Belle's Big Girl Bed

Belle never learned to climb out of her crib so I let her sleep in it as long as possible.  As we are nearing her fourth birthday I figured it was time we transition her into a real bed.  She did great right away and if we are still asleep when she wakes up in the morning, she quietly sneaks into our room and goes back to sleep on some blankets on our floor.  ♡

St. Anthony, Idaho Sand Dunes

When we went to the park to eat dinner in St. 

Anthony we randomly ran into the parents of my roommate from BYU. Talk about a small town! It made me so happy.

Grandma Dove used to come to these sand dunes as a child. We watched dune buggies and ran up and down the sand hills. 

visiting family and going to bear world

Temple Square @ SLC, UT

Our Utah trip began at 4 am with a drive to the airport parking and a shuttle bus over to the airport.

First thing, we made sure to eat at Cafe Rio in downtown Salt Lake before hitting up temple square. 

Bug was our photographer in front of the SLC Temple.

Bug's Baptism

I had always looked forward to the day when I would have a kid old enough to get baptized.  Bug's baptism was a perfect and spirit-filled day.  His Uncle gave a talk and his Grammy sang a song.  Daddy baptized him.  Gigi and Bear gave the opening and closing prayers and Pops and Poppi were the witnesses for his baptism and stood in the circle with Daddy and the Bishop to confirm him a member of the church.  

  It was so nice to have Daddy's family visit from Tennessee and Aunt B drive in for the day.
