This weekend Rob called me outside to the garage and as I was walking out he said just so you know I had nothing to do with this. I thought oh no what could that mean. I come outside and Jack has found the flag from our bike trailer and set it up in the garage between cement pads, and is trying to "make it in the hole". As you can see he is quite proud of himself when he made the ball stop at the flag. Afterwards he asked me to call him Tiger Woods, and I am not kidding!
Here is an action shot.
My sister Nikki and her husband Matt bought my parents boat from them and we were able to go with them up to Pineview Reservoir to enjoy it this week. One night we stayed up in Eden so we were able to get on the lake early and enjoy some smooth water, it was fantastic! The initial shock of the water temperature makes you scream a bit but then you sort of get used to it. Jack loved being on the boat and loved playing in the water.

Here is Nikki driving the boat, I believe she is pulling Matt on the water ski. So much fun! Thanks Ashtons!
We had a great 4th of July weekend. Emily & Ryan stayed with us for the whole weekend and that was great fun. It was fun to have room for them to stay with us this time!:) We had a great day Friday with the family and we started it by heading up to Mueller Park Canyon. Two times in two days is pretty good for Jack and I. We hiked on the Elephant Rock trail and didn't come near the top but I think that we made it half way. It was beautiful and cool and we took some fun pictures as you can see below. Since I was 13 my family lived right next to Mueller Park and so I spent a fair amount of time there growing up but in the 3+ years that Rob and I have lived in Bountiful he has never been up, shame on me, so it was great for Rob to finally make it.
Bob & Shannon looking picture perfect!
Not such a bad picture of me.
Em on the hike, who looks this good hiking???
Back from our hike and ready to eat! Ryan is a great cook so we usually try to take advantage of him while he is in town. We decided to make something traditional, that wasn't hamburgers or hot dogs. We went with pulled pork and it was delicious thanks Ry!
We ended the night in Centerville watching the fireworks show. At first it seemed like a budge crunched show, but they came through and it was very enjoyable. Jack liked them at first but them he got a little scared and would hide behind Rob or I and peek around us to watch them. Thanks Christiansens for a great weekend. We did have everyone here, I just didn't get any pictures of it.
I grew up just next to Mueller Park Canyon and probably didn't spend as much time there as I should have, but I still went a fair amount and hiked and played around. We went up there with the kids and hike for a short while on the Elephant Rock trail and after a couple of quick falls by Jack we settled in and had a nice time. Here are the kids at the halfway point sitting on some tree roots eating a snack.
We got a fun picture of the light reflecting off of Ellie's binoculars.
Nikki and Annie Kate checking out some of the plants. We were trying to look for animals and we saw a beetle and we actually saw a snake!
Here are my two boys. Even though Jack has my blue eyes and blonde hair he is A LOT like his Daddy. Rob spends most of his day working on his computer and below if you look closely that is chocolate ice cream another one of Rob's favorites, and as a little boy Rob was obsessed w/firetrucks and firefighters, and honestly I didn't even pose this picture Jack just wears the hat around!
