My Hubby is home from the ATL! It's been so nice to be home together again! On his first day home Bridge suprisingly wanted to do yard work! He weeded and had his little bother jack mow our lawn and cleaned the garage just maintenance stuff since we have been gone for so long. Bridge and jack also knocked down a big behive we had on our roof while I unloaded the car and got the house in order. We also had a long over-due date night. We went to Lonestar for dinner and ate way too much then went to the movie Inseption. It was good but definately a thinker movie, while our good friend Alli White whatched our little man. Friday we went to the Bountiful High football game to watch Bridger's little brother and on Sundy today we went to our own ward for the first time since before we left and stayed for all three hours which is a chanllge with a eight month old! He is just all over never wants to sit still! And I got a calling something I know nothing about coming from a family of all girls, Den Mother! Yep this will be a whole new thing for me but I'm excited it should be fun to get involed with the ward.

I don't think this kid gets enough attention?

Hanging out with uncle Charlie, Jack and Auntie Emma!

Grampa and Grandma Symes

Every kid tries to take the ball out of the bears mouth. Ha ha I use to do that when I was his age.

Bear lake is sooo pretty

Linc and Me up at Bear Lake

My Last night in Atlanta! I miss these girls!

Summer is coming to an end! It is sad, but I have been home in Utah exactly two week today! And it has flown by so fast I guess that means I've had a lot of fun. Linc and I went to my cabin up in Bear Lake for Raspberry Days the first weekend with my Mom, Dad, nephews Micheal, Jaxon and my cute grandma Lavon It felt so good to go boating and be able to do stuff last summer I was about five months pregnant with Linc. I tried the air chair for the first time! and Linc had his first boat ride! He was so cute he was loving it till it was time to put his life jacket on and then he could hardly move but he was so good. We went to the festival ate raspberry shakes and went out on a late night boat ride to watch the fire works and the boat parade! while we were out there there were two swimmers lost so that was really scary but thank goodness they found them and from what I know they are ok but they were in pretty bad shape. note to everyone never leave your boat!!! Not a good idea. Then we've been busy seeing our friends and family we've missed so much these past few months. We went and played with the Thomas family and went over for good old Sunday dinner, Mindy is just so great. They were all very excited to see Linc. My dad had his 55th birthday! We all gathered at my parents home for that and I am surprised to say nobody thought Lincoln has changed to much they say he's just gotten taller, I guess since he started crawling he's slowed down in his growing a little bit. It was so fun to see Linc's two cousins Jacob, four months, and Boston, five months, we took pictures of them together, I just know they are going to be best friends! Its been nice to just be living our normal life again I'm still doing hair which I love and being a mommy. I'm always thinking of ways to decorate my house. bridge always says that I'm done but I think I'll probably never be done. We landscaped our front yard too while we were gone our friend Ryan did it for us. Now we just need to do the back it look pretty horrendous.

I'm so excited right know Bridge in on his way home and he will be home tonight! So for us our vacation is just starting. I can't wait till we can actually have date night again! Go to BYU games, go hiking, be at all our family events, go out to dinner with our friends, Yes this is a happy time for us and bridge would want me to say how excited he is about hunting this season. And I'm am so excited to go to lagoon ha ha I know that sounds lame but last year I was pregnant and we live way close now!

We Did a Little exploring one day! And Discovered this really fun Park in the middle of downtown Atlanta called Piedmont Park! It is very green and pretty with lots of play grounds, running trails, wide open spaces, ponds to feed the ducks which we did of course. And this awesome pool that is clean unlike the pool at our apartment complex, with a lazy river and a whirl pool! Sounds like fun I know, and its free from three to five! So we have been known to visit this pool a few times. But lately It has just been to hot to even enjoy going to the pool if you can imagine that!

Linc has really Started to enjoy the pool he loves to splash and crawl around in the shallow parts its a good time for the both of us!

Quick story, So it started down pouring which happens often, while we were at Piedmont Park so we ran for cover under this gazebo with lots of other people, so we are just hanging out under the gazebo when this really short colored man comes swaying over to where we are carrying a big Listerine bottle half empty with I'm sure boos in it! But they do have Listerine that color so we weren't sure? he was so wasted with no teeth, bumping into everyone then stopped right by Stacy, Marcie her kids and Linc and I, just singing loud, words we can't even catch cause they were so slurred then started asking Marcie for a sandwich she was like no. Oh man my story doesn't even give it Justice it was so funny but a little scary at the time. Some people!

Hanging out with Autie Stacy!

Atlanta Botanical Gardens

Linc is crawling! And is seven months old. Wow he is just getting so big, he has been doing the army crawl for a while now but just the last few days he is full on crawling all over this apartment. He is just so curious about evertyhing he loves going to the window seals and climbing up to look out side. Just yesterday was the first time he started standing up in his crib, so now everytime I put him down for a nap he stands up and trys to get out! It the cutest thing, but equally annoying!

Atlanta Zoo!

Atlanta Zoo! We had a great time at the zoo with all us wifes out here in Georgia! It was so hot here I was dripping with sweat. There was nobody there so that was nice no crowds, except everything was closing early and we didn't make it to the Dippin dots in time we were so bumbed out. but I was lucky and got some anyway! Yummy I love dippin dots.

We had fun taking pictures with everything!

Watch out! Miley Cyrus we can't be tamed!

Cherise getting her roar on!

The Coke Factory

Sporting our 3D shades!

Our friend Emily came to Atlanta to see her husband who is here for school. which worked out perfect cause we are living here! So we took Emily and had a girls day out! we went to the Cheesecake Factory and then to the Coke factory. And had a great day hanging out together! But something crazy happened at the cheesecake factory I had gotten the Hibachi steak and thought it was so good I wanted Stacy to try it so I cut her a piece, she started eating it and said there is a bone in it and I was like no there shouldn't be and she spit it out and it was a big bolt that was is the piece of steak I had given her!!! We couldn't believe it we should have taken a picture of it but we were in shock and the waiter took it pretty fast, so they think it had to of come from the meat company. Thank goodness they gave us free meals, but kinda crazy!

Lincoln being silly!
Cherise, Marcie, and I in out matching summer shirts!

Slobbery boy!

This is how he likes to sleep!

This video makes me laugh! He cant take his eyes of the tv.

Oh Atlanta! She has been good to us this summer. I actually haven't minded all this hot humid weather. I laugh cause I told Stacy one day walking in to the grocery store that I felt like I had just jumped into a big pile of hot laundry! We laughed cause that's really how it feels! You can swallow this air.

Bridger and Linc have been sick which is not good! Bridge just got a prescription for this stupid sinus infection that I swear he gets every couple of months so he should be filling better! Linc, poor little thing has the worst little runny nose, I just checked on him during his nap and he is really having a hard time breathing. I'm sure sleeping on his face doesn't help but every time he sleeps he insists on sleeping on his tummy! He sure is keeping me busy he is definitely on the move, he gets faster and better about getting where he wants to go, he's getting into anything he can get his mouth to. It's funny how that is at this age everything goes straight to his mouth! Well good thing I have a good immune system so I can take care of my boys or else we would be in big trouble.

Today is the first day of the last half of the summer! Bridge is working so hard he has to catch up now from being sick, but he's doing good!
