I was out with the kids tonight and Hallie and Sam were riding their bikes around while Jake was running around. Then after a bit Hallie said, “Daddy, look at Jake!” and I turn around and this is what I see!
FHE at the park
So we headed to the “new” park again today in search of fallen acorns and fall colored leaves. We all had a great time wondering the paths through the trees. Scroll down to see videos. Something worth mentioning – as we were leaving the park in our van we noticed an older couple walking down the sidewalk and thought it looked like President Uchtdorf and his wife. So we did a U-turn and looked again and saw that it was them! So we then did another U-turn and Alecia told me to pull over so we did and got to say hi to President Uchtdorf and his wife. He gave all the kids high fives. They were both very nice then went on their way (I did not take any pictures although I wanted to). 🙂
Boulder Dam Bridge Tour
While on our trip down to Nevada, we got up early on Saturday morning, waited in a bunch of lines, road a couple of buses, and got to see and walk on the new Boulder Dam bridge.
Playing basketball at The New Park
So there is a park we found nestled in the neighborhood near where we live along Bountiful Ridge that the kids call “the new park”. It has swings, tennis courts, a basketball court, volleyball courts and a lot of trails. Here are some pics of the boys playing ball there.
Lagoon – ’09
This was our first trip to Lagoon as a family. Actually, the first trip since Alecia and I have been married. Hallie and Sam really enjoyed it! The picture of them in the whale together was their first ride ever at Lagoon. They were both so excited. We got there around 1:00pm and left a little after 9:00pm and rode rides pretty much the whole time. We did go to Lagoona Beach for a bit. We went on the big Ferris Wheel as well, but Alecia about had a heart attack thinking all the kids were going to fall out. 🙂 Check out all the pics for some highlights of our visit.
Jake – 3.5 months
Here’s a couple of pics of Jake at three and a half months old.

Fence Demo
New little brother
Hallie has another little brother and Sam is now a big brother. They are both very excited about their new little brother. Jake seems to recognize their voices even though he still is not very responsive yet. It will be exciting to see how they all bond and get to know each other.
Coming home
Jake came home from the hospital on April 6th, about 3 days after he was born. His car seat about drowns him right now. He slept the whole way home.
