Growing so fast!

Baby Ty is growing SO FAST!!!  He is just shy of 8 months and he is such a hot shot :) He crawls all over the place and even pulls himself up on furniture these days.  What a silly!  He will stand up on anything (even if it only stands a couple inches off the ground) so he is in a standing/crawling position... so funny!  He sure is Mr. Social and loves to play with his brother. 

Tanner vs. Ty

I think it's so fun to compare pictures of my boys.  You can tell they are brothers but they look so different!

Here they both are at 4 months.

Just some fun pics I took the other day of Ty.  I can't resist :)  He is just too cute. 

Our Yard

Mike and I have been working so hard on our yard this year!  We even bought some trees the other day to plant (pictures to come).  It has been such a fun place to hang out this summer.  Here are just a few pics:

Our fun slide

Even more fun with a pool at the bottom :)

Our garden

Tanner's mischievousness.  Pushing the button that turns on the sprinkler to the garden.

Cute summer toes :)

Independence Day

A tradition for us is the Logan Fireworks.  We've gone to them since we were dating.  We sit up on the HYPER the same field where Mike proposed :)  Anyway, this year we went with Angie and Rob and their kids (also a tradition) and Ashley and Dan and their kids.  They loved playing together and doing sparklers.  Mike was the "responsible" adult who lit the sparklers for them with his flame thrower (don't ask).

My sister Emily, my mom, and I stayed up until wee hours of the morning sewing matching patriotic shirts for our family.  Here are the ones I did for my little family (The boys didn't want cutesy shirts so they got Walmart ones :)  still cute)

For the actual 4th we went to Burley and played in the yard ALL DAY!  It was a total blast!  The kids played on the slide and had a total blast.

Our personal parade :)

June

Man, were we even home in the month of June?  To start the month of June off we hopped in the car and drove to South Dakota!  My parents went with us and my sister Emily and her husband and 2 girls met up with us there.  It was such a fun road trip!

Martin's Cover visitor's Center.   We stopped here on the way. 

Mt. Rushmore

Proof that we were there :)

Ty knows how to hike :)

Playing on the rocks in the black hills.  SO FUN!

Grandpa and Alexis

We went to an indoor water park at our hotel one day.  The kids loved it!  Here is Tanner showing off his back floats.

Tanner fell asleep floating around the lazy river.  Too cute!

Mike and I then headed for a weekend trip to Star Valley.  It was spontaneous and quick but so fun!  Sometimes you just need to escape for a couple of days. 

Mike and his boys.  

At the end of the month we went to Hebgan Lake and Yellowstone.  It was so beautiful and warm!  We saw two bears while driving through the park.  The first time I've ever seen a bear in the wild!

Tanner on the porch with his carpi-sun.  

Takin' a boat ride :)

Lisa and Tommy on the boat.

So relaxed!

Tanner and Brigham looking at the buffalo.  Such good buddies. 

On one warm afternoon I attempted wake boarding.....and failed.  Oh well :)  Try, try again, right?

BEAUTIFUL!

Tower Falls

Right out my car window!  Not even kidding!  This picture is hardly zoomed in. 

Yellowstone falls

Such good buddies

Ty just got toted around by everyone all week.  He loved it :)

Eliza Jane.  Those blue eyes are so gorgeous!!!
