New Hat

We wanted to keep Keeney's ears warm in the cold weather so we bought this adorable little tiger hat for him 😊

Aren't I the cutest?

Bouncy bouncy baby!
Cute boy!

We also went to visit nana and papa in Logan for a couple of days while Mike was working on putting a new tile floor in our place.  I took a couple cute photos of the baby to send to dada, who was missing his baby boy...

Hi Dada!

Peek-a-boo!

A few other recent shots from when the whole family was there to eat at Grandma Joyce's:

Mmmm...

What a treat!  Even Mike and Bret there...

Here are some before and during shots of Mike's hard work at the house:

time for something new!

bye-bye, ugly tile

lots of work

All gone!

Now for something new... our "wood" tile floors.  It will look so good!

I'm so glad I have a handy husband who knows how to do everything 😊 Thanks for making our home more beautiful...

The Tarantula Run

Some beautiful scenery from my latest trail run:

And then... much to my surprise... this guy crossed my path!!

I've never seen one out in the wild before.  Pretty cool!

So cool!!  I named the run the tarantula run on my Strava app :)

Precious Moments with the Baby Boy

I used to think having a boy would not be as fun as a girl because you can't dress them up all cute and do their hair.  I was wrong.  Keenan has some ADORABLE outfits and it is fun to shop for him and see him wear the cute little outfits.
We are loving every moment with him, soaking it all up...

His "eat, Sleep, Play, Poop" outfit

cutie baby

Always a fun time hiking!

All smiles

Look at the cute football bum!

Hahaha, look at these baby bursts of energy!!  Too funny...
Also, Keenan has no problem crawling all over the place now. He's a very fast learner.

I also have a cute video of McKel that her teacher sent.  Their class learned a few dance moves:

Soccer with The Triplets

What a wonderful surprise to arrive at McKel's soccer game to find some familiar faces there.  McKel's team turned out to be playing Parker and George's team!  So it was fun to get to see Kelly and the boys there.
Kelly was extremely impressed with McKel's soccer skills.  He kept saying how he had no idea McKel was such an athlete.  He said that Parker and George usually just run around in any direction and put cones on their head, haha.
Yes, it is fun having an athlete in the family.  She gets it from her dad.  What fun to see these good looking boys though at the game...

McKel is ready to score some goals!

Avril enjoyed playing with Keeney during the game

The Screamer

Keeney's latest thing is that he LOVES to be loud and scream.  He gets so excited and can't stand to hold in his boisterousness.  We watch the girls at their gymnastics class and get a lot of looks due to Keenan's exuberant screams 😊

Bear Lake Glamping

I got the idea to head up to Bear Lake for a "camping" trip, since we hadn't been camping all summer and it would be too cold soon to get to go at all.  We were already up in Logan for Brittney's wedding, so why not?  The idea came from all places, a food blog that I follow.  I heard about it from the blog I get recipes from and she talked it up so much that I couldn't resist.
It turned out to be quite possibly the best family vacation I've ever had.  It was soooo much fun!!  It was at Conestoga Ranch and it is called "glamping".  Basically it is camping but not roughing it so much.  We got to stay in a covered wagon with beds and there were showers and playgrounds and a little store and a beautiful view not too far from the lake.  The best part was that everyone came - even Bret and Uncle Jared.
I also got some of the most adorable photos of our fun time there!

Keenan was so happy to get to go on his first camping trip.  Here he is checking out mom and dad's bed in the wagon

So comfy!

the girls LOVED it there!

All the kids getting a good look at our sleeping quarters

Bret and Jared each got to take a bunk

Pure joy!

lots of smiles and laughter

So sweet

Next we ordered pizza from the restaurant and roasted some dogs... we had the fire pit all to ourselves, which was so nice 😊

Everyone cooking something by the fire

Keenan loved all the open space to roam around outside!

So so happy to be outside

😊

I really think we have the cutest baby on the planet...

And he is very loved 💗

No smile quite like Keeney's.  Brings my heart happiness

Goofy baby

Such a happy baby!

Next we pulled out our rented Razor and Bret pulled out his 4 wheeler and we explored the trails around us.  It was so much fun.  And so bumpy!

Bret was nice enough to get us a trailer to carry our toys

Let's do this!

Dreaming about a lot for a Bear Lake cabin... sigh...

So glad we were able to do our glamping weekend.  Many fun memories.  We should do it every year!
