Family Reunion

On August 14th and 15th we had our annual Burton K. Satchwell family reunion. On day one we had a BBQ and games.

Playing the Peter's version of jeopardy and a family trivia game.

Jeremy, William, and Ian.

Jackson and his ice cream bar.

Grandma and baby Carrigan.

Jeremy

After playing our games, my grandma and grandpa got to share their testimonies and words of wisdom with us.

For day two, we played games and watched a movie on the big screen in Lincoln Elementary's gym.


Here's a video clip of everybody playing scooter soccer. Fun!

My amazing mom played every game all the way to the end.

Ian, Linette, and William go after the ball in scooter soccer.


This clip shows a game where there are two circles walking opposite directions. One partner is in each circle, and when the music stops you have to find your partner and sit down. The last partnership down is out.

Two months old!

Carrigan had her two month check-up on August 13th. She was 7 lbs 5 ozs and 20 inches long at birth, and she now is 11 lbs 3 ozs and 23 inches long.

Band-aids from her immunizations. She's definitely a screamer, didn't like it one bit!

She has a cute smile, and now that she's figured out how, she smiles all the time. What a sweet little girl!

Happy Birthdays!

Thorin turned 3 on August 4th and Ian turned 17 on August 9th. We gave them a combined celebration on August 10th. I can't believe Thorin's getting so old! I love watching him grow and learn, and I just know he's going to be an amazing man when he grows up.

Thorin picked his own cake. He's a boy after my own heart...he picked straight chocolate. Of course the frosting is that irresistable kind with the chewy rainbow chips.

Ian, the non-conformist, had a chocolate silk pie instead of cake. Thorin just had to make sure he got all his candles out.

I about died when I found this Aggie shirt at Wal-Mart, so I just had to get it. It's easy to find UofU or BYU stuff, but you rarely see USU. Go Aggies!

It was a struggle to potty train Jackson, and we were hoping Thorin would be much easier, especially with his big brother's example, but of course we aren't so lucky. Thorin is a die-hard Cars fan, so we hope this potty seat motivates him to use the potty!

iTunes...what else?

Bubble mower....for all those times he wants to help Daddy mow the lawn.

Ian's weakness...orange soda.

Happy Birthday boys!

Handcart Days

Bountiful city puts on a little fair called Handcart Days every year for Pioneer Day. We take the boys every year, and they have lots of fun.

We started out with the ponies. Thorin was a little shy of his guide, so he clung to Jeremy's arm the whole time.

Jackson's guide had him around the circle and done so fast that I couldn't even get a picture of him riding.

The giant shark slide.

Bounce house

Swings

Obstacle course

Teacups

Lunch!

Carrigan was so good! It was really hot, but she just slept through everything.

July 24th Parade

Bountiful held a parade in celebration of Pioneer Day on July 23rd. Jeremy was working late, so I took Carrigan and the boys to the parade with my mom, sister, and brother. They had a great time!The boys were given some guitars, and every time a float came by that had music playing, they would pick up their guitars and rock out!

Jackson

Go Braves!

Sorry it's fuzzy, but the pipe bands are always my favorites, and this one inparticular is a favorite because that first bagpiper is my high school calculus teacher, Mr. Morrill.

I love soccer! I have only had the chance to go to one Real game so far, but it was awesome! I wish I still played!

This is our stake's float. It won the highest award in the Days of 47 parade. Jeremy's all proud about it because he helped put it together.

Happy Anniversary!

We celebrated our 7 year anniversary on July 19th. We went out to dinner and a movie (that's about as exciting as it gets when you've got kids waiting at home), but I didn't get any pictures, so I'm posting some of our wedding pictures instead. It was lots of fun looking back and remembering what a special and sacred day it was 7 years ago!
