Week 1. It was due time at our house to do some house cleaning. What a way to start the summer. Kids rooms and closets were cleaned out, that always feels so good! Saturday we made a trip to the lake for some fun with the Tattons. All the kids had fun playing behind the boat and trying new things. Michelle got up on the slalom ski (it had been a few years), Kelsi and Morgan wakeboarded and Rylee loved the tube rides.
Week 2. We tackled a paint job of the family room this week. Thanks to my good friend Jessica, it turned out great. This week Brynnley also attended the volleyball camp at Weber State. Great camp, (yes I am biased). She is learning lots and improving her skills.
The updated family room still needs a few things, but getting there!This weekend was also youth conference. I got to attend a few of the activities, which turned out great. Our youth conference was held locally this year, which gave the leaders and the kids a lot of flexibility on what activities they attended. The meeting with Elder Bednar was definitely a highlight of the weekend.
Week 3. We snuck away for a quick trip to Lake Powell this weekend. We meet up with our fun neighbors the Hills, who have the coolest boat (yacht) on the lake! It was my birthday this weekend and I even got nice warm brownies (thanks Julie)! We camped this trip, which we had never done before. I think I still prefer the houseboat trips, although I can't complain too much since we did have access to a full kitchen and a bathroom!
Kids & the dog had some fun on the tube!

Our boat, next to the Cruiser, Yacht!
Playing some guitar hero on the yacht!
Jeff, Becca & Blake tried out their surfing behind the yacht! Best surfing they will do on any lake, that is for sure!
Week 4. This week all 3 kids had golf lessons for a couple hours each day. I am hoping they learned something, we haven't been able to get out and do much golfing since the lessons, so who knows. This weekend is the 4th of July, which is always fun. Our neighbors, the Browns, have a great neighborhood party on the 3rd. We swim, eat good food, socialize and watch the fireworks for North Salt Lake. We have a great view of the fireworks and don't have to deal with the crowds. Everyone always has a great time. On the 4th we headed up to the valley and watched the kids parade through the Huntsville parade, then over to Liberty to enjoy the festivities with my sisters family. It's always fun to enjoy the small town festivities on the 4th. The kids caught fish in the fish catch, which was a highlight of the day. Later in the afternoon we headed up to the North Fork area for a fun hike. I think it is called the Cutler Flats trail, but it is always a fun one, especially on a hot day when their is water to play in!
Week 5. On Sunday the 5th of July, we headed up to Pineview and Anderson Cove to spend a few days camping and boating with some friends and neighbors. Way too many pictures of kids and adults playing behind the boat. We taught lots of kids to jimmie jam and adults to surf or wakeboard. Overall I think the kids enjoyed the tube rides the most. It is always a good laugh! We had lots of families come join us, whether it was for a day, an evening or the whole time. We feel so lucky to have so many great people as friends and neighbors!
Weeks 6-10 will be coming soon!
