A few pictures from Temple Square

On Monday morning before we made the long drive back to WA, we were able to spend the morning on Temple Square. I love it there! It'd been a while since we were last there :)

The boys:

One day Steve and I are going to own a condo downtown Salt Lake City so we can visit whenever we want!

flexible feet

Cole has them. Everyone's been commenting on it lately!

I don't know, is this a normal baby thing?

Or does he just have ridiculously flexible feet!?

And look! Cole's first time riding in the shopping cart!

I know he's 8 months old but somehow he'd never done it til yesterday!

Happy Birthday to Steve!

Steve's mom pulled out the accordion and played the Happy Birthday song.

It was so cute :)

Silly girls reunited

It'd been THREE whole months!!

Flo Rider

The ONLY "Flo Rider" (is that how you spell it?) in Washington is in Moses Lake and we just happened to be there this week.

Watch Steve, Will and Marie tear it up!!

It's super super hard to do!

I was too chicken to try it :(

Crazy busy, crazy fun!

TUESDAY:

We drove to Moses Lake, met up with Aunt Marie, Uncle Will and their kids at a water park and then went to see Scarlet, Bruce and baby Levi!

(I didn't get a single picture with Marie or her babies. I know, that's awful :(

WEDNESDAY:

Road trippin' to Utah

12 hours!!

Cole did great :)

TODAY:

We're with Aunt Emma, Uncle Jake and baby Annabelle and we met up with Deborah on BYU campus.

We're having fun and there's lots more to do and see!

Strawberry Pie

And some other random things:

It's a different kind of summer here.

Strawberry Pie. (YUM!)

Walks at 2 pm without melting (!!)

And a beautiful house.

We've sure missed this!

We're Here!!!!

We're here in Washington and loving it!

And especially Cole's loving all the attention! :)

Scenes from our walk this evening

Munchkin Man:

Some weird-looking ducks (?!) on the canal. Anyone know what kind these are?

I thought these branches looked cool. I need to figure out some cool picture to take with them. Maybe as a background in a portrait? I'll try it out.

I figured out how to do silhouettes. Yay!

Happy Birthday Bekah!

Today was Bekah's 25th birthday!

We celebrated by doing crafts,

going out to eat,

and baking cookies in our car :)

Happy Birthday Bekah! I hope it was great! :)

Another video!!

This one is short, and of course I think it's so cute!!

Cole started copying us when we smack our lips and I caught it on camera. Yay!! :)

7 and a half months old!!

I know these pictures aren't perfect (a wrinkly blanket for a background is hardly ideal, I'm still trying to figure out how to take pics in my living room!) But I thought that the faces he was making were cute :)

In awe:

Happy face:

Mid lip-smack face:

So over it, Mom.

My tummy feels cool!

Still bored:

Why am I wearing an oversized bow-tie, Mom?
