Tucker's Bike Jump...

Tucker looks up to his Uncle Stuart a lot. And for better or worse, tries to copy a lot of things Stuart does. After spending the afternoon playing in the garage riding his bike and scooter he brought us out to show us this....

His "bike jump" is one of Daniel's boot stops, which help take cowboy boots off.

Tucker's Skim Board!

Tucker's Uncle Stuart has been working on making Tucker a skimboard all summer. When we decided to head to Bear Lake for the weekend, I ran to Wal-Mart and bought the rest of the stuff Stuart needed to finish the skimboard for Tucker. Here's how it turned out...so cool!!! Thanks Uncle Stu! Tucker spent the whole time at the beach throwing his skimboard and trying to figure out how to do it. It was pretty cute to watch. To learn more about skimboarding, you can check out Stuart's blog.

My Niece Megan's Wedding!

My oldest niece Megan got married in the Mesa Temple on August 15th, to Taylor Conway. I was lucky enough to go to Arizona and leave my kids home with my husband (and neighbors) to celebrate with her and her family! She was a beautiful bride...as you can see, and it was so neat to be in the temple with her and her husband for their sealing.

Here's Megan and Taylor with Megan's parents, Brett and Barbara. Brett is my oldest brother.

Here's all of my siblings and parents that were at the wedding, back row: Justin, Brett, and Kara. front row: Camilly, Mom, Dad, Me

Me and my niece, Brooke at the Temple.

My family at the luncheon.

Here I am with my two nieces, Megan and Brooke. This is where they had the luncheon and reception. The reception was soooo fun! We all got to just dance the night away!! It was a blast....probably mostly because I didn't have to chase after my kids all night! :)

Here is her cake...It was sooo pretty! I loved it!

Jackson Hole

We just took a really fun family trip to Jackson Hole, with Daniel's family. I think this is one of my favorite trips to take with kids. There are so many fun things to do for all ages. And where we stayed had an awesome kids sized pool, which Tucker and Nora Jane both loved.

Here we are at the Rodeo. This is one of Daniel's and mine favorite things to do in the summer, and sadly we just haven't done it much since having kids. It was fun to take Tucker and Nora Jane.

Tucker got to do the bungee trampoline. I've got some videos, I'll see if they will post. He looked like he was going to puke, I was really nervous, but he said he was having fun.

Here are Daniel and Tucker going up to the Alpine Slide. He still talks about this...he loved it!

Here they are at the top, ready to race Stuart, with Amy in front of them. I raced Amy...and smoked her!

Here they are at the end, they smoked Stuart...who fell off and got pretty badly injured. :(

Daniel got to do lots of biking...both road and mountain.

We got to do a little shopping downtown, without the kids...so nice!!!

Tucker's Wakesurfing debut!

Tucker has been talking about WakeBoarding or Wake Surfing ever since Daniel bought him his wakeboard last year. Well last night, we took some friends up to Willard Bay, and his dreams came true!! Even though he appears to be crying (and did actually cry at one point)...he seemed to really like it, he was just nervous about falling off the board he said, and he loves telling people that he wake surfed! We are so proud of you Tucker Man!

Nora Jane's Walking

Daniel and I took a trip to Lake Powell, and left the kids with Grandma and Grandpa Pace. We had a great time! While we were gone, Nora Jane officially started walking. She had taken a few steps here and there on her own, but now she walks everywhere! Here's some videos of her.

Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend we went to St. George to stay at Daniel's Grandpa's house with his family. We went down a day before his family and took the boat out on Sand Hallow with just our little family.

Nora Jane is enjoying to boat much more than last year, thank heavens!

It was so hot, we had to have a wet towel to cool off the seats!

I don't think I've ever seen my husband smile this big in a picture before!

I sent Nora Jane in the water to cool off!

This is the next day with Daniel's family. Much cooler. Here's our new tube with Daniel's sisters and brother-in-law testing it out. They had a nice, long, slow ride cause Annalisa's pregnant.

He's totally got this figured out!

Nora Jane kept tapping Tucker on the head, and getting right in his face to yell who know's what at him. I think they were really enjoying it. She also kept waving at her aunts and uncle on the tube.
