As many of you know, we are expecting our 4th boy in December. I thought this blinkie was appropriate, GO TEAM BLUE!
WARNING:
BE PREPARED FOR AN ONSLAUGHT OF PICTURES... Our family took our annual summer trip to visit family in Utah. It was a grand 3 weeks that were filled to the brim with fun activities. We took quite a few mini-vacations within a vacation. And despite some long car rides and a very cranky baby at times, we sure enjoyed our time with our families. So, to start out, we celebrated Corvin's 1st birthday. He got to celebrate with all his family and be messy with his desserts. Corvin is such a beautiful boy who is so full of personality. The best word I can think to describe him (and be nice about it) is BUSY. That boy is always busy doing something. He mostly likes to follow his older brothers around and do as they do. He is a happy little boy who gives the best smiles and makes everyone laugh. Happy Birthday Corvin!
Our first outing while in Utah was the Pettey's cabin at Fish Lake. We spent a few days down there, fishing, hiking, relaxing and playing with Scot's parents.
Poor Scot had to row the boat back to shore in a rain storm when they couldn't get it to start. Michael was a little upset at this point of the fishing trip.
The pirates were at Fish Lake and left their treasure. The boys had a blast following the clues and finding the treasure for themselves.
We took a little side trip to Capital Reef National Park. We enjoyed hiking around and having some lunch. The Southern Utah landscape is sure amazing.

We went to the South Jordan museum and the boys discovered Morris Code. Corvin was so cute riding on an old rocking horse and the boys played turn of the century games.
We looked forward to our trip to Lake Powell all summer long. We enjoyed boating, skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, cliff jumping, splashing, sliding and being with family. However, we did not enjoy the crappy weather and we missed Corvin being there. Thanks to everyone who made it such a good trip.
Braxton and Michael were good little hikers. They hiked to an arch, to some Indian ruins, and of course all around our campsite.

Does anyone have a clue on this picture? I think it is so funny, but I have no idea what Michael is looking at and why he has such a weird uncle. Scot attempting a flip.
