Hot Air Balloon Festival

abby always tucks her lower lip in (like dan is doing here), so i was trying to get a picture of it...


me and abby... she is a big fan of the sling.

andrew was pretty scared of the hot air balloons, i think mostly because of the fire torches at the base. he kept pointing to the parking lot saying "that way!"

i think these are cute.

i took a lot of pictures, because there is a photo contest from the hot air balloon festival.  but it was extremely difficult to get a good picture at night, AND my camera would take 10-15 seconds to snap the picture, i think it was because it was dark.  i might try to submit one even though i don't feel like i got any really cool ones... we'll see. 



as they were taking the balloons down...
saturday night at the hot air balloon festival! andrew loves swinging like this....
sunday there was a missionary farewell for a couple from dans old ward in alpine so we went down to that with jen and margo. it was funny  how most of the people who saw andrew were like "A little dan!", they knew him at about that age...kind of funny. 

her new dress...


andrew got a milk mustache when he had his orange julius, which is one of his favorite treats now, even more than ice cream!
this was funny, he got her diaper stacker and was walking around trying to chase us with it over his head. 
abby and daddy getting some cuddle time in...


i call this one "pure joy". haha. 
andrew loves to hold his little sister. he's wearing his "im the big brother" shirt, which was quite fitting.

i got a real smile out of him! any smile is a big deal for the camera, but he was actually very happy here.
