Catch Up-

I haven't posted about what we've been up to for a long time- here's my attempt to catch up on the fun summer we've been having-

In June we got to run in the Ragnar Wasatch Back with Matt's work. It was a little crazy but a lot of fun! During Matthew's last leg, running early in the morning he had a moose cross the road in front of him coming into Heber.



Playing in the sprinklers-



Moving in a new couch & loveseat from our neighbors basement...

We were so excited to have a loveseat in our long living room but turns out their dog had a favorite side on both of the couches. After much cleaning and spraying with Nature's Miracle the smell was still there so...

I went to girls' camp for a few days and when I came home Owen & Matthew had a big surprise for me- new, clean couches! I appreciate them so much more after trying so hard to clean the other ones :). And they have passed the Sunday afternoon nap test.

A trip to the river-




4th of July!

Ava's first piggy tails- She was not a fan of getting these in. Whenever she sees an elastic or goes by the cupboard where I have bows & hair stuff she points to her head, gets a sad face and says, "ow!"
Slip n' Slide action-


For the fireworks that night I think we started a new tradition- we rode our bikes up to an awesome little spot. Ava fell asleep on the way and slept through the whole thing. On our way up there, Owen said, "This is my favorite thing to ride bikes to fire works!" Matthew even figured out a way for us to bring our camp chairs with us and of course these tiny little boom boxes to hear the music. It was totally awesome.

So sweet about the couches! How exciting. Way 2 go on the race! I ran two 5ks this month, but nothing compared to your awesome relay race.

That sounds like fun for the fireworks. My kids would have loved that.

You already know I'm killer amazed at your Wasatch Back run. I would have made it...hmm..probably a block. I love your awesome new couches, and your pictures of the river are so fun. Good times this summer.

They are all great pictures but the one of Matt and Owen on the couch asleep was great; like father like son.
