Jack's Photo Shoot

Jack had a photo shoot back in June and I got the pictures a couple days ago and just had to share a couple of the pics! They were taken by Ana Yacubic, who actually offered her photography skills at a ward service auction and I ended up winning the bid! She did a great job!

Aunt Kailee

Jack's Aunt Kailee came to visit us for two weeks!

This post is pictures of the great stuff we did while she was here.

We took her to her first MLB Game. The Angels Won!Dan's Uncle and Aunt took us out to Medieval Times for dinner! You eat a Medieval style dinner (a.k.a no utinsels) and watch jousting, sword fighting, and other Medieval entertainment.


This was our knight that we were cheering for during the tournament. It was pretty cool when our knight won!

Kailee is 16 and had never been to Disneyland so we decided to get 3 day passes. We had fun getting pics with characters!

Dan was a little too tall for most of the Toon Town exploration.

Jack found ways to stay entertained while standing in line.

Jack had lots of fun on the rides, however I think that the Dumbo ride was his favorite. He smiled during the whole ride!We watched Disneyland fireworks one night and then the next night we watched California Adventures new show 'World of Color'. It was so amazing! The show is done all with water and lights, it is amazing. I almost hesitate posting this clip because it really does it no justice.

On the last day, last ride, at Disneyland we decided to take the ferry around Tom Sawyer's Island. After boarding the ferry the captain came up to us and asked if we wanted to ride the captains cabin! It was just us and the captain chilling at the top of the ferry! We got the ring the bell and blow the loud whistle! What a great finale for our Disneyland experience :)

The last night Kailee was here we went and had a bonfire at the beach and watched the sunset. Jack had his first hot dog and smore, and loved it!

Kailee flew out Saturday, we are going to miss her!

Visit to Utah

We decided to go to good old Utah to visit family! We went with Dan's family to Mirror Lake in the Uinta's. It was so beautiful! We took the canoe out and did some fishing. Jack had fun exploring with Oma.
We had a great time at the Tracy Aviary in Salt Lake. Jack loves birds right now so it was very appropriate. Jack and Opa. Jack and cute Addie are 2 1/2 months apart. He really had a fun time with all of his cousins!Uncle Travis and Dan put on a firework show for us. Jack wasn't so sure about it. He kept doing this nervous laugh that seemed to say, " This is making me nervous, but I am going to try to be happy about it".
Jack was amazed with all of the fun animals around Grandma and Grandpa's house!

We went with my family to see the Fremont Indian State Park. It was really cool to see real indian artifacts and hieroglyphics. Here we are in a duplicated pit house.

Jack liked to play the piano with Grandma.

My family wanted to have a early celebration for my birthday so we had cake and opened presents! Since they didn't have candles to say 24, I chose to be 18! I like that Dan is blowing out the candles with me.

Jack is always so good on the 9 hour trip. We had a great time in Utah, however we are excited to be home again!
