Today is Aunt Heidi's Birthday! Happy Birthday Heidi! We are going to celebrate and go to the pool. This was Masons first time at the pool so I am excited to share our pictures of his first time swimming. Lydia was so anxious to go, we had a lot of fun. Thanks Aunt Julie for letting us come to your pool!
The New Addition
On Friday August 8, 2008 Jared, Lydia and Mason drove to Kaysville to pick up our new Pug Memphis! He was born on January 16, 2008 and is very good with the kids. Lydia was saying all night that she was so happy to have her new dog Memphis. Today we gave him a bath, gone on a few walks and played with a few of his new toys. He is really a fun and entertaining puppy. He really loves his kennel and is getting use to his new bed. I think that today we had played with him so much that he has gone right to bed without a sound. Boy hope he can keep up with our crazy days!
Dunford Reunion 2008
We had a great time in Bear Lake this summer. The Dunford Reunion was held in Bloomington, ID which is one of the small towns by Bear Lake.
We hiked up to Bloomington Lake which is a glacier lake, so it was really cold but the boys who got in the water had a blast. Lydia tells me that when she gets bigger she is going to jump in like Tyler, Ross and Cooper did off the side of the mountain, which I believe since she has absolutely no fear!
We had fun staying at the condo and Lydia got to play in the pool with her Papa Randy while the rest of us took a nap! The hike made us all tired. We also had a little party to celebrate Austin Birthday while we were there. It was late but there is always time for a party!
Our last day there we went to Bear Lake. Lydia collected seashells and Mason laughed every time a wave would hit his feet. We loved our visit to the lake and had lots of fun at the reunion.

Mount Tinpanogoes
On Saturday July 27, 2008 Jared and a few
Co-workers/Friends hiked to the top of Mount Timpanogos. They started up the trail at 4:30 a.m. and made it there about 9:30 a.m. This was the challange that Jared has wanted to achieve for a while now and had completed successfully in about 12 hours on a hot sunny day. The temperture on top of the mountain for that day was a steamy 55 degrees. They ran into two moose not to far off the trail just as the sun was rising. They also spotted mountain goats resting off the cliffs of the mountainside. It was an adventure that Jared will never forget and is proud to say, "I made it to the top of Timpanogos Mountain!" By the way Lydia said that she spotted daddy's white shirt on the mountain as we would show her which mountain he was climbing.

4th of July
For the 4th of July we headed up to Island Park! We were so excited to go on vacation for 5 days! We had a blast with the family and made good memories while we were there.
One that Lydia will remember is our stop at the gas station to get Jared a fishing license and getting attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes. Mason was content as could be as Lydia and I were swatting and waving blankets to make them go away.
This was the first time my Grandma and Grandpa Freeman had seen Mason. He greeted them with his warm smiles and had lots to tell them. Mason and Grammies had their fun together camping and going for walks and talking with the other families around. He was a good baby for it being his first camping trip! Aunt Carrie even came up and was giving him tips on things. Aunt Katie and Uncle Richard were practicing (help taking care of Mason) with Mason for when their baby arrives in January. I think the one who really was really a big helper with Mason was Morgan. He helped me give Mason a bath and get him dressed he even changed Masons diaper!
One thing we noticed was that everyone around us knew who Lydia was and they all got a kick out of her. Especially her Papa Paul, they got along really well. Papa Paul teased Lydia but she was too smart for he own good and would always come back with something to make him smile. Usually if Lydia was wandering she would be at Grandma Freeman’s trailer hanging out having breakfast or just talking with Grandma.
Bumpa went on the ride of his life with Lydia that he will never forget! She took over and drove the 4-wheeler and almost threw Bumpa off the back! She did the same thing with Jared and almost ran into a tree. Lydia has no fear.
Lydia was Patrics shadow most of the time while we were there to. Everywhere Patric went Lydia went to.
Jared was up early in the morning determined to catch his fish that broke his line last year. It is out there somewhere! He did catch 2 fish but they were too small to eat so he had to release them. Jared and I also went on 4wheeler rides and a lot of walks with Mason and Lydia. On the fourth we watched the fireworks at Jacobs Ranch and also the show they had on the lake. Mason and Lydia liked the bright lights.
Julie and Katie had a good game of no bears were out tonight and had the kids pretty entertained. While Traci and I enjoyed the campfire perfecting our smores.
The best part was one of the biggest Slumber parties ever. There was Mom, Dad, Carrie, Julie, Jared, Me, Richard, Katie, Traci, Mason, Lydia, Morgan and Patric all together in the trailer! Yes literally wall to wall people!
