We had an incredible and busy summer! Our whole family was together (all but Ben - he started a new job and couldn't take the time off). Matt and Karen and the kids were here from Shanghai, Brett and Melanie were here from Sacramento and Ali and Nixon were here from Seattle! Here are some of the things we did:
We Celebrated Birthdays!
Ethan turned 2 and Erik turned 12!
Hope you have a very special year!
Abbi turned 9 and she celebrated with her dad who also had a birthday!
Hope both of you have a super exciting year!
And this big guy, Austin, also celebrated his 5th birthday!
Hope your year is full of fun surprises!
We also celebrated birthdays for these little cuties!
Madison turned 6 and Sophie turned 4!
Josh will turn 9 in December but because we won't see him,
we celebrated for him as well!
Hope you have a super-duper year!
Happy Birthday to all of you! We had fun celebrating all of these special birthdays!
S'mores and Fireworks!
We had fun celebrating the 4th of July!
There were lots of fireworks, sparklers and of course, delicious s'mores!
Havin' Fun With The Cousins!
It's always fun when all of the cousins are together. They really have a great time!

There is just something fun about blowing bubbles!
We had a happy day!
Blowing bubbles aways makes for a fun afternoon!

And what's more fun than husking corn!

5K Run at Sugarhouse Park!
It is starting to be a tradition that whenever we are together they like to run in a 5K race. This year Matt, Melanie, Annie, Ali, Kevin and Megan all ran in the race at Sugarhouse Park. They all did really well and all made it to the finish line. It was a hot day in July and really sunny but they all enjoyed it! We are so proud of all of you. Way to keep in shape!

We played "spoons" and really had a great time.
It got down to only Matt and Annie still in the game.
Annie played the game like a champ and tricked Matt on the very last hand!
He had to bow to the "Queen" of Spoons! He was really taken by surprise by her strategy!
Needless to say, Annie won!
Kevin and Aaron
My handsome guys!
Kevin, Matt and Dad.
It was a great summer! We had a lot of fun together!
This summer was a lot of fun. We did so many things in such a short amount of time... it flew by. I loved having everyone in town and being able to get together. And, yes, I am the QUEEN OF SPOONS!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures brought back good memories! Such a fun trip...now we can't wait for November!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I missed out on S'mores, fireworks, Charlie's Angels, and Spoons?! Apparently the "we" did not include me!
ReplyDeleteIt was a very fun visit and I had a great time. Seeing the 5K pictures motivated me to get out and run. So glad we get to make a lot of memories every time we are together!
Awwww...it was a fun summer. So many sweet memories. Too bad it had to end! Ali, you missed a KILLER round of spoons. Annie smoked Matt and it was awesome to behold! Next year! :D
