We had a week's worth of fun with our Staycation! We started off with the McEuen family reunion on June 27. June 28th we went to the zoo. On July 4th we went to Eccles Dinosaur Park in Ogden, UT then on Sunday, July 5th we went for a walk on the Provo River parkway ... watch out for west nile virus.

Sorry about some of the duplicate photos. Enjoy!

Lydia's 5th Birthday!

We celebrated Lydia's birthday this week. Lydia was born on Tuesday, June 22nd in Orem, Ut. She was mine and Ian's first child. It's hard to imagine she's 5 and going to start kindergarten this fall. WOW!

We had a family party for her on Sunday and a friend party on Thursday.

She got a bike and some Totoro toys. Both were fun days!

The top photos are the family party and the bottom ones are the friend party.

The very bottom ones are some I found of Lydia as a baby and younger times.

Devon's Memorial Day Hike

Here are some photos from our annual Devon's Memorial Day Hike. We hike to the top of the "Y" on the mountain. This year we had our family, Geraden, Kane, Jenni's Family, Seth's Family and Kelly & TJ. The babies stayed with my mom.

It was a great turn out. The weather was pretty close to perfect. I got a sunburn, but that is totally my fault. My calves completely KILL! I went very slow. Ian probably waited an hour for me at the top and he carried Lydia up on his shoulders nearly the entire way! We both walked down together.

It was a good day.

Here's Ian and Lydia on a rock. I was super nervous during this photo:

I think this photo of Lydia is too cute!



Here's on of Lydia sitting at the very tippy-top of the 'Y':


Here's a photo of Utah Valley looking North. If you look really, really close you can see my house. (okay, not really)


Here's on of Jenni and me. I look like a jiggly-puff. I'm workin' on it, I'm workin' on it.

Ian and the girls at the entrance to the trail.

Feces Face

Yes, this is Duncan and yes, that is poopie on his face.







Duncan pulled of his diaper (totally my fault, I should have put him in a onesie) and smooshed his poopie diapee with his face.

Kudos for Ian for taking the photos and cleaning up the aftermath.

Being a parent is awesome!

My Tulips!

Here are some photos of the kids in front of the 'mystery' tulips and daffodils I planted last fall. I love the orange... what a nice surprise!
