Since I last updated the blog, we have taken his 3rd and 4th month pictures. We have also been to Utah for our Summer vacation.

Utah was really fun. This was Lesley's first year not going to Lake Powell. She really missed going, but it was impossible to be apart from Nolan because he is still breast feeding and she would miss him too much. We spent a lot of time with my family. My family had a ton of fun seeing, loving, and playing with Nolan. I was also able to give Nolan his first haircut.

While in Utah, we saw the grandparents, nephews, and friends. We celebrated my mom's birthday. I hiked to the peak of Timponogos with my 3x mission companion Zion. It was a long, hot, and challenging hike. The view from the top was amazing. The peak still freaks me out with the high elevation and drop-offs. 

We spent a lot of time camping--3 days with my parents, and 3 days at the Miles' family reunion. It was Nolan's first time camping in a tent. Lesley and I helped my dad and brother work on another structure next to our cabin. It was fun to work on that. 

I left the family reunion a day early because I had to go back to work.  I was in Utah for a week and a half. Lesley stayed almost another two weeks with her sister. It was miserable for me to be without my little family, especially Nolan. He grew up so much in the time he was away. 

He loves to talk and be heard. He loves to smile. He has recently discovered how to roll from his back to his belly. He'll wake us up at night screaming because he can't get back to his back.

Anyway, Lesley and I have picked up a couple decorating projects that we will be restoring in the coming days. I'll post pictures when we get them. 

Until next time,

Parker
