Pool Party!

For the Twenty Fourth of July Mindy's Aunt T invited us over for a BBQ and a swim. I of course enjoyed the food. Especially when Troy fed me marshmallow and chocolate ( no better combination of food in the world). Also Ashton loved the pool. When we went to Bear Lake we thought he'd love the pool, while he liked it it wasn't as much as we thought. But as soon as he got in the pool this time he just started splashing all over! He loved it, unless you splashed on him, He was fine splashing on himself but would give you some hardcore stink eye if you splashed him. After the swimming Ashton had his first firework show. He just sat there and enjoyed it. It was so much fun.

Church Makes us Tired

Last Sunday we went to church. It was a pretty usual day until Mindy came and got me out of Elder's Quorom. So I went out in the hall to find out what was up. Our little son knows already how to escape church he had an accident and we had to go change his clothes. Any who after church after Ashton and I were filled so heavily with the spirit we became weak and had to rest. Mindy caught us in the act though!

What Kind of People Eat This Stuff!!!

We fed da boy some Cheerio like food recently it's flavored like berries. We were all excited to get him eating these so he could just sit in his chair and chow down at his leisure. So we laid some on his tray and waited to see him stuff his face. So we sat there and waited... and waited... and waited. Granted he loved the treat, but he just loved to smash them and throw them and do anything but eat them. Finally we had to take some initiative and put it in his mouth and these pictures show the results. Not a happy camper. Hopefully he likes em soon!

Jade and Kirsti!

We were really blessed recently we went to two weddings in two weeks! This last Saturday was Jade and Kirsti's turn. Their wedding was awesome, they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. It's awesome to be in the temple with family and the ones you love so much. They had a Luau the night before for them it was so sweet! They even had some Hawaiian dancers come it was really cool to watch. Then at their reception we had a ton of fun too. They had dancing, now Mindy and I aren't big dancers but when everyone else is dancing and having a ball you can't help but join in! I am glad we did it was so much fun. We wish them the best and can't wait for Ashton to have a little Bytheway cousin! nudge nudge.

The Voldens

Man we had an awesome opportunity to go to my best buddy Matt's wedding to Amanda. It was such an awesome experience to be there in the temple with someone you are so close to! He was married in the Bountiful temple. If I could have the feelings of the temple always it would be awesome! I'm so grateful he invited Mindy and I. You can really see the joy and love Matt and Amanda have for each other and I am excited to see them grow stronger and stronger as a couple.

Drink Your Lunch!!!

Ashton finally got to meet his Uncle Taylor. For those of you that don't know Taylor has been serving a mission in Baltimore. We were so excited for him to come home and excited for him to meet Ashton. Taylor is awesome and we are happy to have him home. Mindy and Ashton were able to go down to St George to welcome him home over the 4th of July holiday. Taylor fed Ashton while he was down there, but his new habit is to goof off when he should be eating, so Taylor had to get after him and tell him "drink your lunch!"
