I think this boy is loved...

Family Time

Nat, Eric, Abbie and Daniel came to Utah to bring Daniel back to school after his mission.  We also had Brad, Melissa and Matt come to bring Matt to school.  It was so fun being able to spend time with so many family members this summer.  We spent plenty of time eating and plenty of time laughing.

We had lunch at Tucano's the day before everyone left.  Bennett loved spending time with everyone.

Nat, Eric, Unknown Friend, Daniel, Jenny and Abbie

Abbie stayed with us so Bennett got really close to her.  Here are some clapping shots.

YAY!

BEST CLAPPER EVER!!!!  He's a genius!

I loved this picture.  So cute!

We had so much fun with everyone.  We wish we could all live closer.  Thanks for sharing some of your vacation time with us!!!

Stairs

Debbie and I were busy working around the house preparing for family to visit when I ran upstairs to put something away.  Debbie was already upstairs and I thought "Bennett doesn't even look at the stairs while he is playing downstairs, so I should be good to go up and come right back down."  Well, Debbie and I started talking in the hall and she looked over at the stairs and Bennett was halfway up the stairs!  We were both a little terrified and proud of our little guy.  He is growing so fast!

He ended up making it all the way up!  What a little stud!

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

In the beginning of August Debbie and I invited Dad and Bonnie to see "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" at the Sundance Resort.  We took Eliah and Meili with us and left Bennett for the first time since his birth!  Thanks to Jeremy and Evelyn for watching him.

The group of us preparing for the show.

Ya and Mei... so excited!!! 

The set.

The show was amazing!  The acting, dancing and singing were awesome and we had a great time with everyone!  Bennett was a little stinker while we were gone but it was great for us to get away and spend some time together.  Thanks all for the fun night!!!

Water Boy

This boy would spend all day in the water if he could

Thanks to Richard and Susan for a wonderful family party at their awesome house!  Bennett loved it!

Splash Pad at the Riverwoods.  Bennett was in heaven!

Water coming out of the ground?  Who would have thought!

His cousins were also there which made it even more fun.
