Balloon Festival

Sandy city "Glow Fest". The balloons fill up but don't launch - really cool to see the balloons. Eli liked those but he loved the bluegrass band playing! Such a music boy.
So much fun to be there with the Packs, Parks, and Zehnters!!

Pineview 2012

The Isoms have a tradition of camping with Becky's family that goes back to when Kelly was a kid. For the last 9 years or so that trip has been to Pineview Reservoir over the 4th if July. This was our first camping trip with Eli and it turned out to be a lot of fun (and much less stressful than I anticipated).
We all arrived on the afternoon of the 4th and jumped right into the fun.

It's Raining! It's Pouring!

Our first big summer rain. The puddles weren't quite big enough for splashing, but Eli tried it out anyway. I love summer rain!

Wild One!

When daddy is on post-bath duty...

Swimmin' in the Backyard

Sometimes it's just too hard to get to the big pool so this will have to do. Actually, I think he likes the independence and lack of swim suit to be honest. Yeah for backyards and baby pools!

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

Today we celebrated Grandpa's 74th birthday! We played, went out to lunch, shopped, played, went to dinner, slept, went to church, slept, ate dinner, and slept some more. Just the 2 day celebration Grandpa wanted.
We are so grateful to have Roger in our lives and so grateful Eli gets to love and hug him everyday. Thanks, Gramps, for all you do! Happy Birthday!!

FHE with the Packs

We met Anne, Brandon, and Ethan at the 90th south Trax station and rode the train downtown for a Polynesian dance and music concert at the Gallivan center. So much fun!! The boys loved the train. It may actually have been being out of a cataract but still traveling, or maybe the bouncing around. Either way they were all squeals and smiles.
After some pretty good shave ice, we sat on the grass and enjoyed a really great show. They even had fire dancers! Ethan ran around dancing and making friend while Eli squealed and jumped and watched everyone around us. What a great night!
I love summer!
