The rest...

Here are some pictures for your viewing enjoyment, smile.



Corn on the cob, Evan style...raw.



Evan loves Strawberries and Cream, what a life huh??!!















We are complete!


Finally after 3 weeks our boxes arrived. They were dropped off late Monday afternoon, left for us in the parking lot, in a prime parking space to boot. Lucky for Bill it was only 100 degrees that day. It felt like Christmas, even Evan had fun opening the boxes and finding all kinds of treasures inside (see video below).

First Day of School







Evan started Kindercare on Monday.

Here is his "first day of school" picture.




Pioneer Day



July 24th is Pioneer Day here in Utah. A very big deal, celebrated just like the 4th of July. We went to the Youth Parade and festivle to show our support to the Utes. We rode the train downtown. Here is Evan waiting for the next train.


Wilbur's Summer Pool Party


Evan couldn't go swimming, so he played with the floaty on the cement. He still had a good time.







One of Bill's co-workers made this pinata! It was really neat, but almost impossible for any of the kids to break open, Evan gave it a try though.







New Camping chair




We recently purchased "patio furniture" in the form of camping chairs. Here is Evan enjoying his first camping chair (in the living room)!

Fountain Fun



On the first Saturday that we were here, we went to The Gateway. It is an outdoor mall and the kids were having a blast playing in the water.

The Snowbird Incident

The view from the tram

Evan's bandages on Saturday, right after we got home from the ER

This is his second set of bandages on Sunday.
He finally had some access and use of his fingers.


Another amazing view. You can see the valley way out there.


Our first big adventure was to Snowbird, a ski and summer resort. Unfortunately, it didn't end as expected. We took the tram up the mountain to about 10,000 feet. While up there, Evan fell on the steel platform and got second degree burns on his hands and right knee. He is recovering nicely now, and should be much better in just a week. The doctors and nurses were great at the ER and the burn clinic. Evan hardly even bothers with his dressings and now that his fingers are exposed he is back to all of his normal activities.
We are hoping to go back to Snowbird soon, as it was just beautiful. We even saw a moose!
