Baby blessing

One of the reasons that we went to Utah was to bless Zach and my niece while we were all together. It was great to have our loved ones in the circle for Zach's blessing and he got through the whole thing without crying. It was also very neat because my brother was also able to be in the circle with Stuart and my Dad and brother-in-law, so it really was a great family experience. It really gives me an eternal perpective when I see all my immediate family there together. Plus the babies looked so cute in their white outfits, what more can you ask for.

Zach was pretty much done being in his white outfit, but Elly was all smiles as usual.

For some reason it is almost impossible to get Gracie to smile for us in a picture. She always looks so serious or sad. She really does smile, I promise.

More Utah

The trip to Utah is over and it went by way too fast. We were so busy doing fun stuff it is no wonder. Gracie got to go to a petting zoo and ride a pony. Stuart got to ride some ATVs with my brother up in the beautiful mountians, and I got to ride a jet ski for the first time. It was so much fun, although getting thrown off the jet ski was not as fun and graceful as I thought it would be. And of course we got to spend time with my family which was also a good time. Hmmm...nothing like a family reunion in the heart of summer.

Utah trip

We have been lucky enough this year to get together with my family in Park City, Utah for a mini family reunion. It has been great. We got a much needed break from the heat of Florida, and some fun times with my family. We went to the Utah zoo for a day where Gracie got to ride the merry-go-round twice (so 2 different animals), and a little train! It was a very fun day. I can't believe how quickly this week is going by, but I guess all vacations feel this same way. More to come with more activities planned!

Friend's blog

My good friend back in Colorado Springs is having a fun givaway on her blog, check it out: piggybacktothepeak.blogspot.com And for those from Colorado, her blog is very fun to look for new restuarants and fun hikes to take!

Next stop...Milan

Gracie is constantly going and finding shoes to put on, whether it be her shoes, my shoes, Stuart's shoes or even the babies socks. I think she walks in high heels better then I do! I keep telling my friends that everyone needs to have a girl, so you get some funny moments like these, all though chances are we will see this again when Zach starts walking too. And of course those will be photographed and shared as much as possible as well!
