Bath

Crew's first bath.

Timp

Over the weekend Adam and some of his siblings hiked to the top of Timp. Adam had never been to the summit--which is the most breath taking view. He is glad he hiked to the top but feels he doesn't need to do it again soon. However, he can now say he has done it--and it is worth doing.

Dinner--La Jolla Groves

We ate dinner at La Jolla Groves last night for my sister-in-law's birthday. It was delicious! I got the lemon roasted chicken and Adam got the beef tenderloin. Both were amazing. It has only been open for about 3 months and is located in Riverwoods (where Ann Taylor used to be). Leave your kids at home and enjoy and evening out. You will love it.

Island Park

Last weekend we went to Island Park. Adam and I agree that it may be one of our favorite places.

We stayed at a beautiful family cabin, fished, floated the river, four-wheeled, visited West Yellowstone, and relaxed.

Midway Cabin--Labor Day

Every year the Nelson Family goes to Midway over Labor Day Weekend for Swiss Days. It is by far my favorite city's celebration. Not only is it a relaxing weekend at the cabin it is also great shopping and food at Swiss days.

Nieces and Nephews

On Saturday we took Crew to his first BYU Football game. Monday we went to Park City and shopped. It was such a good getaway and Crew's first--of many--vacations to come. I feel so lucky to have a family that loves to spend time together.

As cute as can be

Time has gone by so fast. I no longer have an newborn I have a one month old! He is growing so quickly. I love watching him grow and look forward to each new development. Yet, at the same time I don't want to miss anything and wish he could stay to small and cuddly for forever. Crew is the most peaceful dear baby boy. I love being his mother. How did I get blessed with a perfect baby? Adam and I are so in love with him.
