What We Have Been Taking Pictures of!

This post isn't necessarily an update as a lot more has happened than this, but here is what we have been taking pictures of! Yes, Nater turned 1 the end of June. We did celebrate, but of course I forgot my camera! He had a little family party with his cousin that is a day younger than him and really enjoyed himself I'm sure! He is standing now and Savannah is helping in every way she can think of, including just plain encouragement!

And he is still tired from all the growing.

We went to the diesel races in Redding, CA a while ago also. My sister in law, Jana, watched the kids for us for the weekend and just the 2 of us went. It was so much fun. It took around 15 hours to get there pulling Rocky on a trailer and around 13 to get back. Redding was so so so hot. I don't think I've ever been to a place that was so hot all day long and be outside the whole time. Todd raced Rocky and it was good. He did well until Rocky wouldn't go back into 4WD, which equates to not being able to get traction off the line and having no shot at winning the race. At that point he was out. But it was a great road trip nonetheless.

Nate is also learning to walk with everyone being very much a part of the equation! Savannah and Nate are very good friends and they pretty much just follow each other around doing whatever the other one is doing. It has been so much fun to have them so close. We don't regret it a bit, in fact we wish our situation would allow to have the next 2 so close as well, but 2 years apart is where we are at from now on!


And we finally went boating for the first time this year. With the cold spring we had and then Todd trying to be an active member of the National Hot Rod Diesel Association, we just hadn't got time to go yet.

We took my sister's family and everyone had so much fun. It was easy going with some time on kneeboards, the tube, and the beach. We love Sand Hollow and are so lucky it is so close. Well 45 minutes close! Kate and Carter both got up on the kneeboards and loved it!

And the latest and greatest thing we did but only got pictures of on the way home was...The Annual Welch Family Vacation. Yeah, we just got this picture of a Dirt Devil on the way home! But it was a lot of fun in Bear Lake and Twin Falls catching up with Todd's family and doing a variety of fun activities!
