Trip to Utah and Driggs- July 2013

Our trip started out with a 15K on the 4th of July.  Savannah had no problem busting our 9 miles.  I was seriously sucking wind.  The whole altitude thing killed me.  We ran with Amy and Brooklyn Billings.  It was a great way to start a fun day.

 We took a 4-wheeler ride up Green Canyon.  It was fun to show the kids the mountains and hike up to a cave.  Logan was in little boy heaven.  

 We went to Bear Lake to see the Juanito Bandito play at Pickleville.  We were just a bit early, so we stopped for a go-cart ride, raspberry milkshake, and pictures by the lake.

 This is a picture of Emma Grace and Chloe.  Born on the same day.  We are missing Mason in this picture.  He was born the same day.

 We then took a road trip to Driggs to visit Granny Coburn.  The kids LOVED her tree almost as much as I do.  Oh how I love my Granny.  She is incredible.  It was so fun to be with her, at her house with my kids.  We went to visit Grandads grave, and to the Drug Store.  It was a great trip.  The kids are asking to go back.

 Logan fell in love with Granny's kitty.  Too bad Mike HATES cats.  My cousin Amanda came over with her kiddos to do an art project.  It was so much fun to catch up with her.  We took a selfie with Granny.  She is such a good sport.

 When we got back to Cache Valley 7-11 was having a free Slurpee day.  Well, we couldn't pass on that!!

 The public pool is always fun.  My kids are incredible swimmers and its funny to see everyone freak out that I'm ok with them jumping off the diving board by themselves.

 One last adventure.  The trampoline park.  Hours of  fun.

 We got to the airport in plenty of time.  Too bad the airline didn't call me to say that they had delayed our flight 5 hours!!!

It was a great trip.  The kids were exhausted and ready to go home.  The highlight for me was visiting Granny.

Savannah Goes to Trek- June 2013

Because Savannah is 14, she got to go with the youth of our stake to reinact the Mormon Trek into the Salt Lake Valley.  Nan had a blast!  And, she was by far the cutest pioneer on the trail.

swim team for all June 2013

Swim team is something our family has done in the summer since Savannah was 6.  It takes up all of June and into July.  But, my kiddos are A+ swimmers.  This year, finally, Emma Grace and Logan were able to participate.  They have been going to practice every morning since they were born and this year they finally got to get in the water!  It was tough, but by the end of the season, they were both able to swim the full length of the pool by themselves!

All of the kids did great.  Nan LOVES swim team.  This year Alyssa had some anxiety issues with it, but she was able to pull it together.  Emma Grace and Logan were awesome!  The meets are super late, but we just took them home as soon as they were finished with their events.  

The Grayson ward was well represented.  The mormons make up a huge chunk of the team.  Go Mormons!
