Too many pictures....

Before we went to Utah on the 1st, we made a trip to the zoo with the Hiatt's (minus Scott) and Hannah. It was actually a while before we went to Utah, but I just found these pictures and they were cute.
Donovan loves to get into my head bands. He thinks he is so funny when he gets them on. I think I was trying to pack and he kept getting into everything so I let him play with one.
Blue Steel.
He spent 20 minutes running across the cushions and jumping off. He is getting very good at jumping off things, but is also very cautious about height...thank goodness!! Hopefully we won't suffer any broken bones until later years.Handsome boy.
When we got to Utah, Donovan and I spent some time in Lehi while Bradley went to Logan for a Hanks' wedding. We went on Donovan's first hike on Friday with my family on Friday morning.
He loved being outside running around. He made me a little nervous a few times, he wasn't very careful around steep edges.
He had to get close to the waterfall.
Grandpa and Faye.
On Saturday we spent some time over at Nate and Kirsta's to celebrate Colin's birthday. He is an adorable little boy and always has a smile...when he isn't tired or hungry.
Donovan helped open presents. It reminded me of Donovan's 1st birthday when Mason helped open Donovan's presents. The three boys are so close in age that they should have a lot of fun together once they get older and get out of the hitting and biting stages and learn how to share.
Kaylee got to open a belated gift from her aunt Hannah. She is so cute.

Messy cupcakes. Kirsta made really cute monkey cupcakes!Cute messy boys!


Later that night we went to Caleb and Heather's to eat, play, and set off fireworks. Donovan loved playing with Hermoine, their kitty.

We played some rounds of snitch pitch and then the boys pretended to play horseshoes.
Donovan loved the sparklers and made me very nervous. I guess it's just a glimpse of the things he will do with fire in the future. He touched the end of it and ended up with blisters the next day.We had one of the Hanks's join us for the festivities. She didn't have anywhere to go for the 4th so she came to play with us!

On Sunday we went over to Brad's friend, Dave's house. I think most of "the boys" were in town for the weekend.

Beck, Dye, Dave, Will, Moss, Silv, Roberts

All the boys and their families. I think Dave and Beck are the only ones not married now.
Donovan loved Dave's sister Lindsay. She is really good with kids.
On Monday we went hiking with Granny and Papa and Caleb's family.
He loved putting his feet in the stream but it was so cold that he would cry and get out for a while before going for more.
We got back from the hike and headed straight to the lake to spend some time with Ben and Dalissa (Roberts), Moss (and his dad), Beck, and Dye. It was a lot of fun. I really like wakeboarding, but I'm not very good at it. I got up every time and got out of the wake twice...but fell immediately after.

Brad did pretty well. He's better than me!

The Moss's also have a wake surfboard. It looked pretty cool, but I didn't even try it. It looked like it was really hard to get up.
You can't tell, but we both got pretty burned.
Playing the piano with Faye. Donovan still doesn't really know what to do with younger kids. He still likes bigger kids.We had a lot of fun, but we were all ready to get home! I don't think we will ever drive again if we don't have to!
