Draper Day's Rodeo! Keep scrolling there are lots of posts.

On our way to our family reunion which I will post later we were able to go watch my brother calf rope at the Draper Rodeo. He did really well and Bentley loved every second of it. Nick and Bentley were standing over on the edge of the fence when like 15 feet away from them a bull jumped the fence! I haven't seen Nick move that fast in a long time, but he did and they ran up into the stands. After a while they were able to contain the bull and the rodeo went on. It was a late night but so much fun.

another playdate for Bentley :)

This is Landon and Bentley playing the back yard kiddie pool. Bentley loves having friends over to play!

Nixon's blessing day.

This is so sad, but this is the only picture we had time to take. But Nick gave a beautiful blessing and it was so spiritual. We are so glad to have Nixon in our lives!

July 4th

So these pictures are in reverse order, but at least there on here right? The 4th was the night before we blessed Nixon and so we had so much family in town that I did a big BBQ in the back yard.


This is Michelle and her boys Clayton, Morgan and Logan watching the fire works from our front yard.

This grandma W. holding Bentley and his sweet cousin Abigail. They were so excited each time one would go off...Bentley kept yelling BOOM BOOM.

Here is my dad with Bentley and his first Sparkler!

This is Nick's mom's parents so his grandparents at the BBQ.

Nick was able to stop by quicklly and eat with us so this is the only quick shot we got on the 4th.

This is my brother's sweet daughter Abigail...isn't she to die for?

Here are all the kids (if aunt Stef is considered a kid still) from left to right

Halle, Stef and Bentley, Morgan, Clayton with Nixon, Logan and Abigail.

Here are the boys eating...Morgan, JT and Clayton.

My sweet brother just sat in the nursery forever and rocked little Nixon and then of course Bentley wanted to crawl up as well!

We caught Grandpa Teerlink snoozing outside in the 100+ degree weather.

Just relaxing inside.

Grandma W with Halle and Nixon. So a few things to remember about this 4th of July:

Halle stepping on a bee in the grass...OUCH!

Halle catching her darling dress on fire with a sparkler and Mckay getting the flames out.

31+ family and friends here at our house to celebrate with us!

Lots of good food!

Hope that the next year brings all the same except the bee's and fire's! Halle we are glad that you didn't get burned just your cute little dress did.

Baby Ella and Nixon

This is Nixon and Ella. My really good friend Jessica Richards stopped by while I was up at my mom's so that I could see her darling little girl. They are only a few weeks apart. They were both just snoozing away.

Jumpin Jacks

After returning from Lake Powell Nick and I decided to take the boys over to Jumpin Jacks....I thought Bentley would just love it, but no he cried and cried. I think that mostly he was scared of the big kids running around him and jumpin etc while he was trying to go down the slides etc.

Him waiving to me before he slid down.

Just one of his pouting faces I got on camera.

Our first trip to Lake Powell

Another fun Lake Powell trip!! It was a bit hectic with my two boys but well worth it. Bentley loved going on the voom voom (wave runner) with his daddy and on the tube with his mommy. He also couldn't be out of his papa's sight as seen below. He sure loves his grandpa's! We ate fantastic food as usual and created great memories. We are looking forward to going again in a few weeks hopefully we won't be having wind storms this trip.

Bentley and Doug (papa)
Halle and Bentley kissing!
