summer in an organized nutshell.

First off... Ashley graduates from Kindergarten. I CANNOT believe she is 6. Where has the time gone? We love her so much. She has such a kind and caring heart.

Katie and I waiting for the Ashley's graduation program to start.


Ashley and her teacher Mrs. Kober. What a great year Ashley had!


We played in the water a lot.


Matt and I, Jacob and Ashley backpacked up to Lily Lake with family.


Everyone who went minus Tessa and I. (picture takers.)


Family reunion at Heber Valley Camp. These are the people in our own family who were brave enough to do the zip line. Yes... that is me.


Jacob did a very respectable job! He's such a daredevil.



We went to the zoo with some of my sisters and a boat-load of kids.

We visited our favorite neighbors and the goats they were taking care of for a few weeks. They even let the kids feed the goats. They loved it.


Playing with sparklers.


We ate lots of icee's (or whatever they're called).


Matt made the kids (and himself of course) bows and arrows. Jacob has loved shooting that thing. The girls on the other hand.... well, you know.


Hiking to the Grotto.

Last summer hurrah... camping in Lava Hot Springs. We went with Zelma and her kids. It was a blast. I would do it again.



There is a pool to go swimming.


This is the Lava Hot Springs.


At the pool, they have Olympic diving boards. Shalee convinced Matt to jump off the lowest one with her. I'm sure if they would have gone off the highest one, one of them would have lost an appendage.


Lava Hot Springs, again.


We actually did do several other fun things this summer but those times, I forgot the camera. Oops.

And that my dear friends, is summer in a nutshell. I told you it would be that way.

The end.
