Fishing

Morgan and our neighbor Brandon love to go fishing together. They have gone so much with each other, but this time they actually came home with some fish. Good job boys!

Jonathan loved seeing his Aunt Julie, Uncle Curt, and his new cousin Claire, but he was really happy to be home to see his dad. I had to take of his shirt, because his Uncle Gordon had given him some of those teething crackers and he was a mess.

My new niece Claire Martin. She is a darling little baby girl. She smiles and sleeps great.

A couple more pictures of Jonathan being as cute as ever.

This is how Jonathan watches TV. I find him lying like this often either watching TV or just talking to himself. It is way too cute.

Here he is getting ready to go swimming!!

My little handsome boy!

Island Park

We were able to spend a couple days at our friends cabin in Island Park. It was a blast and absolutely beautiful. The mosquitoes were horrible, but after a little bit we just learned to ignore them.

Here we are with our friends; Brandon, Jenn, Alexis, and Peyton. And yes the girls are twins and so darling.

Yellowstone

In front of the sign just outside of West Yellowstone. We spent one day in Yellowstone. Most of the day was actually pretty chilly. But it felt nice with all the walking we did.


Just a random cute picture of Jonathan.

Here we are in front of one of the beautiful hot spots at Yellowstone.

Morgan's incredibly huge fish! (He even kept it and ate it.)

Dad and Jonathan on a hike to the river.

We took a little break on our drive up to Island Park and let Jonathan play in the front seat for a minute. He loved pretending to drive.

Just For Fun

I was changing Jonathan one day and didn't take his shirt all the way off. I turned away for a second and this is what I turned back to. He just sat there grinning at me with his shirt halfway covering his face.

Jonathan doesn't really get the idea of a jumper seat, but he really likes looking at us upside down in it.

A little surprise daddy brought home. He loved it. He sat there forever grinning and looking at his new motorcycle.

Reading is exhausting!

Just For Fun, cont...

Jonathan loves to hold his own books. He is getting pretty good at it actually.

This was taken at our ward camp out; Jonathan's first time camping. He was a champ!

Jonathan just chilling in his high chair. He loves to play in his high chair while I clean my kitchen. Now he even is starting to eat in his high chair, since we are getting to experiment a little more with foods.

This is the exact facial expression Jonathan wears while he sleeps the majority of the time. It is one of my favorite pictures.

I love this sad little face. He is a doll.

Happy Father's Day, Morgan!

Since this was Morgan's first Father's Day, I tried to make it extra special. So I not only made him a delicious dinner, but I also had his favorite suit pants altered (since he is not the same weight as he was 5 or 6 years ago). Anyway, I think I did a pretty good job on his first Father's Day.

Doesn't that look good? Yummy!!

Mission Reunions!

I love Morgan's mission reunions. I love thinking about those 2 years of his life and all the neat adventures that he has had. Also, he has some wonderful mission companions and mission presidents that I love to visit with. This is Morgan's first mission president and his wife. They are wonderful.

A Weekend at the Cabin

We had another fun weekend at my parents cabin. I don't think I will every get sick of spending time up there. When Morgan and I go up we usually spend our time hiking, fishing, sitting at the lake, reading a book together, or catching up on some much needed rest. Regardless of what we do, we always have a blast. This last time was Jonathan's first time up at the cabin and we couldn't have had more fun with him up there.

Mother's Day!!

Okay, I am going to brag a little about my Mother's Day gift and my incredibly tolerable husband. This is a picture of my beautiful Mother's Day gift. Back in November we were given a super nice table from Morgan's sister and brother-in-law, but it didn't fit in our house. So I decided that I really wanted to redo the table and make it into a leaf table. Well, Morgan thought I was crazy, but did it for me anyway and now I have an absolutely beautiful table in my house. Thank you Morgan!!
