Our Utah Weekend

We really enjoyed our trip this weekend! We loved seeing Laura get married, hang out with Kate, meet Clark, and visit with the Moss's and Heslington's. We didn't take a lot of pictures, but here's a few:

We went for a little family hike up Rock Canyon.
Throwing rocks was daddy's idea...the girls LOVED it!

That Lizzie!

The wedding and reception were beautiful- Laura was beautiful, and her and Jacob look so happy together!

We Love Caitlin

We love our sweet, helpful Caitlin!

Caitlin loves, loves, LOVES to be a big help. She's always asking "what can I do?" which sometimes is great and sometimes not so great. And sometimes there's a hidden agenda...like when she comes back later and asks for a nickel for the work she did.

I got this kids' yoga DVD from the library, called Yoga by the Dozen. It's so cool! Caitlin and Elizabeth LOVE it. They did the whole video three times in a row the first time I put it on. Here's Caitlin's moves, after only watching the video 4 times total:

I can't even do this. She did if for a second or two, and I'm impressed!

The girls found this crown activity in the Friend magazine. Here's Caitlin showing off hers...and some sass, too.

Remember the official birthday table? We've been feeling the need for a larger (well, wider) table for awhile now. They had a tabletop just sitting amid scrapes at Rod's work, so he asked his boss if he could have and voila- a new kitchen table!! It's metal and looks SWEET (the original wooden legs are supporting it). We love it. We can fit people, plates, AND food on it- all at the same time. Brings sort of an industrial/urban edge into the decor. We plan on retiring the benches and getting chairs to go around it. What do ya think?

Any suggestions on what to do with the old tabletop?

Happy Father's Day!

I love you Dad!

Some Sunflowers in our garden...

and some more sunflowers...

Can you believe someone threw this chair away? Yup, I dumpster-dove for it. Painted it black, covered it with outdoor fabric and foam...good as new!!

Random Whittle Pics....

Dad and Devon playing Battleship

I love the look on Sasquach's face during his bath.

A clean (for 2 minutes anyways) Chewy.

Mt. Shasta. I LOVE the sunsets here, I didn't realize how much I was missing when we lived on on the mountain in all the trees.

Cameron is in heaven-toads in our yard.

I thought this was really pretty

And Alex is in heaven. Chocolate pudding anyone?

I will put some pics of our house up soon!
