Time for some catch up

I haven't posted in a while, so I guess I have some catch up to do...

We poured a new patio last week and Nate was pressure washing it. Claire loves to be outside so we decided to join him. We got a camping chair and got one of her favorite books, "Brown Bear". Claire loves it when someone reads to her. She is very still at the beginning and just watches. Then she'll get really excited and just start kicking like crazy as you get further along. But before you are done, she usually gets sick of it and wants to do something else. But I think I've discovered the trick...reading outside.

This weekend Nate's mom and sister, Mehren came to town from Seattle. Mehren is starting her second year at Utah State (go Aggies!), so they were moving her down. Here's a group shot:

We also went down to Nate's cousin Preston's missionary farewell. He's going to Budapest Hungary. Good luck Preston!

Nate's other cousin, Mitch, races go-carts at Miller Motorsports Park. He gets this thing going up to 80 mph! Of course, Nate had to give it a try.

Here's Claire when we got home...

And finally, we went to the SL Bees baseball game last night with some friends. Here's the group:

With the Bees mascot (I think Claire was the only kid there who wasn't afraid of the mascot and that's because she had no idea what he was!)
