Fishing

Brian and I have been begging Mark all summer to take us fishing.  He finally got a Saturday when we could go. Uncle Tony kindly came with us and ended up bringing the best snacks and the camera and he was the best baby-sitter and helper.  All the pictures are from him.  Thank you Tony!  We had a wonderful time and it was nice to get up to Payson Lakes and out into the mountains with some beautiful weather.

Brian helped reel in several of the twelve fish we caught.  The fish below he reeled in all the way to the very end. Meg wanted a taste, but don't worry Brian held tight and kept it to eat later at Mark's parent's house.  That night as I was putting Brian to bed he sighed and said, "Daddy's just the best fisherman."

Timmy was a little grumpy.  I don't think he was feeling well, but he did enjoy the boat rides and playing with the rocks.

Lagoon

Mark had a company party at Lagoon a few weeks ago.  We were able to go for the afternoon with the boys.  We also met Dave and Jordie and Caitie for a few rides.  We had so much fun! I did not want to leave it was so fun.  My only regret is we didn't have enough time there.  Brian and Timmy both enjoyed the rides.

Luke's Farewell and Will's Blessing

A few Sunday's ago we did double duty and attended Mark's little brother Luke's mission farewell and my sister Alli's baby William's blessing.  It was a wonderful busy Sunday full of family and happiness.  It forced me to get my cello out of the closet because I got to play with Luke at his farewell and with my sisters (we missed you Emily) in Alli and Dave's ward.

The night before Luke went to the MTC we had a really nice adult dinner with the Hsiaos at the Olive Garden.  Fantastic! We should do this more often.

After his time at the MTC, Elder Hsiao will be serving in the LA mission speaking Mandarin Chinese.  He is so prepared and I have no doubt he'll be one awesome missionary.

We sure will miss Uncle Luke though.

I didn't get any pictures at Will's blessing, but I stole this from Alli.  I am so glad they live close to us and I can't get enough of the Scott kids.

Starting Preschool

Thursday was Brian's first day of preschool.  He was so excited and he did great!  The first thing he said to me when I picked him up was, "I just missed you so much Mommy!"  It will be a change for him and me and Timmy having him gone two mornings a week, but he's definitely ready.  You're getting so big kiddo!
