Paislee was really good but still said “I am not a fan of hiking” haha

It was cool to look straight out past the lake and know our house was right across the lake somewhere.

I wish brady didn’t have his eyes closed in the picture above. Because its one of the few pictures where they are hugging each other voluntarily. Even if it was because the water from the falls was extremely cold. =)

Brian and I went to a movie on Sunday and when we came home we walked in and saw this sign.

The table was set and Brady was even dressed as a waiter in his Sunday best. (he wouldn’t let me get a picture) They served us crackers and bread and then graham crackers with chocolate for dessert. We love our thoughtful little kids. =)

Brady and Brian went fishing the other day and came back with 20 white bass. I was so excited because I love fish and I was excited Brian and Brady enjoy doing something together.

We went to the Duchesne County Fair last week. It was fun to go to a demolition derby and see a lot of our family.

We were so happy to get to go up and see Brian’s Grandma Mckowen. We don’t get up there as much as we would like to . Its so nice to visit with her. Brady was excited to get to drive a riding lawn mower.

The lawn mower quit a couple times because if there is not enough weight on the seat it stops. Brady was driving between the trees in the back ground and saw a branch coming up. He couldn’t reach the break so he just dove off. It was pretty funny.

We finally got around to adding on to the deck. When I say we I mean Brian did the real work and I painted=)I’m so lucky to have Brian I think he could build anything if he tried.  It turned out great. I love sitting on the deck reading with Utah lake and MT Timpanogas as my view.
