Uncle Blake took Jeff, Justin and Uncle Justin to Strawberry Lake for a fishing trip. They had a great time - Justin even caught several fish that we enjoyed eating that night!

Lisa, Jeff & Ethan

Grandpa Bills, Lisa & Ethan
Grandpa Bills gave Ethan a beautiful name/baby blessing. We decided to bless Ethan in our home and had both our families come. Afterward we had lunch and enjoyed being together.


Uncle Eric, Ethan & Uncle Scott
We were so lucky that Eric and Scott were here in Utah on business. Both their families live in the bay area of California so we don't get to see them very often. It meant a lot to me to have them here for this special day.
Tom Latta, Grandmummy Porter, Ethan

Jeff & Uncle Eric
A family get-together wouldn't be complete with out an endurance test and of course a round of "Indian Leg Wrestling"

The men giving it their all!

Uncle Scott, Lisa, Uncle Eric, Aunt Laura.

Justin, feeling sick :( Savanah & Emily

The weekend before Christmas we always go to Odgen to have a family day with Jeff's sister's family and Grandmummy so on Christmas day we can be home. In the afternoon we went to Grandpa & Grandma Bills' for Christmas dinner and a gift exchange.

Oktoberfest

Jeff, Justin, Emily, Savanah
Every year our family tries to make it to Oktoberfest at Snowbird. This year we decided to take a tram ride to the top of them mountain. It was a little scary (I think just for me!) but the view from the top was amazing. Jeff & Lisa (baby Ethan due in one month!!!)

Savanah & Ashlyn braving it in the water!

I was seven months pregnant with Ethan so I avoided most swim suit pictures! I could bearly get a life jacket around my tummy, but still had fun riding the jet ski's with the kids.

Jeff and Justin

Grandpa & Grandma Bills took the family to Deer Creek for a day of jet skiing. We had so much fun and the kids couldn't get enough of riding on the lake.
