Saturday morning in our new house

We're getting organized and settled in. Finally. Evan's making playdough pizza with his friend  and Olivia is trying out my old roller blades. Emi woke up then went back to bed. We're excited to be in our new house.

Roasting marshmallows

We're enjoying nice weather and a great view while Evan and Sam roast marshmallows. Does life get better?

At the cabin in Sundance

We made it to the cabin in Sundance. It's amazing!  Pardon all the pictures but I can't get over how cool this place is. The kids are having a blast. It'll be nice to relax after this past week of packing. Now that everything is moved into our garage the move next Monday shouldn't be too hard.

Woah, he made it to the top of the hard route! I can't even do that one.

Evan climbing

Handsome men

I bought Evan his first 3-piece suit this week. He picked one just like Taylor's. And their ties almost match too.

A few pictures from horse camp

They had a great time. Olivia got a trophy too but wasn't as excited to pose for a picture with it as Evan was.

Big bend river

We went camping with several families in the ward and our friends Rob and Shauna who just moved here. I only got a few pics. It was fun but hot!

And here's Olivia

Higher than the homemade bungee

Dropping the kids off at horseback riding camp this morning

Evan woke up at 6 this morning asking every 5 minutes if its time to go yet. They had a blast yesterday.

4th of July

 

We went to the Woodberry's lake for the 4th and Rob and Shauna came too since they were visiting us.  I didn't get any boat pics but we all went knee/wake boarding or solemn skiing.  We also got a good game of volleyball going and that was fun.  No fireworks this year- they're banned because of all the fires. But we had a really great time playing outside all day with friends!

Emi went to girls camp this past week and had a great time.  I took her to the airport last night to go to Provo for the BYU volleyball camp.  She's pretty excited about that, should be a fun experience for her.  

Problem: summer boredom
Solution: rubber medical tubing tied to the balcony above
OK, this was not my idea. But I have to admit, quite clever of the kids. No injuries so far.  Don't worry- they're jumping up from the floor, not off the balcony. This has provided hours of fun today.

At Home depot....

We're finally going to finish the walkway on the side of the house. We built half of it last year, then lost steam. It's been a busy year.

Me at my favorite place in town. Lake McIntosh

Karna and me after a morning 22-mile bikeride

Karna is amazingly fast. I could barely keep up. I've got some getting-in-shape to do. But I do love riding.

Olivia and Emma after their big dance performance

Evan's favorite dirt mound

Sunset pool

We're at sunset pool for our first swim of the summer. Im glad I got the pop up shelter.

First day of Summer

It's the first day of summer and we're having a party. But not an outside water party as planned because its cold and overcast. But luckily we have lots of crafts to do.

Bikeride

We just got Evan and Olivia new bikes so we came for a ride around McIntosh lake. Emi stayed home, she's sick. Taylor's playing volleyball. Its so beautiful here!

Taylor's birthday card

The kids and I had fun making this. And Taylor got a kick out of it.
