One month till take off

We are so excited to be visiting out west the first of July. We look forward to seeing as many friends and family as possible. We are flying in and out of Salt Lake City but will be staying with family in Twin Falls, Idaho. For everyone available we will be at the Helpingstine's BBQ on July 3 in Logan. We can't wait to introduce all the babies to each other.
We will be having lunch in Ogden on the 6th with family, then will be in SLC that eveinig with no solid plans. We would love to meet up or hand out with everyone interested so comment on the blog or give us a call or send us an e-mail if your available to say hello. Our trip is only one week so our flight home is on the morning of the 7th.
Hayden, Bret and I are really REALLY looking forward to this vacation and seeing all of you!!!

Holland Michigan Tulip Festival

We took a trip to Holland Michigan and had a wonderful time seeing the tulips and watching the performers. If your ever in Michigan the 1st week of May we highly recommend this splendid Festival. All the local children were in period clothing including little wooden shoes. All the clothing is hand made and must pass an inspection of authenticity in order to be warn during the town dances. Next year they are going to include a Kinder dance time for children 8-10yrs. We hope we can make it next year as well.
Hayden was so good just hanging out in his stroller all afternoon. He liked watching all the people pass and seeing all the bright colors. If you pay close attention you can see his hair is not what it used to be. We love our little man even with a bad comb over hair job.
We look forward to our visit to Utah and Idaho. Only a month and a half before we leave!!!

Family photos

This was Hayden's fist visit to the Chicago Temple.
Darren and Marie joined us for a great family trip.

Hayden thought it was really funny to take daddy's
side of the bed for a nap.

Hayden loves it when Bret reads to him.

Our little man.
