Birthday Adventure

This week was my birthday! We celebrated today by going on a

birthday adventure to Mount St. Helens. While at the Mountain
we watched a couple videos on how the volcano had exploded in 1980 and how the explosion changed the land scape. It was pretty interesting. We also went on a hike along the ridge, the views were beautiful. Jared and Spencer went in a pretend helicopter at the visitors center.

About a week ago Spencer started crawling and he also started standing up. He is getting very good at standing up and pulls himself up on everything. It is getting harder to keep an eye on him, he is such a fun busy boy.

Cub Scout Camp

This week Jared has been helping at Cub Scout Camp. Yesterday Spencer and I went along for Camp family night. We got to watch Jared teach the cub scouts how to build fires. He was very patient and did a great job teaching them. I was impressed. While we were up there another Mom took this adorable picture of Spencer. Spencer had a great time watching all the boys and eating watermelon. They had sliced watermelon and he grabed my piece away from me and ate it down all the way to the rind.

Vacation to Utah

Last week we went to Utah. We did many fun things while we were there. It was a busy tip and Spencer was a little trooper.

Here we are at the Morgan Family reunion. It was held at a park in Sandy and we had a lot of fun getting to know my Dad's family.

The Riverton pool had free swimming on the fourth of July so we took Spencer swimming. He really enjoyed the water, especially when he was with Daddy. We ended up going swimming twice.

We stayed with the Crizer family while we were in Utah. They are a family Jared met on his mission and he considers them a second family. We really enjoyed spending time with them.

The crizer's had a baby swing and Spencer had fun swinging.

We went to the zoo with the Crizer's. The giraffe behind us was born one week before Spencer! They have both grown a lot the last 7 months.

We also got to spend a lot of time with my family, including Aunt Susy and Aunt Melly. It was really nice to see them.

Other highlights of our trip included Kayla's baby blessing (BreAn's baby), visiting Brandon Johnson, and eating a lot of snow cones.

Fun in the Sun

On Saturday the weather was really nice so Jared Barbequed and we filled bowels full of water for Spencer to play in. He got soaked and had a great time. I made my own meat patties with ground turkey to barbeque. This was a first for me. I am learning to cook more things.

Here is a picture of Spencer just hanging out playing with his books.
