August in Utah

This little girl was going to Utah....so we just HAD to go see her! What a happy smiley baby who let us drag her around to every store we could possibly imagine!!

Why go anywhere else when this is in grandpa's backyard?? The kids had soo much fun sliding & climbing & playing. I couldn't pass it up...but was surprised how FAST you'd get going down it!

We don't get to see our Arizona cousins very often, so Chase loved playing with them! We have so many boy cousins that Chase always has a buddy! Chase loves his grandpa too...I just thought this was an adorable picture!

Chase loved holding Baby Rylee. She was fought over a lot actually...everyone wanted their turn at kissing those chubby little cheeks!!!

Ahh...grandma's house where ice cream flows like water...I really can't believe how many times a day those cousins had ice cream! Yes even for breakfast! These cute guys are only a few months apart, and too bad they don't live closer to eachother cuz they really get along great! After a few weeks from being home Brenner asked his mommy if his new friend Chase was going to be at his preschool. Too bad Nevada & Arizona are so darn far away :(

I could easily pretend she's mine :)

Sorry I tried to rotate...this was a little hike we did one day that was perfect for little kids. Too bad Chase was so dang ornery that day....too much playing-too little sleep :)

After an extra long weekend with mommy, Chase & daddy had their own father/son time up at the cabin. Every night Chase races outside when it starts to get dark to wish on the first star. He without fail wishes every night that he can go camping & fishing. So Chad being the great daddy he is, (and who wouldn't want to make a sweet little boys dreams & wishes come true?) took Chase up to the cabin. I'm so glad they atleast caught something...but they ended up with some pretty nice fish.

Summer has been fast & furious and needless to say: OVER. I actually really love fall so here's to perfect fall weather & pumpkin treats!!!
