

Bear Lake--picture heavy

Picture 3577

We went up to Bear Lake, Utah for the Eddington Biannual family reunion. Sydney and I had never been to Bear Lake before and even Charles was able to fully enjoy this trip up there, since the last time the reunion was at Bear Lake was just before we got married and I've heard that he was a little preoccupied.

I loved how blue the water is. And how shallow the lake is. You can walk quite a ways out and still stand with your head above water.

We had a great time canoeing and playing in the lake, not to mention playing games and catching up with all the various Eddingtons in attendance.

Make all the boy moose go Whuah!

Picture 3465

On our way up to Bear Lake going through Logan Canyon, we came around a corner and saw a Mommy and a baby moose. Exciting to see, but glad to see them heading back up the mountain and not the front of our car.

Fourth of July

Provo's Fourth of July Parade.
Picture 3276

I took tons of pictures of floats and marching bands, but I have no desire to weed through them at this time to post them...maybe later. I did get this awesome picture of Presidents Samuelson and Holland as they went through the parade in the rain (which stopped soon afterward).

The rest of the day was spent with family, whether at our apartment, at the park or in the parking lot across the street from the Stadium of Fire.
