As I was loading pictures into the computer today, I realized how many fun things have gone on and didn't make the blog. Apparently we were so busy enjoying our friends, family and good times that it didn't leave enough time to share. :) Here are just a couple random samplings of what we've been up to for the last little while.
4th of July with the Eppersons.
Kellie did her traditional (and unsafe!) holiday dance. This year she had a husband to join in the fun! Now Joe can be the one to drive her to the ER the year that this finally goes awry. I'll have to post video of that at some later date when I have the time/energy. Posting video is a bit of a pain.
Lake Day -- Among what seemed like hundreds of youth activities over the summer, we had "Lake Day" ... a big favorite in our neighborhood. It's just a lot of teenagers, a few boats and an a fun time with people we love.
Brandon & Brittiny visited in August to celebrate Brooklyn's 1st birthday. We had a great time. Brooklyn was much more excited about receiving clothes than toys. She is all girly girl and we adore her!
We had the annual Oakeson Family & Friends & Friends & Friends .... Halloween Party again. Aaron was particularly proud of our truly authentic costumes this time around. Each year I just don't know how he'll top the previous one. We got them at "the actual Ninja store." Did you even know there was such a thing? Still looking for the pictures of these!
We got to spend some time with the fun Crumps, but it seems like most of the time we're together, something is on fire or blowing up! They were thoughtful enough to invite us over to see things blow up a couple of times in January -- New Years and the long awaited blowing up of the Gingerbread house! Video of this is coming soon ... to You Tube, I think. It was a pretty eventful evening. For those of you that know Adam, he and his friend Matt really enjoy blowing things up. There's a whole scientific method to it. Rachel's family made this GIANT Gingerbread house. And for about as long as it was sitting out, Adam was making plans on how to eventually blow it up. They make sure there's always something exciting happenin' in Herriman. Below, a picture of Rachel and me tolerating the boys' efforts at a homemade New Years fireworks extravaganza.
