Terry Reunion in St. George

It's been a long time since we've posted...take a look at just what's happened in JUNE for us!

We had a family reunion in St. George, UT at the end of that month and had a blast while there. It was so fun to see some of Andrew's family, who we don't get to spend nearly enough time with these days. Among some of the activities we did at the reunion were: Andrew and his brother Don hiked Angels Landing (part of Zions National Park, not far from St. George), Tiffany climbed a rock wall--HUGE feat for her, because she's so afraid of heights, and Taylor got to play with cousins--another real treat and we think, the "trick" that really seemed to help him take-off with walking! We enjoyed every minute.

Birthday Baby!

That is right...Taylor is 1! He had his first birthday on June 2nd and is growing up so fast. For his birthday we went to the pool...

and then let him swim in his cake.

We are so lucky to have him in our family! He started walking ten days after his birthday; something that really opened his world, and ours too. He is everywhere now: tearing the kitchen apart for dishes and food, climbing stairs, emptying the trash (although not in the traditional way), hiding his mommy's keys and wedding ring...

...our hearts are beating faster with him around, that's for sure. I'm guessing that either means that we're at higher risk for heart attack, or that Taylor's the one of the best exercise regimens we've ever had!

Here's a video of his first steps:

Triathlon

Tiff, Tiff's aunt Donna and I completed a triathlon in mid-June! The distances of our adventure were: a 500 meter swim, a 13 mile bike ride, and a 3.1 mile run at the end (5K). It was a lot of fun...exhausting, but a lot of fun. We want to do another one together this year! Probably sometime near the end of the summer or early Fall.
