Ian's Birthday

Ian had his 2nd birthday while we were in Utah.  We decided to wait until we got back to Las Vegas to do his cake and presents, but I made sure we got out to do something fun to celebrate on his actual birthday.  I decided to take the kids to Bridal Veil Falls up Provo Canyon.  They had a lot of fun (so much fun that I promised them that we'd go back again before our trip was over).

Walking on the bridge looking at the Provo River

There was a boardwalk at the base of the falls (which the water went under to go into the river).  I told the kids we could take off our shoes and walk around in the water.  The water was freezing cold but they both wanted to get in

Ann picking up some of the rocks for her and Ian to toss back in

It was very bright and sunny when we went, so it made taking pictures a little difficult

Even though the water was so cold and the rocks kind of hurt to walk on, Ann still wanted to walk around in the water

Ian preferred to be carried instead of walking on his own (the cold didn't bother him so much, but he didn't like walking on the rocks)

Climbing around

He ended up just sitting on a rock to pick up little rocks to toss back into the water

There was this cool tree by the bridge and Ann wanted a picture under it

Me and my big boy!  I can't believe we've had him in our family for 2 years now.  The time has flown by so quickly

That evening I wanted to take some pictures of Ian in Tom's aunt's backyard with all of the pretty flowers.

My sweet little boy.  Ian is such a sweet, cuddly, delightful little boy.

Must touch flowers

I asked Ann to take a few pictures of me with Ian.  This was after he'd run up to me to give me a hug

He wanted to just run to me instead of just standing by me.  It's a game he likes to play (run and give me a hug, then run away and run back for another hug, etc).
