Sisters...

I wasn't sure that i wanted to post these pictures, but then I remembered the fun we had and thought...ah, what the heck!
Me, Mari, and Aly really wanted to hang out while I was in Salt Lake, but with busy work schedules, and crazy kids to work around the only time we could get together was 10:00 pm. So we went to Village in for some yummy desserts, and then went to see the new Oquirh Hills Temple. It was beautiful. We couldn't get ourselves to leave. So for two hours we sat across the street from the temple laughing and taking pictures. We were very entertaining. Just ask the temple security gaurds. They sat in their little golf carts watching us and no doubt laughing their heads off. On second thought they may have thought we were drunk. Who knows?!? All I know is that I had a blast and enjoyed spending time with Mari and Aly.

Fun in the sun...

Speniding time with cousins is one of the best parts of growing up! Jayce and Alek spent last week hanging out with Colin, Brandt, Kathleen, Josslynn, and Bri. It was a blast to watch them play and laugh. They spent 2 deays of chasing each other, laughing, eating, lighting fire works, not sleeping, and just being kids.

We are excited to be able to spend more time with them in August.

Oh, What do you do in the summer time?

Wow, I can't believe we are half way through summer. Time flies so fast!
I posted some pics of our adventure so far this summer. We have enjoyed spending time at the zoo with Amy, Emma, Maggie, and my dad, shopping with Aly, cave exploring, and enjoyed a perfect weekend with Tim, Suzanne, Landon, Cortnie, Brennan, and Gabe.
I would say our summer has been next to perfect, and we aren't done yet!

I hope you enjoy the pics I have posted. I had them all neatly arranged, but then when I posted them they went all funky.

Arrow of light

For those of you unfamiliar with cub scouts, the Arrow of Light is the highest award you can earn in the Cub Scout program. Jayce, Alek, and their friend Aaron have worked very hard to earn their Arrow of Light. It has been a journey, and an adventure but they did it. We are very proud of each of them.
Of course we can't forget their scout leader that have helped make this possible. The boys have had great leader that has encouraged them and pushed them. We are grateful for his hard work and dedication. Thank you Heath!We would also like to thank Pappy, Grandma, Mari, and Aly for making the day special for Jayce and Alek. It was fun to have you here for the weekend. Jayce and Alek are lucky to have such great grand-parents and aunts that are willing to drive to Vernal from Salt Lake to show support for our family. Thank you for the flashlights. The boys haven't stopped playing with them yet.

Most important, we need to thank Grant. He is a great dad and example. Grants is highly decorated as a scout and loves the scout program he encourages Jayce and Alek to do their best and to earn as many badges and pins as possible. He is always teaching them. I am thankful for his knowledge of the program. For some reason I can't wrap my head around it. He keeps me and the boys straight. Lucky for the boys Grant is their next scout leader.

Memorial Day 2009

We spent our memorial day weekend camping.

The feel, and smell of the mountains is so relaxing.

Our family spends as much time as we can during the summer months in the mountains. Being there brings a sense of peace and relaxation. Something we could all use from time to time.

Our camping trip was fun, and I can't wait for our the next time we go.
