Str8....

Some kids count down the days until their birthday. Lately Warren and Wally have been counting down the days until they get their braces on. Well, today (August 19th) was their lucky day.
Warren looks happy to have his braces on. Warren decided to go Red and Blue for the Boston Red Soxs.

How many hands can Wally fit in his mouth?

We sure are going to miss Wally and his cute miss placed teeth. Wally had a difficult time deciding what color of elastics to put on. We decided to stick with the Red and Blue theme. Wally is looking forward to his four week check up so he can place his Red and Black bands on to support his Utah Utes.

Bennett is proud of his straight teeth.

Wally and Warren look good in braces.

Who doesn't like getting something new?

Warren has been golfing with the Junior Golf League at Eastbay. Warren looks forward to golfing every Monday morning with his buddies Ryan, Kyle, Nate and Tyler. Not only does he get to golf on Mondays but he can go golfing at Eastbay any day, any time. The hardest part is finding a ride to and from the course.
Warren took a liking to golf so well that Johnny decided to surprise him with a new set of Callaway golf clubs. Warren went golfing with his mom and as they were getting their clubs out of the car she said "If you don't want to use my club today, then give these clubs a try".

The Averett's decided to buy a trailer for all of their camping needs. We hope to go places we've never been and to make lasting memories with the ones we love.

For those of you that can't come and have a live tour with Wally, these pictures will have to do. We bought a 26 foot 1984 Nomad trailer that sleeps 8 comfortably.

I believe this is Rhiannon's side of the trailer. Who else uses the kitchen?

This is where we will be playing a lot of card games. The boys have already broke the trailer in by playing Battleship, Checkers, Uno, Connect Four and Phase Ten.

The boys favorite part of the trailer is the double bunk beds.

TEMPLE SQUARE

We've made it a tradition to go to Temple Square a week or two before school starts. We toured the temple grounds and ate lunch at "The Garden". Temple Square is also a great place to take pictures of the family.
The boys were excited about wearing their new school clothes to Temple Square. They didn't know that their mom wanted pictures of them without all their sports attire.

Warren didn't mind sharing his dimples with us today.

Bennett thought he needed to be paid for his super model skills. It's amazing what the kid will do for a dollar.

Wally loved making us laugh.

We stopped at the reflection pond for pictures and nobody fell in.

We love to see the Temple. We're going there someday.

We ordered fried pickles for an appetizer. Everyone liked them except Warren.

We even learned some table manners while eating at The Garden.

Who needs to like fried pickles when you have a meal big enough to feed a giant?

We know that our family is ETERNAL. (Oops, I posted the family picture where Warren wasn't looking at the camera).

Hiking Stewart Falls

With a couple weeks left of our summer break we decided we better make the best of what's left. We headed up Provo Canyon to Sundance to hike Stewart Falls. Stewart Falls is a 2 mile hike along a dirt path. The hike was easy enough that Bennett could make the hike all by himself. We really enjoyed hiking Stewart Falls.
Bennett just finished hiking to Stewart Falls and is waiting to cool off in the COLD water.

Warren was able to finish the hike as well. I think he could have made the hike twice before we all made it there. Warren loves hiking.

We couldn't resist walking behind the waterfall. Do you think the water was cold?

We all cooled off by taking a trip behind the waterfall. You can't walk behind a waterfall without getting ALL WET! Kyle and Travis Gage (the boy's friends) spent the day with us while their mom was at girls camp.
