Kim & Ken have a baby!!

Our cousins, Kim & Ken, have long awaited the joining of their dear baby "Katie" to their family. They adopted her in our area, so we were able to see them & meet the baby just days after she was born. It was such a sweet experience. They sure make a cute lil' family! Congrats you guys!!

I stole this picture from her blog ~ It was so cute cause you can tell it was an emotional day for them :)

Baby Bree in the "doll" stroller ~ So funny!

Bug Crazy!!

Addie is such a funny girl. One of her new favorite past-times is bug-collecting. She loves digging up slimy worms & tries to bring them into the house all the time. She's found all sorts of crazy bugs in our backyard lately. Some of which, I've never even seen before!

The master bug-catcher!

Not so keen on the Preying Mantis at first!

Our neighbor, Janae ~ showed her how to hold him

Found a cool Leaf Bug in our garage

Enjoying the garden harvest

Lots of fun veggies

My little helper ~ Addie

Check out our funky carrots ~ Addie found this one & I told David it was "our" special carrot ~ hehe

Mama & baby cucumber ~ funny, huh?

Uh oh, let these go a little long! Kenny & Addie had fun playing with them though.

Kenny looks like he's aiming his gun!

Flaming Gorge '09!!

This year's Flaming Gorge trip was so much fun! We had a bigger group than past years ~ (Jesse's family came for the 1st time, Denise brought her grand-daugther Jaya w/friend Stephanie & the Jayne's came along too ~Toria's grandparents). Once again, M&D spoiled us with an awesome menu ~ Can anyone else say they've had marinated pork tenderloin, twice-baked potatoes & garden fresh green beans on a campout!? Pretty awesome! We enjoyed hanging around the fire, dirt-biking, jet-skiing, swimming, playing in the sand, boating & lots more!! Thanks for arranging this every year Mom & Dad (and Denise & Terry)
(And thanks, Brooke ~ for letting me rip off some of your pictures)
