Holy Hot!!!

That's what you get when you combine a wedding with the hottest day of the year. The south had me sweating bullets down my face- something I had never felt before without some kind of physical work-out.

Even my nephew Seth was found chugging one of the last bottled water in desperation to cool off.

Liam spent time with his two cousins.

He brought his chubbs to the wedding too.

Family Vacation 2006

In picture: Care Bear, Mama Bear, Sasha, Big Mama, and Superman.

This was my favorite part of the trip. I insisted that we keep re-shooting until the lighting was perfect.

If you look closely, you can see Liam riding the top of that gyser.

Of all the green pastures, glistening and flowing rivers, rocky tops, and roaring, towering falls, Carrie' s beautiful eyes were my favorite attraction in Yellowstone.

Because we focused most of our efforts on keeping Liam from those goring buffalo, the Sun God had a chance to sneak up behind us and slap a big faceburn on this boy.

Summer Times (An Update)

Summer is our favorite time of the year. And why wouldn't it be? The weather's great, there's much to do, and new happenings and exciting news occur every week (at least at our house it does). Here are some pictures and updates of our summer happenings thus far.

Tanner, Liam, and I spent some time hiking in Park City. We had a great time seeing all our family at the reunion my grandparents threw. Not pictured are my blistery, dirty feet that happened as a result of hiking the woods in flip flops. Note: bring shoes on every trip.

My sister Mary and her fiance Rob decide to tie the knot (yeah!!). Here they are standing by the lot they plan to buy for their new house. They get married July 28th.

Not so happy Liam gets blessed. It was snowing that day-Yeeesh!

Tanner's Dad retires this year after 30+ years of work and service with the United States Forest Service. We love you Dad!

My brother Adam and his family start Law school. Their son Michael was also born this summer!

William Samuel Grimshaw (My twin sister's kid) is born June 4th. Now Liam has two cousins that are only a couple of months older and younger than him. Dani, who is 2, loves to check on her younger brother. "He's still sleeping," she says.

July 4th 1969- I mean 2006. Liam and Hana refuse to be with the norm as they sport their groovy looks.

Not really a summer picture, but cute nonetheless.

All the more to enjoy: Liam before & after

Liam two months ago versus Liam today: What a chunk! When it comes to his eats, he doesn't mess around. Liam loves nursing time as you can well see. He now weighs in around 13 lbs! That's almost twice his newborn weight. I pumped a bottle the other day and stuck it in the fridge. The next day I took the bottle out and noticed something... a nice one inch thick layer of cream sitting on top! Hey, we don't mind, it's all the more Liam to enjoy.

Mixed Emotions

A day in the life of a kid can be full of many different emotions. Here are a few we so happened to catch on camera. Enjoy!
