Cercet Lake Alta Utah Hike-more summer memories

Aunt Michele, Hannah, and Ryelle give Baby James a bath before another day of hiking...

After all the preparations we packed up the 3 cars and headed out to Alta. Along the way...
Some one got lost, 40 mins south of where we were heading, and someone got a flat tire, and someone found a long lost love “rascal D” only to lose him again within 3 minutes along side the free way…. There were some short tempered, hungry, & hot people…Can you believe it after all that and a tow truck we still had a GREAT TIME in BEAUTIFUL ALTA!

My Mountain Climbers Benji and Hannah

Snow in July What a treat!

Of course we had to have a snow ball fight!

I think the Snow ball fight was a great release! Especially the cousins from Oregon coast have not seen snow in so long they were so excited.

Best Buddies looked for fish in Cercet Lake

Dan was so determined to get this crew up the mountain despite all the mess we had trying to get there. And Thank goodness he did We had a great time. Thanks Babe!

One Month Monkey

Our Baby Cal at one month.
Because we met at the zoo Cal has a zoo themed room. At placement Benji gave this same little huggey monkey(with Velcro hands) to Cassie at the hospital and told her "he can hug you back". We also have one for Steven and Benji has one he sleeps with as well.

Lovely little piggies!

And hes done with the photos :)

Benji and Neighbor friend Anson dressed up as superhero ninjas and road their bikes around our driveway. I LOVE their imaginations!

The girls wanted to join in the bike parade fun too. Summer fun filled days!

Babbling Cal-alittle current update

So playing catch up with our summer life of photos has taken lots of time. My last post was of the 4th of July posted in October...So I wanted to sneak in a current look at our baby Cal at 4 months old 16lbs and 26inches.


Dad decided to slip Benji's sun glasses on Cal while I was ordering the ice cream for our Saturday after pumpkin land...

I think Cal is a little shocked by the eye wear...

Such a cute silly face!

Brotherly love!

Our Happy Baby!
