Homecoming

After AZ we headed to Utah to meet up with Nathan and some of my family for BYU's Homecoming, like we do every year.

We stayed at John and Jenilyn's gorgeous new home, thanks guys!

At the parade- it was, of course, so cold that weekend

We sat with these two cute boys at the game

Sunday afternoon we headed up to the mountains for a little bit with my parents

Monday we were able to spend some time with Jenilyn and the kids, obviously everyone was a little worn out

AZ

Luke and I went to AZ to stay with Jordan while my parents went to Utah

He was mesmerized by the headphones

We went to my friend Aleasha's house, where her parents have put in their own splash pad! It was awesome! And Luke asked about playing with Caleb everyday we were there- we wish we lived closer!

Watching conference (this lasted for 30 seconds)

We kept ourselves plenty busy by catching up with friends and LOTS of trips to Last Chance!

Best buds

These boys just love hanging out on the couch together

Just being cute

Hair cut

One afternoon I snapped this picture of Luke... and we knew it was time for a real haircut!

He wasn't too happy about it though

I couldn't believe how much more grown up it made him!

Lake Powell

Almost my whole family went to Lake Powell over Labor Day Weekend, and needless to say it was amazing and an unforgettable trip!

First off, a huge thank you to Anne who came all the way to Denver to watch Luke while we went on this trip! We don't know what we would've done without her and Luke had such a blast! We never had to worry about him (even when he locked himself in his room on the first night we were gone and she ended up having to call our home teacher to get him out!)

I only took a few pics and I'm sure most of you have seen the good ones on everyone else's blogs. But here are a few:

The 'blob', there is a video of this floating around somewhere, we wandered up to this spot one afternoon. Hilarious.

The view from where we slept on top of the houseboat (how could you not love this place?)

On our way home with Ashlee and Jeff we stopped at the 4 corners, it was not quite as exciting as we were hoping, to say the least :)

Free entertainment

I've realized that Luke entertains me all day long. Here is a little sampling of how...

"Dress like a cow" day at Chick-fil-a. Some of you may know I'd do just about anything to get some free food there! (Linds- would Brandon consider him to be a healthy calf? ;) )

I've caught him in so many hilarious situations lately...

Now this is one of my fav pics at the moment! (And no, he doesn't just watch TV all day long, he probably would love to though if his Dad watched it like this with him all the time.)
