The Close of Summer


I've had a few people ask me what we've done this summer.  So....I went through some of my pictures and chose random ones as a sampling for you.  Many of these deserve full posts of their own (like the yard), but I'm pretty proud of myself for posting at all.  :)


Cub Scout Camp.  Daniel and I are Cubmasters.  (Technically, I'm the assistant.)  And I know it's really hard to see the resembelance between Adam and I.


I made a bed frame.  It has a mattress now and some awesome bedding.  Maybe I'll show you sometime.


We swam lots in our backyard pool.  (This pic is of the first time.)


Some people in our neighborhood threw a crazy awesome children's parade on the 4th complete with firetruck spraying down the whole street.


Our backyard was finished. 


We went to the Draper Amphitheatre a few times.


Isaac has his first scout over-nighter. That kid is growing up.


We visited a friend's honey operation in Mendon (by Logan).  I took that photo that I plan to paint sometime.


We had a few backyard barbeques, including one night were I got to stay up with some of my siblings and play games.  So fun!


We saw this turtle in Snow Canyon while on a very short trip to St. George.


Sarah started gymnastics.


We saw new things during the Parade of Homes.


We had a extended family reunion.  This is me with my two sisters, Lynea and Leslie at said reunion.  Lynea and her family just finished the transition from Seattle to Kamas.  I visited her in Kamas today. 

This summer has been good and full.  I swear my life is only getting busier as my kids grow.  For some reason I had this notion that it would slow down.  So not true!
