WILLIAM IS THREE

We had William's birthday party in the morning, he was SOOO excited. It was an out of control excitement thrill to have all his friends there. There was the scavenger hunt for balsa wood planes, free play in the downstairs, then yummy hot dogs and fruit for lunch. We ended with a strawberry bavarian cake! There were twelve cute little boys and their parents.

Rachel and Katherine, eating with Lauren (Thomas's mom)

Gretchen and Anabel

Then it was OFF TO CAMP at ALBION BASIN up at Alta Utah. It was a quick overnighter....wiht lots of funny happenings (Lisa Cannon singing, Lauren locking herself in the car, a hike up to Cecret Lake). Two moose walked through out camp, it was fantastic.

What fun the campgroud is!

William LOVED having his balsa wood planes from his party earlier that day.

Lauren, not sure about the cold....

We were able to make a nice fire despite only having wet wood!

The Wildflowers were amazing

Lisa Cannon came with us!

Fourth of July on Harrison, 2011

Fourth of July on Harrison! This was Williams third year in the annual Forth of July parade on Harrison and Lauren got to join for her second time! It was hilareous......the older kids zoomed ahead and the little ones, dependent on their parents, moved at a much slower pace.

William decided the wagon was too slow, so he ran the rest of the way.

Rachel Hayes (with Rosy and Curtis) joined us as well as the twins, Jake and Nate.

Lauren was happy to be on dad's shoulders, eating breakfast and getting a birds eye view of the action. Jessica Osborn and family joined in the festivities.
