Waterskiing in Cody!

Blessing Day

We had many family members and even a few friends there for the blessings in the Jackson, Wyoming visitors ward. LOTS of babies. Thanks to all of you who were there.


 

 

 

Cousins!

Lydia, Jacob, Claire, and Clayton share a little photo op outside the cabin.

 

New friends for Jacob and Claire

Dani and Ashley and all the babies!
 

1st time swimming

In Jackson, we decided we wanted to go for a swim and we wanted Claire and Jacob to join us. Jacob was the first in the pool... and quickly was the first out of the pool too. He preferred dry ground!Claire, on the other hand, loved the pool! Don't be fooled by her eyes being shut, she had a great time!
Jacob's strategy for not going back into the cold pool was to fall asleep as soon as he got dry. This is the little party animal not long after getting out.
We went swimming with Ashley (one of Dani's best friends), James (her husband), and their baby Daviny. Daviny had a great time in the pool, splashing and making happy baby sounds - so did James!

Hanging out

We continue our posting things that happened 3 weeks ago. We have so many pictures to share, we don't want to put them all on at once!

Aunt Bridget was concerned during the family reunion that Claire's hair did not look girly enough. Jared likes her to have crazy hair, and he'd been the one to dry Claire off after baths in Jackson. So, Bridget took matters into her own hands. A few minutes later, we got a cute, very girly hairstyle on Claire:Jacob, meanwhile, got to spend some time in the basement with the boys playing Axis and Allies. He was privy to a whole bunch of strategy-talk by the Allies, but was tight-lipped when the Axis tried to get him to talk! Good thing Tyler and Andrew weren't leading the Axis powers, or we'd be having to speak German or Japanese!

Beautiful Wyoming

Jared and Jacob sitting in the Bravada (thanks again Grandpa!), planning out some sites to see...
... as Claire waits patiently.

Well planned boys! We got to see some beautiful sites in Teton National Park! We got a great panoramic from a distance on the day the family took pictures...
...and we got a closer view of the Tetons from the banks of Jenny Lake. Those kids don't know it yet, but they've been to some beautiful places in the past weeks!
 

The Hike!

We went for a short hike around String Lake in Teton National Park. We carried the kids in Baby Bjorns. It's a popular hike, so we had lots of comments. It was quite a site as almost the entire family, including 5 infants, made the journey.
Dani and Jacob, having a great time on the hike!

By the end of the hike, both Jacob and Claire were pooped! It's hard work being carried everywhere you go!

 

Claire Alexa

Tonight we are posting pre-vacation pictures. In these pictures you see our "Crazy Hair Claire" and her spunky personality.


Here you can see her beautiful blue eyes and the calming influence of a nightime bath!

 

Jacob Scott!!!

Jacob joined me in cheering Portugal on in the World Cup. This picture was taken as we prepared to watch the consolation match, which Portugal lost 3-1 to Germany.



Jacob somehow wiggled himself into this position in the swing. It doesn't look comfortable to me, but Jacob seemed to quite like it!
