Catching Up...

I don't think it's even possible to catch up on what feels like the last month, but here's trying...

Dad's birthday! That's right everybody, Dad turned 60 this year! In this picture you see a very happy man who just received his birthday gift, a special round of golf. However, I think if you asked him, he would tell you that his favorite birthday gift by far was his new Corvette. You deserve it Dad.

Here are a few pictures from our "Summer" cleaning day out at the lake. It was pretty cold, but still a gorgeous day. I love this picture of Aidan! He kept giving me so many goofy faces...

Uncle Tyler

These guys came over from another dock to visit all the kids that were playing down by the water. Every time you went for the stick, so did they. So, it's true bravery you see here, Dexter trying to grab the stick..

Aunt Liz came home a few days early to get everything ready for her wedding...We were lucky enough to get to have her stay with us. This is Lizzie and Cooper's version of waiting up for the Brousseau's arrival.

Whoever thought Bee Movie would captivate this many people at the same time?

Before my wedding Candy took me on a special retreat to get massages together. We thought it would be fun to do something special with Liz before she got married, so we all went and got pedicures together. It was really fun to have Tori along, especially since she picked Shock Orange for her toes. (Candy...there are tons of pictures if you want them)

Here we have from left, Grayson, Jackson, and Jake. I don't think I'm telling any state secrets when I talk about the fact that Jake typically wears his pants up somewhere around his eyebrows with his shirt tucked in. One day Jackson watched very carefully as Jake tucked in his shirt. He proceeded to tuck his basketball shirt into his shorts. I got a quick picture while he enjoyed it, and then watched as he got a unhappy look on his face, and untucked his shirt. (You can see in the picture below, his drawstring up around the BYU logo)

Russell, over sensitized. (Me too bud)

Lizzie's bridal shower...

The Shavers...

We had such a great time being with everyone at the wedding. It was the first time in a long time that all my brothers and sisters were in the same place. It was a relaxing day thanks to the personalities of the bride and groom. Also, on a personal side note, Cooper got to meet his namesake! More about that later...

It takes a while for her to warm up Albert, but once she does, you're in forever...

As I mentioned before,

Princess Annie is here! Is she the cutest thing you've ever seen?

What an amazing couple of weeks. We're happy to be home and getting ready for it to get warm!

That covers most everything. Our washer ended up broken when I got home from the hospital. Awful timing. While all the family was here, there was throwing up, and we came home with a weeks worth of laundry...so think of me this weekend washing bedding, towels and baby blankets!
