Utah Highlight Reel

We had an opportunity of a lifetime

this summer when Jake was allowed to do 

an away rotation at Primary Children's

Medical Center in Salt Lake City.

He worked in the Emergency Department

and had a great experience, not to mention an

awesome schedule. We stayed with my family, 

and I loved spending time with them and

having so much help with Corbett.  

I've already blogged about some of 

our adventures, and I documented most of 

our trip in this album on Facebook.

Here are some other notable highlights
(although not at all an exhaustive list):

Corbett's cousins were

so excited to meet him.

Jake finally took me

on a motorcycle ride.

Twice!

We went swimming.

Jake spent some quality time

with his dad, Don.

We helped Uncle Dave

buy a new car.

Corbett learned to roll.

We enjoyed the great outdoors.

We caught up with friends from
Orlando who now live in Utah.

We dominated at
game night with friends...

...despite what the opposing
team would tell you.

And although I hate to mention it,
Jake was ecstatic to be at this epic
(and unbelievable) BYU-Utah game.

What a trip.

In short, we took advantage of

all that Utah has to offer, and we look

forward to returning again soon!

Poulter Stupid Human Tricks

It started off with Dallin catching

puffs of whip cream in his mouth.

Then came requests for Andrew's 

water bottle trick (he can empty

one in about 3 seconds!).

It made us wonder what other

"stupid human tricks" the Poulter

family had up our sleeves.

Jake showed off his juggling skills.

Craig wowed us with his muscles.

Cameron has all sorts of

body contortions.

Cade made us laugh with his 

fried egg impression.

A crowd favorite was definitely

watching Dallin eat a bowl of cereal

out of the "hole" in his chest.

All I could come up with was

making a snake with my hands.

Corbett wanted to contribute too,

so he managed to conjure up a blowout 

that went through his diaper, his clothes, 

his blanket, and on to Grandma's lap!

She was sweet and didn't mind.

After everyone else went to bed,

Adam, Dallin and Jake stayed up 

and discovered some fun tricks 

involving the camera and a laser.

There is always fun

in the Poulter home.

Hogle Zoo

I've been to Hogle Zoo many times,
but this was definitely the nicest I have ever
seen it. We enjoyed the renovations and all of
the animals that were out and about.

This little monkey had a great time.

Monkey Butts!

If their fathers' friendship is 

any indication, then these two kiddos 

are destined to be buddies.

We got together while in Utah and

took a LOT of pictures of these two.

My favorites are the babies 

in their matching monkey outfits.

 Monkey butts!

They were both learning to roll, and 

were so clever to roll away from each other.

We're excited for baby Andrew and the

rest of his family to come visit next month.

Expect more pictures.  :)

Andy + Brittany

After 9 years of dating,

these two lovebirds finally got hitched.

Once again, Corbett was not
too thrilled about getting dressed up
and going to a wedding.

But he perked up after a little food.

Don't the Deines boys look dapper?

I loved the bow tie and suspenders theme.

The wedding was at Noah's and

everything was so beautiful.

Congratulations

Uncle Andeets and Aunt Brittles!

Grandma Claudia's Epic Year

2012 has been quite a year for Jake's mom.

In May, she became a grandma.

In June, she turned 60.

In July, she bought a brand new

Mustang Convertible.

In August, she retired after working

for 30 years as a nutritionist at the 

University of Utah Hospital.

The very next week, she got married!

The wedding was lovely and we were

glad the timing worked out for us to be there.  

We are very happy for Claudia and for

all of the good things in her life right now.

(Some of us happier than others)
