SUMMER FUN

I've really enjoyed reading everyone's summer recaps on their blogs. It's so easy to catch up that way and feel connected even though we're all busy going in different directions this summer. I've attached pictures with desciptions to fill you in on what our family's been up to.


Adam at our neighbor's birthday party. They had it at a Fire Station. What a great place for a bunch of 3-year-old boys!


Our friends, the Murphys, were in town from Nevada. They use to be in our ward, but moved about 3 years ago. Here's a picture of Jodi, Valynn, me, and Crysti having a BBQ at the park. We now have 16 kids between our 4 families!


Andrew had a business trip in Park City. I joined him for a couple days and left the kids with a young couple from our ward. This is the first time I've done that. It worked out great! I highly recommend it!

While going for a walk in Park City we looked up and saw shoes in the trees. Must be a Utah thing! ;-)


Here's where we stayed.



Alpine Slide - bring back any memories Utah girls???


Andrew taking a little rest on the 6-person chair lift. I've been skiing a long time and I've never seen such a large lift!



Here's a picture of "The Best Thing I Did This Summer" (i.e., joined a club with an outdoor swimming pool - worth every penny!)



My new favorite treat - Apple Pie Caramel Apple. They'll even cut it for you so it's not so messy to eat.



4th of July - watching fireworks from Grandma and Grandpa's backyard and wearing $5 Old Navy shirts!

Thanks for the update! I like the fire station birthday party. How does one book an event at a fire station? Do you have to be related to someone?

Devin and I have never taken a vacation without our kids. We are lame, lame, lame! I'm glad you had a good time.

So good to see some new material! :) Isn't it so good to get out of town by yourself! You're actually a human being again. But the excitement only lasts a couple of days before you start missing those darn kids so much! I just have to know what club did you join and where did you find carmel apple pie!!?? You MUST share that treat!

There is nothing like a vacation without the kiddoes. I mean, I love them, love having them around, but the peace and quiet of a couple's get away really hits the spot sometimes. I'm glad you got a chance. Sounds like you had a great time!

Your summer looks like a hit so far! Way to go on the get away with Andrew. You are really such an adorable couple.

Looks like your summer is starting off well! So hard to blog when there is so much going on - but I'm glad you shared it with us. Hope Utah was fun. I thought of you being in Park City while I was down in Springville.

Looks like you are having a busy summer!! Lots of fun, too, I'm sure. I can't believe how much Adam is starting to look like Nicholas! Such cute kids!

Looks like you're having a great summer. The 4th of July picture is so adorable! Love those Old Navy shirts.

Great photos! That is cool the Murphy's were in town. It's funny how many Pullmanites have been/are in Moran Prairie. Glad you got a little vacation. Tell Ally I'm waiting for her next posting.

A birthday party at a firestation is a cute place to have a party. Adam should have a party there.

That is funny Andrew slept on the ski lift.

I love the pool that we joined.
