Father's Day

We were able to spend a good part of this weekend in Smithfield, UT visiting Mom and Dad Roper. We always have a nice time visiting with them. We went car shopping, watched a movie, ate good food, went to church, and had lots of good conversation. Oh, and of course we spent some time showing off our little Landon:) His army crawl is quite adorable. I'll post some video of it sometime soon. We had a nice quiet Father's Day weekend. I'm grateful for the men in my life who are great fathers! I've been blessed. Here are my top picks:)

Brad who has done such a great job helping me care for Landon. I can tell he would give anything for this little guy!

Teryl who is always there to give us advice and support. Landon sure thinks he's a fantastic grandpa!

And of course we can't forget Grandpa Charlie (aka my dad). I think this man was born to be a Grandpa! He is so good with these kiddos. And I always know I can count on him for a good laugh or a listening ear.

I just have to throw in this cute picture we got with Grandma yesterday. Landon thinks she is great too!

April's Wedding

Last week we were able to make it to my sweet cousin April's wedding. She and Bryndon got married in a little chapel in Lava Hot Springs. It was a quaint and unique wedding. They make a very fun couple. She looked absolutely beautiful in the dress that my Aunt Kathy made for her! We decided it was a good time to take some family pictures while we had someone there to take pics for us. Here are some pics from the afternoon.

I can't believe my little April is all grown up:)

We had a nice time visiting with family at the luncheon afterwards. We decided to go for a quick swim at the Lava Hot Springs indoor pool. It was a very nice day (not the weather of course, but the fact that we had a nice time as a family).


Just before this we made a quick trip to Orem. We were terrible at taking pics, for which I am kicking myself. Brad may have a few on his phone. I wish we could have stayed longer and visited more people. But we decided to just squeeze in what we could in the time we had. We really enjoyed staying with Grandma Roper. It was the first time she had met our little Landon. We were able to make it to a Roper family dinner in Taylorsville which was a lot of fun. We also had fun visiting with some friends and going to our old ward for church. We miss it! We are hoping to make it back for a longer trip this fall.
