Here are some pictures from our family reunion in August. It sure was fun to spend a week with everybody. Schoot starts tomorrow and soccer starts on Tuesday. The madness is beginning.

It's been a wild and crazy summer for us this year. Genny and I made it through all of our triathlons in one piece. The kids have had a great time at all the reunions too. We have one last reunion this week at Meeks cabin dam. Then its back to school with school shopping, registration, football and soccer.

The kids doing the UBIC swim races. I don't think Paige is awake yet.

More races.

Summer is in full swing. We have finally painted the shed. Kyle and Spencer went on their scout camps and the girls had a fun week at Grandma Hughes' house. Genny and I did the Echo triathlon at Echo reservior. We are getting ready to go to the Gibson reunion at Kolob this weekend. Then next week we will go to Lyman to do their triathlon and then we will be home for two weekends in a row. After that its off to the Felkins reunion up by State line. Here are some pics of us so far this summer.

Yeah, its finally done.

Kyle and his Orchestra group in Denver.

I couldn't stop laughing at Kyle screaming.

Kyle was so happy to perform and go to Denver.

Kaylee's 11th B-day.

Well we've almost got our shed completely finished. We've had fun putting it together. I can now see why building a house takes alot longer then I thought. And its been another month since I last put anything on here. Kyle did really well at his Orchestra/band competition in Denver. It was a fun trip. They won 6 trophies and took 1st overall. You can see Kyle screaming at one of the rides at Elitch Gardens. School gets out this week and another summer of fun starts. We hope to see everyone at all the reunions.


You can hear Kyle screaming, too funny.

We tried to get this shot with the timer from the camera.

This is all the kids at one of the arches in Moab.

Kaylee and Paige walking to another arch.

Jason, Kristina, and Kaylee were trying to fly kites at Nana's house but the wind wasn't cooperating. The wind finally did come up, but so did the rain and we had to quit.

Monticello Temple.

I've fallen behind with the blog. I've included pics from our spring break to Nana's house and Arches National Park. Also you can see our latest project, building our new shed. Its been fun to put something together. Lucky for us the boards have been precut, all we had to do was put it together, which was tricky at times. Good thing Genny is good at this stuff. We hope to get the roof on this week. We our as busy as ever with soccer and orchestra and end of the school year stuff.

We got the floor down, that was pretty easy.

Our neighbors helped us get the walls up on Saturday. They stayed up, amazing!!

Kaylee was a really good helper with the shed. She does need practice with the hammer, but she's getting the hang of it.

This was last night at about 10:30. All that's left now is the roof.

Paige's flower she painted in Kindergarten.

This is how Paige fell asleep one night.

April Fools Dinner--mashed potatoes & gravy--ice cream & carmel, fish sticks--cookie wafers with peanut butter, peas and carrots---laffy taffy.

Jasons new bike for his birthday

Kristina b-day presents

We've had a busy few weeks. The weather warmed up then came crashing down. Sprink break is almost here and were hoping it will be warm when we go to Nana to help while Dad is down for a while. April Fools day was fun this year. There are some pics of what we had for dinner and the kids were suprised to find their shoes didn't fit anymore. We also had little tootsie roll reminders all over the house and in my desk at school.
