August 2014 Photos

I'm kind of ashamed of myself for not having more pictures of our trip to Utah. Gone are the days when I carried my good camera around with me everywhere I went! Anyway, we stayed with Grandma and Grandpa, and J had to have a ride on the mower! As usual, he was nervous while he was riding, but then begged for more. 

My brother got married in the Salt Lake Temple, so we took a little family shot while the photographer was taking pictures of the newlyweds.

Whenever we go to Utah, we have to spend a day at BYU! 

And then we went to Bridal Veil Falls. 

A visit with my wonderful Grandma Lowe.

M and I went on a date to the gardens at Thanksgiving Point.

It was great to see M's Grandma, who now lives in Utah. She lived in Oklahoma until recently, and we have fond memories of living near her when we were first married.

After our Utah trip, I took the kids to Pennsylvania to visit my parents and also to see the County Fair. They loved seeing all the animals.

And while we were there, we celebrated J's birthday a little early. More Thomas trains! It was a hit!

Cute cousins!

And here we are back home with the birthday boy on his actual birthday. I think he liked the frosting for his cake, don't you? Happy 2nd Birthday, J! We love you!
