Hello Everyone. Have you missed me? And Where has the time gone? Who is with me and thinks that summer went by way too quickly? Why does that have to happen, why can't the winter months go fast instead of the glorious summer days and nights? So where did I leave off, I don't even remember it's been so long.
To start off we had such a fun summer being close to both our families. We were able to see and do a lot of fun activities together. Daniel finished up teaching his Accounting course at BYU and had a great impact on his students and vice a versa. I was happy when he was finished because that meant more time spending with him. Daniel also got in a lot of golf time this summer. The boys in his FAMILY played in a golf tournament and took 2ND!!! While they played golf, mom, Kelsi, dad and I helped our neighbors across the street put in their grass.
Calvin celebrated his 9 month BIRTHDAY this summer and is now 10 1/2 months old. With the amounts of photos seen below you probably can tell we just can't get enough of our cute boy. These smiles and giggles make each day brighter and more enjoyable.
I threw a friend party and everyone showed up with their lovely spouses. The only person missing was my dear friend Jessica who was serving in the Chile Santiago Mission at the time. I'm so happy for always having good friends I continue to have a good relationship with. We have all been friends since middle school.
A trip to Logan. I think yes. We stayed with Nate (dan's older brother) and Kristie. The kids adore Calvin which kept him very entertained. He would stare at them with such anticipation and then get so frustrated because he couldn't move to go play with them. They were really great babysitters and would beg and plea for us to not move to Texas. While we visited, we went up to Henry Fork Lake. It is absolutely beautiful up there. It's a smaller lake but it's in the middle of gorgeous mountains. We canoed and swam. Calvin had a riot in the water like always. Dan and Nate took the kids out to teach them how to flip a canoe and then turned into Jack Sparrow and William Turner and walked under water.
Boating Trip with the Hansen Family.
What a splendid time that was. I even finally got up on the wake board my first time ever!! Calvin even went tubbing, but apparently dad was going to slow because he fell asleep. we jumped in to swim around for awhile and Calvin loves water so much he was giggling the entire time and would scream if we wouldn't get him out there fast enough.
The other day we were painting and I asked Daniel a question and all of sudden it was really quiet and I felt something cool and wet slip between my toes. I look down to behold Calvin dumping the paint bucket , luckily we grabbed him before he shoved the pain in his mouth. Both Daniel and I were laughing so hard which cause us to reflect how grateful we are. We could have gotten so upset and frustrated but instead laughed about it and life went on, we saved most of the paint and cleaned up just great. Plus we had a happy baby in the bath tub.
