Flip...where did the summer go

Bree's officially a toddler

After not very much coaxing from her parents (really, we're not ready to give up calling you Baby Bree!), Bree decided to up and walk in July when there was a sufficient audience--ward members filing out of sacrament meeting. I still do a double take when I see her on her hind haunches, sporting that "Aren't I so tricky" smile of accomplishment. Love this baby--err toddler.

Recap time...
Ty graduated from Ms Susan's

Tyler Cheesing it, and check out Kylie's fierce pose!

Welch family reunion in Star Valley. Clean air, beautiful scenery, the kids living outside, staying up into the wee hours playing games, wonderful family, good eats and did I mention horses? Such a great fam reunion.

Bree meeting the horses for the first time...

Dad & Tink Tyler & the 3 week old colt

Horseback riding

Oh, hey, there's Ashlyn on a horse. What do you know!

Oh, and on another horse!

Hailey & Ty

Hey--there she is again!

And again! We had to pry this girl off the horses. A love affair has developed--poor, poor city girl!

The family Dairy Farm

Trish's Crew. Can't say enough how much we love this entire family.

We've done lots of hiking too...

Tyler always has to lead, so he's always WAY ahead of the crew...

I think we lost a kid or two to get this shot...

I really tear up when I think about my sisters...just can't beat 'em! And THIS one...

Is on study abroad here...lucky little duck! She's down there painting and waxing poetic and flipping gets college credit for it! Lindsay...she's a smart one, that gilr! So I nabbed her for a hike the night before...

The day she left, we all went out to breakfast, hiked Dog Lake, then relaxed in the pool and hot tub with a barbeque in the backyard. It's only been a few days and we already miss her!
