Sienna is my sweet, loving, wild child. She is so quick to get into trouble!
This particular day, Parker accidentlly hit her with the back swing of his golf club. And if you know Parker, he doesn't do things half hearted, it was all out!

But luckily they are still friends and although there is still a small bruise, she's healing fine.

I was trying to get Kade down for a nap. I was careful to feed him in the living room with Sienna as to decrease her unsupervised time. But I guess that's not good enough because in the time it took me to sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, little star" she had accomplished much. She had got a pan from the cupboard and put it on the stove. Got the eggs from the fridge, climbed up on the counter, cracked the egg in the pan, without even breaking the yolk.

Maybe not my best parenting decision, but I decided to light the stove and let her cook her egg.

Scrambled of course. Who knows, maybe some day she'll become a world famous chef and I'll be thankful for these pictures. If not, I hope she learns how to cook a good healthy meal for her family.

This was supposed to be the year for boating in our household. But thing just didn't work out that way. We did finally get the boat fixed, and back to Lake Powell. It didn't turn out to be the best trip, but memorable none the less.

Just look how happy he is. This is the sole reason we own a boat!

Every boat needs a good flag man!

Kade loved munching on the watermelon!

But wasn't such a fan of the water that day.

And Nate, hopefully we gave him his wake boarding fix.

I know that I am way behind, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity to tell Nate how proud we are of him. Back in July, my brother Nate returned from serving a 2 year mission in the Phillipines. He did an amazing job and shared his testimony of Jesus Christ with so many people. He's a great example to my boys. We are so happy that he returned safe and sound.

We almost missed him at the airport. We were all waiting in the wrong terminal. How sad that would have been.

We finally got all set up in the right spot.

I have truly never seen my parents more excited.

Our complete family!


Love You Nate!
