The two Philly's!

Trevan went to Canada a few weeks ago and he dropped Kaleigh and I off in Philadelphia to spend a few days with Derrick and Ashley before they moved back to Utah! We had tons of fun swimming, going out to eat, movies and ice cream, talking and shopping on Market Street which brings us to our 2nd Philly........
Our First Family Pet!

Derrick bought a turtle on Market St. for Kaleigh! We named him Philly! Kal loves her little turtle and has had a lot of fun with him!

Trev's First Book Signing!

Trevan had his first book signing in Utah! (He had his second one a few weeks later!) We went to visit him and look who else showed up! That's right... Elmo! Kaleigh was in heaven. We ask her what the elmo song is and she starts singing "La La La La". Anyway, she gave him hugs and kisses and would not let him out of her sight the whole time.

For those of you who have not yet gotten Trev's book... I highly recommend you do! It is really an excellent book and will keep your attention. You will learn so much from it! It is available at Seagull Book, Deseret Book, Amazon and Granite Publishing! You will not be sorry if you get it!

4th of July!

We had a great 4th of July! We started out by having a breakfast at the parade with the Hatch family! We then went and had a bbq along with swimming which is always fun! Later in the evening we lit some of our own fireworks at our yearly Cold-e-Sac of Fire party! It was a lot of fun!

Summer at home!

We have been lucky to spend the summer at home in Utah! Trevan got accepted to do some research for BYU with some of the top scholors and present it at a symposium! He was very busy, but it paid off when he presented his research and did an awsome job!

Family Pictures!

Hot-Dog Hot-Dog Hot-Diggity-Dog!

Are anybody else's children obsessed with Micky Mouse and the song Hot-Dog? Everytime Kaleigh hears the song, she immediatly drops whatever it is she is doing, runs in and starts dancing her little heart away! It is so funny to watch. I get worried she is going to hypervenilate! (Sometimes she is a little more wild than this, but this is the best we have gotten on camera so far!)

Loads of Fun! (Week 4)

We got to go golfing with Derrick and Ashley! We are starting Kaleigh early in hopes that she will love to golf as much as we do! We might be in luck since she loves playing with the golf clubs and balls and riding in the cart!

Loads of Fun! (Week 3)

D.C

National Aquarium! Smithsonians!

We had so much fun with my parents! We went to Washington D.C a few times and saw many of the amazing Smithsonian Museums! (The Natural History Museum was my favorite by far!) We also went to Philly, Fort McHenry, the National Aquarium and many more things!

Loads of Fun! (Week 2)

Congratulations Derrick and Ashley!

These three are available!

I flew home to Utah to see my brother Derrick, get married to Ashley! We are so excited to have another sister-in-law in the family! We spent most of the vacation being sick, but the days we felt good were super fun! It was fun to see all of our good friends and family at the wedding.

Loads of Fun! (Week 1)

Statue of Liberty!

Some of Kal's friends!

Trev's sister Brittney and her husband Justin, Grandmom and Grandad, Dad, me, Trev and Kal!

Liberty Bell!

Some of Trevan's family came out to visit us and to watch his sister Sharlie, sing with her high school choir at Carnegie Hall. (spelling?) We got to go to Gettysberg with them, to Philly to see many of Grandmom and Grandads mission friends and to N.Y.C! It was so much fun!
