Friday September 21 Hiking Y Mountain

We decided to enjoy the nice fresh fall air by hiking Y mountain, now of course this was no easy feat especially when your packing a little one but the view and the peacefulness is totally worth it.

A little summer review

Lake Powell

So I have been really bad about taking pictures lately and so from our not so reason trip to Lake Powell here are a few pictures.

Gage and Papa Lyle had lots of fun playing in the sand, if I remember right there are pictures of Kate, Tucker and the other grandkids that are very similar. We love our Papa Lyle.

Here's some of them enjoying the yummy cake!

The Birthday Boy!! The Birthday Boy!!

We had a great time celebrating Gage and Monson's first birthday, we had it at my Mom and Dads house since they have the best set up for an event like this. As always there was plenty of good food including those yummy ribs that my Dad likes to make.

Gage enjoyed Kate and Millie helping him opening his presents, I think Millie was more excited about them then Gage. (Course he is only one.)

The best part of the evening was watching the two of them Gage and Monson eat there Big Cupcakes! Now I made them so Gage had been wanting these all day so when it was time there wasn't any messing around! I was hilarious he picked it right up it got all over the front of him I think he only took a few big bites and then just had fun squishing it all up. He then proceeded to try and get a hold of Monson's

Monson on the other had daintily stuck his finger in the frosting a few times and then he picked it up ever so nicely and ate it, he of course was messy but not nearly as messy as Gage!
