JDRF walk to cure!

This past weekend Lily and I participated in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's (JDRF) annual 'Walk to Cure' Diabetes. For those of you who don't know Lily has two cousins with juvenile diabetes. Her cousin Baylie from my side was diagnosed when she was 7 and Cole on Brocks side when he was 4. They have both been fortunate enough to go this long with out any problems and we hope and pray that they will continue to go on without any. We love them so much and hope that some day there will be a cure for diabetes.

Utah State Fair!

I was thinking that it would be fun to take Lily to the state fair. Not really knowing what it was going to be like, since it has been years since I attended it in elementary school. I just remembered the big slide and the animals. Although I felt out of place I think Lily liked it. Lily loves riding carousel!



There was a fun little farm country. Where the kids were able to be farmers and plant vegetables and collect eggs.





But the funniest part was the big slide. Lily loved it. And yes we were with the little girl screaming her head off. That is our niece Addie.

The Box Fort!

We had a few random boxes that we finally got around to unpacking. So one morning Brock decided that he should make a fort out of them so that Lily could play in them. Really I think that it was so that he could play in it.

See what I mean.



Lily really did like it.



It took her a few times of standing up for her to realize that didn't work.

The Zoo!

This is Lily and all of her cousin that went with her to the zoo.



I tried to get Lily to sit on the Rhino so that we could get a picture
but she refused.



Lily loved the Elephants!



We could not get her off of these tigers. I finally just had to let her throw a fit because there were some other kids that wanted a turn.



I am not sure what Grandma told her but she was super excited about it.

We suck at blogging!

To those of you who still check this: thanks for not giving up on us. We'll be better, we promise. I know that there shouldn't be excuses made, but we have moved, had a visit from our friends the Packer's and I have been working. I think that life is finally slowing down, so I hope to be better.

Lots has happened since our last post. Where to begin...
