Summer!

It seems like summer has just begun, but yet....it's almost over?!?

We took Brigham on his first trip to Utah and he traveled like a rock star!! It makes his Mom & Dad very happy that he does so well in the car.

Saturday we (me, my Mom & Jeanette) threw our soon-to-be sister in law, Jamie, a bridal shower. We did a fun Food Network theme and she walked away showered with some pretty great cooking gear.

David & Jamie are getting married Septemeber 1st. We are way excited for them and I'm thrilled to have Jamie as a sister, she's great!

Sunday we were also able to bless Brigham while we were down there with all of his aunts,uncles & cousins. It was a very special & beautiful blessing.

Brigham looked adorable (How terrible of a mom am I that I didn't think to take a picture of just Brigham in his blessing outfit...maybe I should squeeze him into it again...) He wore the same shirt that Ryan wore when he was blessed. So sweet!!Ryan & Brigham, Royal & Grant, Ben & Cooper and Chris & Benson

Ryan has a group of friends that have been together since highschool (with the exception of Ben who has been his friend since kindergarten). Well this group of boys now each have a boy of their own....they have created a new generation of themselves!

And then we went to the Steineckert Annual Bear Lake Vacation!We had a large condo, a room to ourselves and three days in and I got the 24 hour bug (blah!) So even though I was down for a day we still had fun laughing, playing, eating and swimming. Anyone up for a friendly round of Battle of the Sexes??

And then we come to Brigham's first time at the pool. We were hoping to do it up at Bear Lake, but with me being sick ....somethings didn't get done. So when we went to Grandpa's house - that has a pool - we made sure to take the opportunity!

Just tilt your head a little and then it will look right-side up :) Brigham seemed to be enjoying it. The bobbing, swishing and a little splashing...it was quite relaxing for him. So relaxing that he fell asleep before we got out of the pool! A quiet pool side nap with Mommy :)

Before we knew it it was back to Burns for us! This vacation went by far too quickly, but thankfully we'll be back in a few weeks to enjoy a longer trip (sorry to the many that we didn't see on this jampacked one!)
