We had the whole family together (except Lewis) so we had to have a family picture. It was so fun to have JJ and her kids here.

Brian went fishing with my dad a couple weeks ago.

We are enjoying our summer!!!

A long time

I know it has been forever since our last post. We have been busy with kids, moving, and traveling. Here are a few pictures of our adventures.

The baby

Well, the third child does get a little neglected, but isn't he the cutest thing? And yes, he has turned into a slobber king.

Thanksgiving Point

We had so much fun the other night, we were out late, but it was well worth it. Has anyone ever seen one of those huge "bounce pillows" it was so fun. By far my kids favorite part.

Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Zion, and Bryce Canyon

Brian's parents came for a visit and we had so much fun. We first went to Jackson Wy, and then made our way up to Yellowstone. It snowed on us so we were not able to see the Grand Tetons. Yellowstone was cold but it was so beautiful with all the snow. We saw two bears while we were in the park. We then drove back through the Grand Tetons and through Jackson so we could actually see the sights.

On Sunday we blessed Jackson at church.

Then we decided to go to Zion, so we packed up in the car again and drove down to St. George. It was so fun and the weather was perfect. We did a hike in Zion and then drove home on the 89 and 12. We got to see Bryce Canyon and Hell's Backbone. It was so beautiful and we loved it. Thanks Granny and Papaw for coming!!!

First Day of Preschool

Tillie's first day of preschool. She was so excited and loves going. She wants to go everyday and asks me everyday if she can go. I can't believe she is getting so big. Porter asks to go too, but he can't unless he is potty trained, so he says "I will go potty and then I will go to school with Tillie".

Tillie's birthday!!!

Tillie had great Tangled birthday thanks to my sister Jordan. I don't think I would have had the energy to do anything. We painted pictures, braided hair, put makeup on, ate a rainbow cake, and lots more. It was so fun and the girls had a blast, thanks Jordan!!!

My boys

Porter just loves Jackson, if he can be hugging or kissing him that's where we will find him. They took a nap together a few weeks ago, it was so sweet!!

Summer update

We have had such a great summer. Jackson has been so much fun, the kids just love him.



Porter took over my bed at the hospital.


Draper days are the best!!! We had so much fun with our light up lightsabers. We can't wait until next year.



Brian's mom came and stayed with us. We had so much fun with her, even though I didn't take a picture. We went up to Snowbird, it was so beautiful. Thanks Granny for coming to visit, we really had a lot of fun!!!

We had a little run in with the police on the fourth...

Fourth of July

We had a great fourth, it was so fun to be able to spend it with our family. Here are some of the highlights.
