Summer

This summer has flown by. I don't feel like I've done too many fun things. Usually we go camping, hiking, fishing, boating etc almost every weekend during the summer. In past years we had to cram it all in before football season started. This year was different because we were totally focused on the house and the sport of choice changed.

Looking back I know I didn't do a ton of fun things but my family did.

Zack went to scout camp, a priesthood boating trip and pioneer trek. He and Ty also went to St. George with G & G Weir where they hiked, swam, and went to Tuachan. He took golf lessons with his friend every Tuesday morning and went golfing with Grandpa and Erin. He worked for Greg Mon-Fri where he made a little money and opened his own checking account, padded his savings and learned how quickly cash can disappear. He also helped work on the house. Whew, he had a busy, fun and productive summer!


Ty spent most of his summer playing rugby. Matt was his coach and they both became a little obsessed, but he never got hurt too bad so we have to call it a success. He made a great new friend that he hung out with at Cherry Hill, Surf & Swim and rugby. He also went camping with his scout group and a quick trip to Bear Lake with our family.


Matt worked on the house, played/coached/watched rugby, went on scout camp outs with the boys, played golf, and took me to Tuachan with our good friends to see Sinbad.


I registered the kids for school, ran a 5k with Matt, took a month off from the gym, pulled staples out of the floor, washed walls, drove Zack to work, bought things for the boys outings, and sold a house. I have been busy just not the summer fun kind like the boys.

Here are some fun things we DID manage to do as a family this year.

We celebrated the 4th of July in Kaysville where we saw Grandma Willard in the parade and hung out with our cousins.

We made homemade ice cream by shaking a plastic bag full of good things.


We watched fireworks.


We went to Bear Lake.



Can't find a hat, just use a diaper!


And attended a couple of weddings.


My favorite guy!

We had a great, productive, busy, fun, family filled, work filled summer.

We hope to sneek in a trip to the mountains before its over!
