We went to California where Ryan was Deputized and given the right to Marry Rob and Melissa.  It was a beautiful wedding with no spared expense.  Ryan made us laugh, cry and people really thought he was a Reverend.  Breghten took his responsibility as the ring bearer very seriously and later hooked up with the flower girl.  We are so happy for them and blessed to have such wonderful family.  

July has been a busy month full of fireworks with the Watsons, 

Breghten's birthday party, and Grandma Duke's must have dinosaur cake.  I have a close-up of the cake; but my camera went all blurry weird on me. 

Breghten totally loves his new bed.  The first night he slept in it he was blown away and felt special.  It was a bit of a project painting it black; but worth it.  And when I say project, everything is a project when you have little kids.  I just want you to appreciate my efforts. 

Oquirrh Temple open house

When we were in Utah we got to go to the Oquirrh open house.  The boys loved it and behaved themselves for the most part.  When we can home I asked Breghten if he liked the Temple he sounded disappointed when he said, "I thought I was going to be baptized."  He's got some good goals.

Here are some pics of us at My Grandma and Grandpa Reeders home in Colorado.  They recently built this house at the base of a mountain where hourses run  by and they keep chickens.  The boys just loved everything, especially the chicken coop; as you can see Breghten thinks it's just his size.  It was really fun to have Grandma's brother, sister, and sister-in-law come for a visit as well.

Here are some Lawson moments.  Trying on Emily's swim suit, charming Ashleigh, and applying his own sunscreen are just a few of his recent activities.

Ryan turned 31!  I tried to make it extra special for him because last year I was gone for his 30th.  We decided to get him a map wheel to help map out his long rides, and made sure he didn't do any work.  We made his favorite cake, German Chocolate; but I think he enjoyed my berry pies the most.  Ryan and I topped off the day with "Star Trek," which would have been more appricated by my dad instead of me.  Mission was accomplished when he told me, "It was a perfect birthday."
