Bon Anniversaire Thomas and James!!


Everyone loves San Francisco!


Philip warmed up to Cass and Scott


James was king of the mountain.


Charlie and Philip finally meet!


We love Aunt Cassidy!


Philip is already asking for the keys.


Uncle Mike was a gem. He played with the boys nonstop.


Feeding baby cows with a ginormous bottle


Brave little James went down the zipline.


My mom was amused that the boys went right to the gorillas "milks" and tried to get something to come out!


Deeply concerned about a baby bird that fell from the nest.



What could be more exciting than a key and a padlock?




Uncle Ryan and Aunt Liz were so sweet to the boys.


Thomas and James are four today!! They are celebrating with Nick in the Magic Kingdom and I am home enjoying Philip and missing them.
July has been fabulous. We spent two weeks in Utah visiting family and had so much fun. Highlights for the boys were riding in Uncle Mikes Ferrari cars, swimming at Grandpa Buehner's pool and driving the power wheels at Grandma Calls. They haven't stopped talking about how much they loved Utah!
We had a little birthday celebration for the boys with the key and padlock cakes (thanks to my mom and Liz) that they requested. Thomas and James loved them. We visited the zoo, went boating at Bear Lake, celebrated great-grandpa Buehner's 80th birthday, went to the Buehner's condo in Heber and had fun hanging out with family and friends. My mom and Liz were so nice to fly back with us and help with the kids. It was so fun to have them here for a few days. Thanks for the fun trip. We miss all of you!

Yah! Happy Birthday to the boys! They were on my mind all day. I am so glad you posted about their bdays... anyway, a key and padlock, that is SOOOO funny! I love that! Are you back in CA. now? I promise we always barely miss each other being in UT. We haven't chatted in awhile, I think it's that time, what do you think?!!

I can't believe we missed each other! I am so bummed that I didn't get to see you and the boys because they are getting so big and so cute! Happy Birthday to Thomas and James and way to go to you for making it this long! I hope to see you sometime sooner than later. :)

Happy birthday to the boys! It looks like you guys had a ton of fun! When does Nick head back to school? When will you guys be in SLC again? We hope to go for Christmas this year, but you never know with Chris' schedule! I am glad you guys are doing well! Only two more years right?
