Summer Vacation!


I am soooo behind on my blog.  So tonight I am doing about ten posts in one!  We spent our last two weeks of summer vacationing in Island Park and Orem.  Our first stop was our practice room. We didn't have anyone to take the picture for us, so this was the best we could do with the timer.  This picture is a favorite tradition of mine, and kids were threatened big time for not smiling!



Behind those overgrown bushes is the house I grew up in.  So hard to see the neighborhood not be taken care of.  But here is Brandon underneath the Brandon Dr. sign.  I ran into one of my old Young Women leaders, and it was so great to run into an old friend!


In Island Park, all the Bigelows stayed together in the same cabin.  It was awesome!  Brandon loved all the attention, and it was great to all be under one roof.  We were right on the lake, and spent tons of time boating and playing outside.  








I almost thought Magsy was drowning underneath this trampoline.  Other than that, it was great!


You can barely see Magsy, but everyone but Brandon is on this raft.  We had the BEST time!  We had to beg Bronwyn to give it a try, and then we had to beg her to give someone else a turn.  The girls squealed with joy for hours as their uncles drove them around.











I love my baby!






We had a great day trip to Yellowstone.  Our favorite place was these rocks.  Ty and Mags were a little scared, but Todd and Bronwyn would have climbed all day!  






Show off.



Old Faithful












Seriously, check out those legs!  FAT!


These two just got hitched!




My mom did Susie's hair and makeup for her reception.  What a beauty!



It was great to spend time in Orem with my mom.  The kids were so good, and we had a great time coming up with our new zumba routine.  We also had a fun brunch with a bunch of Ingoldsbys!  It was the perfect way to end Summer.  And we also got the good word that Bronwyn is still cancer free.  Now if only we could get rid of the stomach flu...

Two Months!


Brandon is already two months old!  



And the poor kid doesn't have anyone to hold him...






Hello blue eyes.


Thumb sucking never looked so cute.





He totally looks like a red head here.  
He's not.  Just sayin'.



We are LOVING all the smiles and cute facial expressions he is giving us.  He is the sweetest boy.  Very calm, and easy to put to sleep.  Handles the chaos of our home so well.


Ty seriously cannot wait until Brandon is sharing a room with him.  Not quite sure when we will be ready for that, but I love to see the brotherly love.  



One of my favorite things about Ty right now is how he makes up songs about whatever he is doing.  Here he is just talk/singing to Brandon.  Totally melts my hearts!
