Liberty Park

Awesome park in salt lake we recently discovered. Its HUGE and has lots to do

A little stream area runs through park of the park and Lyla loved splashing around in it

Trip to Idaho

Tuesday & Wednesday Lyla & I went up to Idaho with Jen, Brookie & Kaylee to visit the Barney girls. Brittney was visiting her family and giving Rhett a week of peace for last minute bar study so we had to sneak up and see her.

While waiting for Brittney to meet us at her house Lyla jumped into the pool, clothes and all. It was just too tempting on that hot summer day!

Lyla & Summer. I think they missed each other :)

Had to take a picture of the baby bumps. Brittney is 23 weeks & I'm 14.

Brittney's house that she grew up in. Good 'ol Shelley, ID. We got to take a little tour of the city before we left, it was a short one!

More pics to come...Brittney got some cute ones of the girls playing that I will post when I get them

Swimming with Kurts Fam

Kurt and the kids came down today to bring Lyla some hand-me-down toys and to go swimming at our apt complex

Shivering, but wanting to go in again. This girl LOVES to swim

Millcreek Canyon

Decided to take a Sunday afternoon and check out the canyon that is about 10 minutes from our house. We strolled around and threw rocks in the river

Throwing rocks with dad

Like Mother, Like Daughter

This was not even posed, Lyla LOVES to climb up on the dishwasher

Baby #2

Excited to announce the we will be welcoming baby #2 in January of 2012!

Already feeling like i'm getting bigger faster than with Lyla....

26th Birthday

I turned 26 this past weekend and to celebrate we started the day off by going to the Hogle zoo. The last time we were at this zoo was the day Josh proposed to me. It was a lot of fun to go back and this time have a little girl to watch get excited about the animals.

Baby Elephant, so cute

I love that you can see Lyla's little face in the reflection of the window with her amazed eyes looking up at the lemur

That evening we dropped Lyla off at Aunt Cindy's and went to Benihana's for dinner and then saw Larry Crowne at the theatre. It was a cute romantic comedy with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. We both really enjoyed it.

On our way home we picked up a piece of my favorite cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory in place of a birthday cake. It was a great birthday spent together as a family and I enjoyed being with Josh before he really hits the books for the last 2-week stretch before the bar.

Family Reunion

I am crazy and decided to take on the Roskelley Reunion this time. 48 out of 59 possible people attended. All of Ellis and Ardith's 7 children and their spouses, 19 Grandchildren (and spouses) and 10 great grandchildren. We missed Hans, Petra, Ross, Garrett & Jason (plus the spouses and children that go with them.) I would say it turned out pretty awesome and we all had a great time.

Everyone except Sarah & Richard who were MIA for the pic for some reason.

Day 1: Met @ park in Heber and had lunch & played water games after

We headed over to Heber Valley Camp after games. We played a game of volleyball while waiting for dinner.

Crew & Lyla were oblivious to the game going on and just wanted to dig in the sand while everyone played around them

Dinner then SMORES & funny family stories around the fire

Day 2: Bfast and headed off to do a challenge course

The zipline was the best part

Then we had lunch and rushed off to canoe and do paddle boats

That evening we checked out of camp and went to provo and had dinner in the park and had rubber ducky races down the creek next to BYU. Mine won :D

Day 3: Rested up, went to church, then met at Linda's for dinner

Played a mean game of Nertz

Ezra letting me know i'm too big now for the wagon...dangit

Great Grandchildren, minus Crew, and Eli snuck in there, who is just a grandchild

Played a trivia game for the older grandchildren about the fam and grandma

Day 4: Went to a really cool gymnastic place that has a ton of jumpin stuff and foam pits everywhere

Ened the reunion by going to Thanksgiving Point that evening for fireworks. The kids did sparklers while we waited

I absolutely loved the reunion and getting to spend time with everyone.
Can't wait for the next one!
