Still catching up...

And we're almost there...just need to stop taking new pictures!
Here's two posts in one...

Father's Day

I showed you some pictures of Audrey that I took Father's Day. 

Here's some pictures of the kids with their Daddy that were taken on Father's Day. 

Takin' turns on the slide...

 Audrey

 Nathan

 Love this picture!

 Yes, she's saying Cheese.....

 We sure do love Daddy at our house!

West Fest Parade
West Fest was held at the end of June. We love being able to walk up to the corner from our house and watch the parade each year. Here's some pictures of the fun.
Waiting for the parade to start...

Yay! It's begun...

We love to see the policemen...

Daddy was there too...

There's the firetruck!

Nathan actually got to sit in this firetruck the night before when we went over to West Fest. He loves the firetrucks.

A little side note. I did the West Fest 5k earlier in the morning. Came in at 50:29 minutes. I that's about 5 minutes quicker then the one I did 4 weeks earlier! Also walked to and from the walk since it started just down the street in front of the West Valley Fitness center. 
Been working on being healthier this year and one of my goals was to do a few 5k's. I'm also doing Weight Watchers at work and am down 22 lbs so far. WooHoo!! It sure feels good getting healthy!!

Fun stuff....

Just a random bunch of pics of some stuff that we've done and had going on lately...
and still trying to get caught up.

Here's Audrey and Grandma Johnson looking through some quilting books. 

 I was working on an afghan for one of my friends and Audrey decided to help me out. She likes to hold onto the hook and "help".

 We went to the drive-in to watch Toy Story 3. The kids loved it and had a lot of fun. Audrey's showing you the little movie screen, we watched Toy Story 2 while waiting for the movie to begin.

Nathan finished playing soccer for the summer. I thought it was really neat that they gave the kids medals, they're really nice ones too! He only missed one game due to being sick and played in each of the others including one that was played while raining and was super cold.

 

My Girl...

I decided that since I did an all Nathan post, that I should do an all Audrey post. She's a little more helpful when I try to take pictures, but only a little. These were taken at the park on Father's Day (I know, it's Father's Day and I'm taking pics of my kids. Just can't help myself).

Here's my girl...

She has so much fun when we go to the park. She especially loves the big twisty slide and the swings.

Boy oh Boy!!

A couple weeks ago, before Nathan had his hair cut, he decided to see what it'd be like with a mohawk. So he gave himself one, straight out of the bath before it dried. The first one shows it pretty good.

Here are the many faces of Nathan...what a boy!

He sure is a nut! These are the kind of pictures I get these days of him...if he'll let me get any. Can't get him to give me a straight face for nothing.

OK, I'll do it...

I figure it's probably time for an update and I've got some catching up to do seeing as how it was a month ago since the last post. I won't be overloading you all at once, so keep an eye out.

The weekend of Audrey's birthday, we also had family in town to help us with putting a new roof on our house. (More info on that to come.) My brother Evon and his family came to help out and we had a GREAT weekend with them. On Sunday, before church, we decided to head down to temple square for a little bit. Here's a little of our time down there. We also went on a tour of the Conference Center and we were able to go all the way to the rooftop, which was really cool and beautiful.

The beautiful temple (please ignore the big crane in the background.)

Daddy and Audrey, up on the Conference Center roof.

Nathan looking out over to the temple. And of course you can't go visit the temple without your Bumblebee Transformer. Nathan didn't want to cooperate with the picture taking, so I didn't get many with him.

Nathan and Audrey by the fountain. I wanted to get a good one with both of them looking at me...but no such luck. Oh well, still cute!

My brother and his family...

and our family...

Here's Nathan with his cousins. They are his "best friends".

And with his Aunt Angela, she's his "buddy".

And lastly...some of the pretty flowers we saw on our visit.
