Backpacking in Coyote Gulch

While Lesley went to play in Idaho Falls, I got to go backpacking in the Grand Staircase down in south central Utah. Dad, Uncle Ben, Uncle Randy, and Cousin Abram all came along for the fun.

A Great Weekend!

We had a great weekend with Ben, Linda Lee, and Lydia! It was so much fun to have them come visit. Unfortunately, we didn't get too many pictures, but I got a few of Lydia and Aubrey. We went to the park, swimming, on walks, Linda Lee helped me sew, cooked dinner, and had a nice time.

Playing with the Magic Kingdom. I had a hard time getting them both to look at me at the same time.

Lydia and Aubrey. Every time we took a picture, Lydia would always say, "For Grandma." So I had to make sure Grandma sees all the pictures!

Warmer Weather!

We have been enjoying warmer weather and Aubrey has had a chance to try out some of her summer outfits. It is so fun and she looks so cute. The first outfit I bought last summer when I was visiting Lindsey and Adam in Arizona.

Aubrey wore the above outfit to her first track meet this past Saturday!

Aubrey's outfit today. Love the jean shorts!

Sleeping

This picture was taken a few months ago but it is one of my favorites.

Visiting Aunt Lauren and Uncle Brian

It was such a nice weekend in Idaho Falls! Aubrey and I were able to spend Thursday evening through Tuesday morning with Lauren and Brian, and we had a blast. It helped that Aubrey was able to sleep good and was overall a very happy baby. She loved the warm weather, in the seventies all weekend! So nice! We got Aubrey a new ball and she already loves it.

Aubrey loves shoulder rides. She laughs and smiles so much.

Me and Aubrey outside enjoying the sunshine.

Saturday afternoon we headed up to Cress Creek. Lauren and Brian tried out their new stroller and played with Aubrey in the stream while I got a run it.

Looks like Aubrey is going to love pizza!

Lauren and I were too busy hosting and entertaining everyone at her baby shower on Saturday morning, but luckily I took a few pictures before. We had a great turnout and they got some fun new things for their baby. Less than 2 months until Aubrey has a new little cousin! Thanks for the great weekend!

Now we are just waiting for Cameron to get home from his backpacking trip. Hopefully he got some great pictures to share.
