Baby Owen
Just an update on Owen... He is growing like a weed! He was 14.8 lb and 24 in long at his 2 month appointment... yes he is a tank... We love him and he is such a good baby and was perfect on all the camping trips we went on this summer... He even sleeps through the night! He slept from 9pm to 8am the other night! I had to check and make sure he was still breathing a couple times! He is my angle baby!
The ends of summer...
Well summer is coming to an end... Brady goes back to work in 2 short weeks and Carson will be starting preschool again soon. It will be nice to have a routine back in our lives but I'm sad the time of summer vacationing is gone. This summer we did a lot of camping. First we went to Monte Cristo with some of Brady's family, we had lots of fun on the four wheelers and it was nice to be out of the heat and into the mountains.
Next we got go on one of my favorite summer vacations, Bear Lake! My family has a reunion every year. Its a great family tradition that I love. This year there were about 250 people there. Tons of cousins, second cousins, great uncles, and more. It's so much fun to be connected face to face at least once a year.
Owen was there too.
After Bear Lake Brady got to spend a couple days at scout camp, he was recently called in to the YM presidency. He had a good time but was tired when he came home and I was tired when he came home too... single parenting is hard.
After a few days of recovery we took another camping trip. This time it was just our little family and we went down to Zion National Park. It was tons of fun. The first day was a little hot and the boys were a little cranky but the second day was a lot more fun. We did most our hiking on the second day. It was a perfect day, there was cloud cover and we even got sprinkled on a little which kept us nice and cool. The boys were such troopers, we really hope they had a time they will remember. I think their favorite part was this little creek that ran right next to our camp ground... they got pretty dirty and wet but it did get over 100 so I didn't blame them much for practically trying to swim in it. We roasted marshmallows and Brady did a really good job on some dutch oven chicken. It was fun and we hope to do it again once the boys are older and we can go on the longer hikes.
