Utah Trip

Like we do pretty much every summer, our family took a vacation to good old Utah. We had a blast playing family games, shopping, catching up with old friends the Lovelace's, swimming, visiting family, watching Brendan play volleyball, and of course our family tradition of checking out BYU. Here are some of the highlights:



Jake's first time bowling...didn't care too much for it



Aubrey thoroughly enjoying herself







Ashley and I



Temple Open House



Loved the slides



Soooo... cute!



Jake with Grandpa Campbell



Believe it or not, this did not end well.



Classic Jake face...check out that hair



Seven Peaks in Provo

Jake is in the OLYMPICS!

So a couple of weeks ago Jake had an "Olympics" at his therapy center (ICEC). He won the gold medal for gymnastics...of course...and a silver in volleyball, and the bronze in crawling.


So proud of himself


He made that shirt all by himself

Yeah for Summer!!!!

Jake's 2nd Birthday

Jake's birthday fell on Father's Day this year but we celebrated it on Saturday with my family. Jake had a blast eating cake and opening up all his cool presents.



Birthday Boy!



Not as exciting as last year, but hey

It's my party...and I'll cry if I want to (he ran out of cake)

Just For Fun...

I was going through some old photos the other day of my siblings and I when we were little...I love doing that for some reason, and these were some of my favorites:


Braden with baby Chelsey


Little bros Brendan and Braden--love the classic wave


little sis Chelsey (around age 4-Catalina Island)


Me (around age 3)


Brittany, Ashley, and baby Brad


Brittany, Brad, Ashley, Brendan


Me and Ashley...I wouldn't let her suck her thumb so that's why I am grabbing her hand, and that's also why she's not too happy about it.

"Mini Me"

Everyone is always telling me how much Jake looks like my little brother Braden, and I never really realized how much it was true until I was going through some old pics of Braden the other day and found these...see for yourself the resemblance.
