More Hiking

This summer we made a goal to go hiking once a week with friends.  We just about accomplished that goal and we had so much fun doing it!  Okay, Reed will never enjoy hiking but he learned that complaining about it didn't change anything in the end.  I mastered the technique of a double rider (MJ on my back, Corbin in the front).

Jamie, me, Katie

Allie was able to come with us too when she was visiting

Kevin went hiking with us on a couple Saturdays as well.

Taryn always manages to get completely covered in dirt.  I love it.

More Summer

 Coolest bike gang in the neighborhood.  I felt like I was watching the Sandlot.

Parks

Cousin time

Ty giving Reed a pep talk before an epic "bubble battle" with Colton

Reed went to Cub Scout Day camp

I love their creativity!

On our way to get family pictures with cousins and Grandma, we pulled MJ out of her seat to find her covered head to foot in her own crap.  Nice.

Cute cousins: Bridger and Taryn

Apparently Reed was a little too hot to be wearing a shirt any longer (hehe)

Thanksgiving Point's Farm Country

Cousins, Jett and Lincoln (and Nona) came to visit

Lots of friend play (Lincoln and Melody)

MJ started getting into EVERYTHING

These brothers are starting to play together (the "D" is for "DAD")

Matching boys

I came outside to find Taryn holding a baby bird.  After she dropped it twice, I forced her to put it back in the grass where she found it.

Cousin buddies: Carson and Corbin (and their black baby)

MJ turned 1!

I love these two.  They're such buddies,

Kevin tried to teach Corbin how to ride a two-wheeler.  He was able to do it for a little while but shortly after, he broke his collar bone and preferred the balance bike again.
