End of Summer update!

We decided to post some recent pictures on Nixon because we haven't updated this for a while and he is so cute. Over the past weekend we went to Sweet, Idaho for a family reunion with Mallory's family.

Nixon thought he would show Liv what's up by completely owning her on the blanket during the picnic.

I'm pretty sure we've reached the three count little guy... she's pinned.

And now she's trying to tap out. Way to go Nixon!!

My oldest sister, Alicia, took some cute pictures this past week as well. Her two kids, Ellie and Lucas, are on the left while Jaxon (son of my step-brother, Mike) is on the right.
I like how Jaxon is the only one actually looking at the camera while the rest are smiling at the crazy faces I was making behind my sister. They also were all eating cookies and have the crumbs all over their faces.

Yeah... he's a drooler. He is teething and has his two bottom incisors in (24, 25).

Below are some portraits that were taken on July 30th. He was five months old then. (Click to enlarge).

After the "treasure chest" pictures were taken, Nixon left a little treasure for the photographers by peeing all over.

Pinky: "Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight?"

Brain: "The same thing we do every night, Pinky - try to take over the world!"

Holley Turns 50!!

These past two months have been pretty crazy. Nixon is getting bigger and cuter. He is also starting to be even crazier. He pooped in the bathtub.

Mallory has been coaching the Borah High girls JV summer league basketball team. They used to suck, but have been improving steadily since Mallory joined the staff. Logan has also gotten a job. He works for a marketing company that is making a magazine for Boise State Athletics. It's called The Blue. It's pretty much awesome. You can check out our website at thebluemag.com. He gets to work with Bart Hendricks too (see below).

Anyway, this past week Holley (Mallory's mom) turned 50! So... we had a big Mexican fiesta to celebrate. Here are some pics:

No... that's not Adam Morrison and Inigo Montoya at the party... it's just Mallory and Amy!

I think we look pretty sexy as a mustachioed family!

A glimpse at what we have been up to...

Nixon hanging with cousin Liv...

Logan and Mallory graduating...
Life has been pretty crazy with Nixon.  With the move back to Boise, we are loving hanging out with the family and spending time with Nixon.  We will post more soon with details about Logan's job and everything.

Zion National Park

Last week we went down to southern Utah to relax.  We played golf in St. George, visited family in Las Vegas, and toured Zion National Park.  The weather was perfect the entire trip.  It was a great way to close out our stay in Utah as we both graduate from BYU this week and will move back to Boise.  Here are some pics of the trip:

Also, here are some more pictures of Nixon because he is so adorable:

Logan's skills as a father

This is what happens when Logan tries to dress Nixon.  He doesn't have much experience putting on the onesies...

Nixon is a very gassy little man.  We caught the end of one of his gassy smiles : )
He makes the cutest little face in the middle of his hungry cry.
I just added this one in because he is so precious.
I love this picture of Logan and Nixon napping together... so tender.
Logan really is great with Nixon.  Every time Logan gets home from class or work he always has to cuddle the little guy.  It has been amazing watching those two get to know each other.  

Nixon through the lens of Alicia Lowry

My sister, Alicia, is a really good photographer and she took some pics of Nixon today that were really cute.  We wanted to share them with everyone.  He is three weeks, four days old.

Thank you Alicia for the photos!

More Nixon Pictures

Just thought you might want to see more pictures of Nixon. He is such a good baby. He is awake a lot more these days. He loves to just hang out and stare at you with his cute little face... that's all he can do at this point!
