Bumps, Bruises and Bear Lake

This little mishap happened a couple weeks ago. Of course the kids left my sight for a few moments and I heard a loud crash from the office. Brock was once again beat up by Indie, but this time it involved the office door being pushed into his head. It left a pretty sweet goose egg and bruise for a good couple of weeks.


Conference weekend we were able to go to Bear Lake again. The weather was pretty bad, but it was awesome to hang out in the cabin. Dustin was able to catch some conference talks in between entertaining the kids and the dogs!


We spent some time outside with the kids and went for a few walks. Indie can walk forever! Brock had a hard time staying on his feet. He was pretty much covered in mud just like any little boy should be!

On Saturday morning a mother moose and her baby walked right through the driveway and around the cabin. It was so great to see them so close!


Leave it to Grandpa Jackson to figure out a makeshift high chair for dinner one night! Brock was entertained for a few minutes but then wanted to be free to roam and eat!

Heber Valley Century Ride

So I have to say that I finshed my first century ride, that is 100miles! It was also my friend Leslee's first century too! It was such a great day. Our group consisted of Leslee, Ken, Dustin, Jeff, Scott and me.

My cousins Jeff and Scott were patient enough to ride with us too!

Scott lives in Utah, but Jeff drove all the way from Denver to ride with us.

The ride was awesome and hard at the same time. There was a lot of climbing involved...about 4500ft. and I am not sure we were totally prepared for that.


We all made it and had such a good time. The leaves were beautiful and the temperature was perfect! I think we might have to put it on the calender for fall 2009!

Baby Shower

This weekend I got together with some of my college friends for a baby shower for our friend Becky! Isn't she so cute! We had such a good time talking about motherhood and the good old college days. Becky is having a girl and we are all so excited for her and Joe.




This is our friend's, Tonya and Dusty, son. His name is Wyatt and he is nine months old. He is so cute with big blue eyes and blond curly hair. He weighs close to 10lbs. more than Brock who is four months older. This was the first time we met Wyatt, hopefully Brock will start to catch up in size and they will be good friends.

Monday Night Football

Football season is finally here!!! Dustin and Brock were so excited for the Monday Night Raiders Game, but to their dismay (mostly Dustin's because Brock was in bed before the game even started) the Raiders got killed by the Broncos!


This is nothing new, the Raiders pretty much have been horrible for 5 years now, but Dustin is still a die hard fan and has been since the good old days when he was a kid.



Brock and India continue to grow and change so fast! Brock is now walking and trying to keep up with Indie, they continue to fight over toys,
play together and influence each other to get into things they are not suppose to!









Indie doesn't have any Raider's attire right now, but I don't think she minds too much. She is just happy to have fun time with dad.

Back to School

The first few days of school are always crazy at our house, not because we go to school...the school is just in front of our house. The great thing about school starting is that Brock is completely entertained from 8:20 til 8:45 a.m. He climbs on top of their Bumbo, a seat, and intently watches all the kids getting dropped off at school. I think he is already excited to go to school...too bad he still has a long time to wait. Indie is too busy and on the go to stop and watch anything! They are so different from each other already.

Just Another Day of Fun

This was Indie's idea of fun...try to stand/sit in a toy way too small for her, use Brock's hair for balance and then knock him over!!! This is pretty much how playtime works everyday.

Weekend in Bear Lake

We just spent a fun and exhausting weekend in Bear Lake with my family. Dustin's dad let us take my family up for the weekend and we had a great time. My parents came and my older brother and his family. We had a great time playing golf...well maybe I had the best time because I played way better than anyone else. They all claim that they had the worst round ever! I would like to think that maybe I am just that good, probably not!

We also had a good time just hanging out at the cabin, playing cards and watching the Olympics. My dad made an awesome dutch oven dinner and we loved it because we haven't had dutch oven for a long time. We also had to stop for a raspberry shake, Le Beaus.

We finally took the kids on their first ATV ride. Brock loved it from the get go and Indie of course had to warm up to it. After a while they were both into the ATV as long as they got to push every button they could reach.


Indie's is walking up a storm and has been since their birthday. She is walking all over and Brock still prefers to crawl. We are trying to motivate him to walk, but he usually will get Gumby legs and sit down. It is so funny how different Brock and Indie are from each other.








This is a perfect example of Indie's "stink eye" pose. She is really good at it, sometimes she just thinks she is a diva!
