Summer 2014

So far this Summer has been so much fun, and so very busy.  Here are some highlights in one big photo dump:

The Hammond Vacation was at Aspen Grove, but I was out of town and missed it. Todd took a few photos of Avery and a lot of photos of rocks.  :)

 

  

 My sister-in-law Libby and 4 of her 5 kids stayed with us for a week (Tim and Chloe stayed home from this trip) and we had a blast together! I pretty much just tried to keep up with her for the week and it was so much fun! We'd go to exercise classes during the day and run together at night.  I'm still sore from her visit. :)

 

 

We've spent lots of time with cousins on both sides of the family.

 

   

   

 Henry and Avery are less than a month apart in age.  It took the whole week but they finally learned how to play together.

  

We set up a giant water bubble and air bubble at Grandma's for the kids to play with. 

 

   

 Adult sized teeter-totter I built my Dad for Father's Day:

   

 

Todd and I replaced the deck stairs on our old house we rent out. What a ton of work! 

 

This is way overdue, but my sister Beth had a book launching party in SLC at King's English Bookstore. She's amazing! 

 

My sister Sue got married! 

 

Todd ran the Speed Goat 50K with 11,000 feet elevation gain. It was the hardest race he's ever run, and it took 9 hours. I hope he'll do a post about it on this blog. 

 Here's Mark at the finish line:  

 

See the tired runners?

 

I ran a 10K with Brooke and Casey at East Canyon: 

 

Todd and I tried paddle boarding and loved it! No photos, sorry. 

We went boating with the Nelsons and some other friends. It was a blast!
