Oliver has turned into quite the chatter box; he talks all the time! Here is a small sample of him asking about the flash on the camera.

Fireworks at Iwo Jima
We miss home soooooo-oo much around the holidays. Nothing beats smores, sparklers, and all you can eat and green jello salad with walnuts and cottage cheese, but fireworks on the national mall comes close. We can’t even buy snappers here in Virginia so we didn’t do any of our own fireworks (the crazier the people you live around, the crazier your laws get I guess.) Last year Jason and I went to watch the fireworks from the balcony where he works and it was INCREDIBLE-ash-in-your-hair-firework-fun, but too intense really for little kid’s ears so we stayed in Arlington to watch them this year.
Some the monkey sounds in this video are Oliver. He loved it.
Water Fun
Oliver loves playing at the local spray grounds. Almost every time we get in the car Oliver asks if we are going to go “play water”. As I was watching him play the other day, I was struck by how much he has grown in the past year.

Happy Father’s Day!
“Noble fatherhood gives us a glimpse of the divine attributes of our Father in Heaven.” – James E. Faust
To the men who have shown me what it means to be a father: Thank you. ?I hope to be like you someday.
Oliver’s Birthday
A month or so ago Oliver celebrated his 2nd birthday. It was a lot of fun! Kay found him a wonderful little piano at a local church rummage sale, and he loved it.

Finally – our trip, part 3
Our trip, part 2
For the second part of our trip, we drove from Orem to Idaho. The weather wasn’t as good as we had hoped for, but Oliver loved playing outside anyway. One of the best parts of the trip was that we finally saw Darin and Kryssi’s baby Lucas. He was adorable! Oliver liked playing with Lucas (probably because Lucas would let Oliver be the boss!).
