Axel

Felix

Playing hockey

Sports Center with Axel

We enjoyed dinner at a park

Then rolled down the hill lots of times

Playing lacrosse with Alex and Kaden

We braved the park on a super hot day

They were so thrilled that I made them a fort.

Felix got bit by a dog (NOT Scout), and it swelled up like crazy

So we had to make a trip to the hospital. He had to take antibiotics for a while, but otherwise was fine.

Kissing puppies

Axel got Felix dressed and ready all by himself!

Monkey and Daddy are the silliest.

We took an AMAZING vacation to Sun Valley, ID. Nana and Papa rented a big house for all of us to stay in.

There were a lot of fires in Washington, Oregon, and California so we had some epic sunsets through the smoky haze.

We swam in the community pool a couple times.

Went on walks with GG while the others went on bikerides.

My favorite day (and coincidentally the bulk of pictures I took) was when we went to Red Fish Lake.

Felix is NOT a fan of sand.

Axel getting a head dunk from Alex.

We got to go kayaking!

Axel and Daddy

Daddy and Mommy

GG and Papa

All 4 of us!

Finally Felix agreed to play in the sand.

The water was really shallow for a long way out, so even Felix could go out really far.

Totally passed out after a long, fun day.

Early wake-up call one morning. Thanks for letting us sleep in, Felix (insert eye-roll emoji here).

Kermit is the funniest.

We ate outside at a restaurant for Papa's birthday.

Cuddling with Papa while watching a sports game (I don't remember which one).

We went on a cool hike in the Sawtooth Mountains.

Lounging on the deck. It was so peaceful and wonderful. A great trip!

Cars loaded, ready to head home.

Saying goodbye to Kaden before he left for BYU.

We went to visit cousins, and they had a bunny! Felix was very intrigued.

 

July 2020

In July we were able to be outside a LOT.

Felix being silly with a bag on his head. 

Otter pops are life.

Gotta get that lasts drop.

We went on an awesome hike at Mirror Lake up in the Uinta Mountains.

Felix thought this trick was really funny, and we thought so too.

Until he lost his hold and fell face first!

Felix really wanted to sit on this log, but picked a very pokey spot!

After resting a bit, we decided to tackle another hike in the area, but it turns out our legs were really tired! So we only went a short way then turned back.

We had to do a Lion King picture, of course.

We also stopped by a lovely waterfall.

Axel loved being in the cold water.

Fourth of July

Felix and Uncle Alex playing catch.

Somersaults in the backyard.

Gotta throw poppers on the Fourth of July! (At least in Utah you do)

Watching the neighbor's huge firework show.

Roasting some marshmallows in the backyard.

Felix is pretty good at riding Axel's tornado!

After MUCH ado, Axel learned how to ride a bike! Hooray!

Axel helping Papa mow the lawn.

Felix enjoying the freshly mowed grass.

Axel ready for an adventure!

What a cutie pie. (The band aids were an attempt to stop the thumb sucking. Didn't work, since he learned he could pull them off)

Daddy bought a Virtual Reality set, and everyone was happy to try it out.

How did you climb in there?

Felix and Scout.

We were able to spend the day at a campground in Little Cottonwood Canyon. A few people slept over night too (not me or Felix).

We had delicious tinfoil dinners.

I'm pretty sure Felix had 5 marshmallows.

I didn't bother counting how many Axel had.

Felix and Uncle Kaden.

Nana, Felix, Papa, Alex, Kaden, GG, Axel, Me, and Daddy.

A boy and "his" dog.

We braved the park since so few people were there.

Felix wanted a turn spinning Daddy and Axel.

Felix getting much better at saying sounds!

Nana took Axel on lots of hikes this Summer.
