Summer Recap 2011--take 3!

After our trips in the east and getting Tyler up in DC, we came back down to my parents house and got ready for our trip to NYC to find an apartment, after those ten days were done we came back to the parents house for a week, and then got packed up again to go to Utah to see the other side of our family!!

When we go to Utah, probably the number one priority besides seeing family is playing games with the family. WE LOVE IT!!! I really mean it, I would say we play on average at least two or three board games or card games a day. The board games we play are not just easy games either, they are 2-3 hour games too. Oh we love it!!! :)

This little fellow is one of our nephews. He was such a happy boy. I had a difficult time this summer with all of the nieces and nephews because they are ALL of my favorites!!! I just couldn't get enough of the smiles and giggles they had. We all miss them greatly and did not like leaving them.

Such a sweet innocent face!

Here is our other nephew and his sister so our niece. They were snuggling, and it was so cute! They were both smiling the whole time.

Cute little nieces' feet. I can't get enough of baby feet.

Here's Carter!!! He is such a crazy, fun, silly little boy!

Okay remember how we saw Dawson last summer right after he was born?? This was him last summer, so this is what I remember him being.

Well, this is him this summer?!?!?!!

Crazy how much he changed over a year, right? He's still such a cute stinker. :)

He was unsure of Tyler, me and Spencer because he doesn't remember us. Once he got used to us he started showing off some of his tricks. He would go sit on the edge of the fireplace, then we would say "Ready, set, go!"

Then he would get up and just throw himself onto the floor, sometimes he would take a step or two, but mostly he threw himself onto the ground. It was hilarious because he just kept doing it!

Going to my brother's house was so great! The kids there are so awesome, and Spencer has a cousin who is just four months younger than him, and like ALL the same things! Here they are hanging out in Austin's room. Whenever we went over there Austin would say hello to all of us, then they would just disappear into Austin's room, and then we didn't see them until we left. Good buddies these two.

This is princess McKaylee, and she has grown up so much into a beautiful little lady. She has quite the fashion sense, and is a great dancer!

While there, my brother had to go coach a soccer team, actually Austin's soccer team, so we tagged along. Here is Dawson watching daddy coach.

And Austin listening to Seth's coaching. Seth was a great coach to watch, he got the kids moving, as well as himself, and had them all giggling and having fun while learning about soccer.

I turned around at one point and Dawson had gone after a pink soccer ball that was to the side of the field, and he got just close enough to put his big toe on it, I thought it was quite a cute little thing.

Austin the star soccer player!!! Woot! Woot!!

While in Utah we also went and visited my Grandma Rigby. She is a wonderful lady who I look up to quite a bit. We miss living in Utah so we could see her more often and chat with her about basketball and all that is going on. She's a pretty awesome and beautiful lady.
