The family moved up north over the summer to spend time with family before moving to Missouri. We bounced back and fourth from the Jewkes' and West's homes.
Happy Fathers Day! Aspen loves her Daddy!
Aspen loved the jumper at Grandma West's house!
Daddy went to VA to pick up a car that the Fox family was giving to us! So kind of them! He spent some time visiting them with Papa before driving the car to Columbia to look for houses! Papa went with to help Dad look and had a church history tour the week after!
Dad and cousin Lucy
Mom spent time with her family and extended family. We are at her Aunt Erin's house!
Mom also got uncle Taylor to help keep her busy and build a bench for their new place!
This is Cami. She puts up with Aspen's play.
Reading with Grandma West!
Uncle Brandon is still learning how to hold babies.
AF Canyon getaway! Aspen loved playing in the river even though it was freezing! She is an adventure seeker for sure.
A waterfall hike that can be done from Grandma and Grandpa West's house! It is so pretty. We will miss these mountains!
Aspen on the monitor. Sleeping babies are so cute!
We got Aspen some shades for the summer. She actually let them stay on.
Mom and Aspen talking to Dad who was still house hunting. Mom missed Dad very much.
Dad found a place to live in Columbia and is back on the 4th of July! Aspen stayed with Grandma West while Mom and Dad went to the Stadium of Fire with the Jewkes family!
Watching Dad and uncle Isaac play tennis.
Family pictures with the West family.
Nana has great ideas on how to keep the kiddo's entertained.
Visiting the Knudsen cabin with the Allred girls. Aspen got plenty of attention whether she wanted it or not:)
Dad took uncle Isaac fishing for his first time. They came back with a great catch!
The girls watching the gutting of the fish.
Always have to hike up the rock slide.
Playing horse shoes and Mom got a ringer..... on the tree.
Back to Nana and Papa's house. They were cutting down some of their dying aspen trees. We let Aspen play with her namesake.
Cousins meeting for the first time! Neilson was born a few months before Aspen. Two cuties!
Dad wanted to hike up to the waterfall by G-pa and G-ma's house. Aspen decided she had already seen it and fell asleep.
G-pa West had broke his hip earlier in the year so he watched Aspen while Mom, Dad, G-ma, uncle Austin and Brandon went for a Mountain bike ride near the Draper Temple.
Uncle Noah is home! Noah got home from his mission and the Jewkes family packed up and went to Ephraim, Ut to spend some time together.
Fun day of fishing! these two cousins did great.
We had a side-by-side and some 4-wheeler's that we rode around as well. The Jewkes put on a great devotional concerning Papa Jewkes' health. We also were challenged to take the summer to memorize the Family: a Proclamation to the Wold. We all got to say it together and the spirit was very powerful.
Dad taking his adventurous daughter up to new heights.
This whole summer all of our stuff was in the Jewkes' garage! Our summer vacation was coming to and end. We had so much fun but also ready to be done living out of suitcases and into our new place in Columbia, MO.
Aspen was teething and frozen strawberry's in this netted device did the trick to keep her entertained while the work was going on. Dad drove the moving truck across the country by himself while mom and G-ma West flew with Aspen to meet him there.
At the airport! we were a bit tired since we had to wake up around 4am!
Missouri here we come!
