Bear Lake

This past week we went to Bear Lake with my side of the family. We had a good time camping, playing in the lake, and being with family. It sure is a lot of work to camp with two little kids!

Hyrum won a beach ball for getting a BINGO.

He didn't really like playing in the water, but he LOVED playing in the sand on the beach.

The simple joys of suckers and cousins.

Miles didn't care for the water (as you can see) and spent most of his time at the beach rolling around in the pack-and-play.

It was a fun trip! So nice to finally get a vacation this summer!

Miles' new look

Miles has always had long, kind of fluffy hair on top. It is very, very different from Hyrum's thick, coarse hair. The other day we were cutting Hyrum's hair and decided it was time to give Miles a trim as well.

AFTER

I think it makes him look so much older! What a studly little man!

Time

Time is a funny thing. It flies when you're having fun, it stops completely when you're bored, and it definitely has a way of changing things. A lot of time has passed since we last posted, so here are some pictures to fill you in on what we've been up to lately, starting with Hyrum:

Hyrum loves Miles. Sometimes he loves him a little too much. His new favorite trick is climbing into Miles' crib in the morning (they share a room) and waking him up. His favorite thing--not mine.

Like any good 20 month-old, he also loves puzzles and cardboard boxes.

He loved the fireworks on the 4th of July and playing with glow sticks.

We went to a splash park today, and Hyrum was in heaven. He had so much fun! I gotta get us a sprinkler!

And then there's Miles:

It's hard to believe my baby is already 6 months old!

He loves to play with toys that make noise and have lights. He also loves to roll around everywhere. I think he's catching on how to escape from Hyrum. . .

And he loves eating solid foods! Peaches are his favorite. We're working to see how many chins we can get him. . .

We love our boys and getting to enjoy the nice summer weather with them. Hyrum brings me his shoes several times each day and asks to go "side" (outside).

Yep, life is good!
