Exciting news!!

A few months ago I published the exciting news of my mom's engagment to Russ...now it's my dad's turn! Thats right, my dad announced to us all on Friday night at the Bee's game that he and Donna were engaged!! We are all SO happy for him and LOVE Donna and her family and are very excited to welcome them all into the Brostrom clan.

Congrats Dad & Donna, we love you.

Cowboys & Cowgirls

How pretty is this site?Here is the REAL cowboy
Ethan wanted a little horsey ride when we got back, doesn't he look happy to be on a real pony :-)
Micah gettting ready for our ride...once we started riding, he no longer liked the idea. He said the horse was sweaty and it hurt his legs :-)
Oh well, he can find other hobbies :p

I'm not sure what I'm pointing at, probably all the cows wandering freely.

Don't I look like a real cowgirl :-)...actually it's only my 3 time ever on a horse. (& the first time hardly counted. ) I acutlaly strapped that pack around my waste like that so Micah wouldn't be so scared and could have something to really hold on to :-)

Thanks to Papa for taking us up on his horses...at least Aaron and I enjoyed it.

Beep Beep, I'm a Jeep

"Hey mom, I'm just going to take the jeep for a spin".
"Don't worry, we'll be fine...don't I look like I know what i'm doing? Big Brother want's a ride"
"No way dad, I got this".
Micah: "Oh great, will someone just get us home out of the heat?"

Lake Powell

We had quite an adventure down in Lake Powell this last week, but even with all the chaos, we had a good time.

My little Pianists




As I mentioned earlier, Micah got a new keyboard that he LOVEs to play, Ethan has noticed his brothers enthusiam, and any chance he gets, he makes a bee line for his brother's room to pound on his piano.

11 Cousins


Here is a picture of most of the Atwood grandkids.

Ethan 10 Months






Ethan is growing up so fast. Here are some pictures of him at 10 months. Some of the things he's doing now are; still not sleeping, getting 6 teeth to add to the 2 bottom teeth he already has, crawling, walking around things and generally getting into everything, communication by a myriad of grunts and points, biting...everything, clapping at everything, blowing through the corner of his mouth and breathing with a clenched jaw, and giving us a total cheeser' smile when he's happy. All in all, he's still a really good baby, he hasn't had any more ear infections (knock on wood) and he is learning new things everyday. Love you baby boy!

Big guns


I just thought I should post this picture of me shooting a big gun...you know for memories sake...as I'm sure it's never going to happen again :-) Actually, we were up at my aunt sue's for their Rees family reunion...and as part of their tradition, they shoot a lot of guns :-)

Mom's wedding






Last week my mom was married to Russel Ross in the Bountiful Temple. It was fun to see all of her siblings together (there are 6) and to have the chance to reverse the rolls and be the escort for my mom as she was married in the temple. They are really happy, and ready to start their new lives together. Here are a few pictures outside of the temple.
