Canyon Family Breakfast Labor Day 2008

Cousin Kim, Auntie Susan, Travis, Michelle, and Julia were all in town.

14 months old(ish)

Ian loves his buttons and switched. He will stand (with help) at the light switch forever. This car shot was one of his happiest days. The hazard lights, the blinkers, the radio, cruise control....pure bliss but major meltdown when leaving.
He is fully walking and bumping himself. He wears big boy shoes. He can tell you what a doggy, cow and kitty say. He says "all done", "byebye" and a few others. He is cutting more teeth soon to appear. He is growing up super fast!

Video with Music...first attempt

Playing around with imovie....
Ian has taken many free step or are they leaps. He dives for objects, he is pretty unstable but getting the hang of walking really fast. No major injuries....just all over the place and still into everything reachable. Remotes and phones are the top pick "toys". Not surprising.

Tomatoes and New Floors

We have been back at work...floors are in. Tomorrow we will grout the tile but we are DONE....

Garden Helper

Tomatoes are happening...Ian likes to help water, pick things and put things in his mouth.

Hardwood is Finished

Andy,Tommy and Brian worked hard to get this done in 2 days....Tommy was the biggest help ever!

BLake with Evans Fam

Evans family came to the Lake...The fathers rode their bikes around the lake, all of us fished and boated a little and the moms and children rode the bike path and hung at the beach. Good times.

LASAGNA

Yummy mess maker....

Obama and Aunt Susan

Aunt Susan came to Logan for a couple nights. We went to campus to watch Obama at the DNC...what a speech that was! It was great to see her....

Grand Targhee Music Fest/ Victor ID Cabin

We went to the Thorkildsons cabin in Victor Idaho for a few days. The Grand Targhee bluegrass fest was in full swing and we attended on Saturday. We had a great time, relaxing at the cabin, visiting Jackson, biking, eating and visiting with the Evans clan....

Princess Maya

The first beer in the awesome mug

Emmit Nershi Band (Leftover Cheese) was the highlight

Missing Maya

Boating and The Lake

We took Ian out for a longer fishing day. He did great. Roaming around the cabin and keeping his balance well. Kyle, Kelli, and Jack came for the weekend. Again I didn't take pics of the group but we had a great time.

First Tent Camping

Leslie, Maya, Elliott, Sarah, Ava, new baby, Ian and I went camping in Logan canyon for one night only. It has become a tradition (2nd annual) and I hope it continues. I failed to take great pictures...battery died but we had a great time....mommies and babies.

Swimming Time

Way chill baby Elliott

Julien, Ian and Julia had a great time playing in the hot tub. Several hours of entertainment for all.

Ian and Will...BFF

Ians First Birthday

Thanks to Michele and Julia for making the journey and helping out soooo much.

The cousins

Nanny and Poppa are the best ever. Thanks for all the help, Ian misses you already.

We loved having cousin Stephen, Jennifer and Julien here for a visit. We need to see them lots more.

Cake Extravaganza

Ian and Julien having a great time in the hot tub.

Boy time flies. Ian is walking around furniture, babbling lots, eating everything...we haven't met a food we don't like, he has 7 teeth and is wearing 12-18 month clothing. He is so much fun, usually in a great mood and loves to give hugs to about anyone or anything. He likes his bedtime of 8ish and wakes at 7ish.

We (Ian and Mommy) spent the week in SLC with family and friends. We had a great party and a great weekend.
