Bear Lake

After the wedding, we headed up to Bear Lake to spend the weekend with my family at the cabin.  They've been installing new windows and painting the cabin, so we worked a lot but we also played and had fun :)

We played a game where Jaxson would throw the ball down to Grandpa Robert, then he would throw it back up :)

On Sunday we drove and hiked to a lake, it was beautiful!  Somehow while we were admiring the beauty around us, Jaxson's pants came off, then his diaper...

 



Family Pictures

At Tom and Laura's reception, Tyson's Aunt GayLynn had a very nice camera and was sweet enough to take some pictures of us.

 

 

 

 

Aunt Kenna called this Jaxson's GQ pose :) 

Tom and Laura's Wedding

Tom and Laura were married on August 14 in the Salt Lake Temple.  The wedding dinner was held the evening before the wedding at the Lake Point chapel.  While Tyson and I were in the sealing, Kenna watched Jaxson.  The reception was held in Lake Point in a neighbor's backyard, it was all very beautiful and so much fun :).

Visit to Utah

In August, Tyson had about 2 weeks in between his internship ending and school starting.  So we drove to Utah :).  We had fun being with family and the main reason we went was Tom and Laura's wedding :).

Kamo wants a bite :) 

Learning how to crawl up and down a step  

Jaxson had a tough decision to make between carrying around Teddy and the marker-problem solved

While in Utah, we attended the sealing of Tyson's friends from High School, Chandler and Allie Durant.  While in the temple, we found out that Tyson's old roommate, Ron Dale, was getting married that same day and time.  We found out when the reception was and were able to attend :).



 Ron and Rosario's reception.  Ruffles and necklaces are just asking for trouble with Jaxson :).

 

Jaxson and Aunt Kenna! 

 

Grandpa and Grandma Cook got Jaxson two flap books, he loves them!

 



 While we were there, we were able to celebrate Grandpa's 50th birthday!

 

 I can't say we weren't encouraging the poor kid to eat the outside of the cantaloupe :)
