rain, rain, don't go away

What do the kids do when it rains? It started out across the street then quickly came to our yard so they could include Briley. It was lots of fun to watch them all gang up on poor Porter. What a good group of kids. Briley had lots of fun chasing after everyone and hitting them as you can see in the picture of Briley getting ready to hit Caleb.

What's new

Just a few things that have been happening that are a little hard to capture in a picture. First of all Briley is now potty trained. It has been official for a little of two weeks. It just happened one day. Most of you know it has been a trying time in all of our lives. She is pretty strong willed. We tried everything, but one day it just clicked and everything came together, the stars must have aligned just right that night. What a big girl! Parker is also crawling. He has been crawling now for about a month or a little more. He is getting fast. We really have to watch him. He can climb up stairs and onto anything his size. He is starting to walk along furniture. Before long he will be walking. We'll let you know.

Woodworth family reunion

Here we are trying to pack for our Bear Lake getaway. Parker decides to help out. Actually he is really into climbing onto anything that he can. Looks like he found something.

Grandpa just has a way with the kids. Every time
we get together this is what happens.

This is where Parker was safe. He actually enjoyed
being at the lake. Probably the fresh air and all the attention.
So much to look at and to see. He was such a good boy.

And of course Briley with two of her favorite things,
Cousins and Water. She played all day in the water
and with her cousins. She had so much fun too.

Lunch at Fredrico's in Logan. They held still long
enough for this picture. They were all having fun still.

Thank you Grandpa and Grandma Woodworth for the great time at Bear Lake. It was really nice to get together with all the families and relax. It was good to visit with everyone and so nice to have Tyler, Mindy and Brooklyn back in Utah for a few days. We sure miss you guys. Thanks to all the families who always make getting together so fun and nice. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful, loving family. We love you all!

Our fourth of July

Our Fourth of July activity this year was going four-wheeling with the Dew's and the Reese's. We went up Spanish Fork Canyon up on Sky line drive. It was the perfect ride for the day because we took Parker in a front sling. We were expecting it to be a nice quite ride but we ran into a couple of incidents. First off we came to a cow crossing where two cows were stuck in the rails. It was sad. They boys tried to help them get out but the rancher showed up to cut them out. Then on our way back down we came to a truck in the middle of the road on fire. I guess the guy stopped due to smoke coming off his transmission, so he decided to pour two beers on the fire. The rest is history. luckily there were people close to help put out the fire from the truck as well as the mountain side.

Briley loves four-wheeling

Parker's first time going. He seemed to enjoy it.
He slept most of the time. The vibration of the ride
put him out.

This is the way he rode snuggles up to mommy

The truck, well what is left of it.

I guess we learned our lesson. Don't go during a holiday, you never know what you will run into.
