Birthdays, Yellowstone, et al.

Well, summer seems to be flying by and we're still just as busy as ever. We celebrated Mommy's birthday and Aunt Chelsea's birthday together at a "Burger Bash" in Tooele. My Aunt Valerie, who is the Food Editor for the Deseret News posted the event on her blog on the Deseret News website. For those interested in seeing me chomping down on the gigantic burgers I made for the event can read all about it by clicking this link:

We followed that up with a great trip to Yellowstone. We went with Grampa and Grandma Nash and we stayed in Jackson Hole. We made two trips into Yellowstone over the course of two days and had a lot of fun. Owen was very patient during the car trips and even tried to drive the car himself!



Here are some of the great pictures we took while on our trip:

We had a really great time and we were sad when it was time to come home and go back to work. It wasn't all that bad, though. Owen really missed his doggie Lily. She had to stay with Grampa and Grandma Higham while we were in Yellowstone. He would walk around the house with his hands raised when we would ask, "Where's Lily?" He would then walk around looking for her. He missed her so much he began making new friends in Yellowstone:

Once we got back it was time for more birthdays! On Wednesday, Mommy and Owen went down to SLC to not only pick up Lily but to also celebrate Grampa Higham's birthday. They had a big party in the park and Owen got to play with his cousins Ryan and Layla. But most of all he was reunited with Lily who has hardly left his side since she's been back!






So we're pretty much tuckered out. But we can't rest on our laurels for too long, next weekend is Layla's one-year birthday and then we have a family reunion and then it is Aunt Collette's birthday and then who knows what after that!
