Fun at Lake Powell

Dallin is a crack up! He always likes to make us laugh. I was on the back of the boat snapping shots of theLake Powell setting when Dal came around the corner making this face. He said, "Don't you want to take a picture of this"? I most certainly did.


When they weren't swimming the boys were hunting for lizards. They caught four in all (three of which survived).




Blake loved the water, especially in his frog floatie.

Like father, like son. Caleb's a fisherman like his dad.

Blake the Bulldog

Dallin is so sweet with Blake. I love the quiet moments when I discover the boys doting over their new little brother.


I adore this outfit that Grandma bought for Blake. Everytime he wears it I see a slight similarity between Blake and the bulldog he's sporting. Something about his chubby cheeks and squinty little eyes. I'm not sure what it is, but it makes me laugh.



Downtown Carnival

While Dad and Mom were visiting we hit the downtown carnival for an evening of fun. The boys were treated to an unlimited park pass and took full advantage of it. They hit every ride possible and some multiple times. Before we knew it the rides were shutting down and we realized we were some of the last guests standing. Some might think it slightly irresponsible for a six and four year old to be up till closing time, but exceptions are made while Papa and Grandma are in town. We partied all night long!

Memories

My friend Christina had this on her blog and I'm continuing it on my blog because it looks like a lot of fun.
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together.
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see who leaves a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses.
Enjoy!

The Fourth of July Parade

This year for the 4th of July we had a family reunion. With eight out of Michaels' family of ten siblings in town we were a crowd everywhere we went. It was so much fun! On the 4th we all woke up early and went to the Freedom Parade in Provo.






Curious George was a big hit.


Dallin was a fan.

During the not so entertaining portions of the parade, Caleb and his cousins discovered water bottles could serve as water fountains by poking a hole in the bottom. They took turns drinking in this fashion.

Thanks Aunt Britty for breakfast! Aunt Brit was the favored of the day when she showed up with donuts and treats for everyone.


I thought I'd capture a shot of everyone admiring the passing floats...instead I capture Adam admiring Mary. Who knows what Adam had to say, but Mary seems to be thoroughly enjoying the parade. Had to post this one.

Family Gathering at The Anderson's

Grandpa and Grandma Swenson in their matching outfits. They happily held Blake so that we could eat and socialize.



This is Richard's adorable baby girl.
