At the end of August, Justin's family headed down to St. George for one last summer get-a-way. It was fun! We got to spend time with Justin's Uncle Steve and Aunt Tara who live in Dammeron Valley.

Jackson is my little swimmer! He loves the water! Here he is taking a dip in the hotel pool. It was 108 degrees in St. George!

Justin and I went for a bike ride in Dammeron Valley. It is a beautiful place. And not nearly as hot as St. George.




Our family also bought a new car in August. It's a Hyundai Sante Fe and I'm completely in love with it!

Next up: The big announcement!

When I get this behind in blogging its tempting to just say "I'll just skip up to the present time". And I kind of want to do that because it would be soooooooo much easier! But after looking at some pictures from the past 5 months, I just have to blog about it! So here goes. I'm hoping to do a quick wrap up with just hitting the highlights.

AUGUST was a great month. We celebrated Justin's 29th Birthday, went to Yellowstone with my family and then a quick weekend trip to St. George with Justin's family. But the best part of August was finding out that me and Justin were expecting baby #2!

First up Yellowstone:

This year our annual Bear Lake trip was over the 4th of July. I was a little worried that I wouldn't enjoy the 4th if we weren't in Salt Lake to enjoy the fireworks show. But it turned out great. We were able to get in all the fireworks we wanted throughout the rest of July.

Bear Lake will always be one of my favorite places to camp in the summer. The Rendezvous State Park has a perfect beach for the kids to play, and shallow water so we parents don't have to worry excessively and you can have a campfire right on the beach! Here's some pics.
