A Super Fun Weekend!!!

Wow, we had the best weekend! We started out friday morning with Sam's golf tournament and after that Sam left with Stephanie to go up to Midway for the weekend and we would catch up with them later... Brinley was in a soccer tournament in Cottonwood Heights...so we had to go there first to play their third game of the tournament. They won and then afterwards Brinley and I drove up to Midway. We had so much fun up there. Stephanie invited us to go up for the weekend. Kim and her girls went up along with Amy Davis and her kids. It was a fun bunch...thank you Steph for inviting us! We had a yummy dinner and then went swimming with all of the kids. After swimming, we all just relaxed while the kids played and played and played.

I always tease Stephanie about her being the best photographer...her pictures are always so good! Well...I had spotted this nest and had taken a picture of it and a few minutes later, Steph also took a picture. Check out how good hers is. Mine is the first one and hers is the second one with the mother swooping in while all of the babies have their mouths open. The perfect picture. We compared our photos and just laughed at the difference. She is good!

The next morning in Midway, we woke up to this beautiful view. Thanks again Stephanie for a great overnighter! My family loved it.

Golf Clinics...a success

Sam loved golf clinics...He got up every day to be ready for his 8:00 class. Today was the last day and they had a fun golf tournament with prizes and lunch for everyone. Sam won a prize for getting the ball closest to the hole...he won it because he got a "Hole in One"!! I was so proud of him. He is so funny and he was quite proud of himself!

A Day at the Pool...

After we got Lyndsie off to Cheer Camp and Sam had had his golf lesson, we headed over to the Roy Pool. It is such a fun place to go...we went with the Sill's, Larsen's, and Garretts. We had a great day in the sun. It is always fun going with such great neighbors. Brinley hung out with McKenna and Sam had Colter, Wyatt, and Kobe to go have fun with.

Our House is being Repaired!

Our house is going to be okay! They have come in and dried it all out...our front room and our basement. And now they are repairing the damages inside and out. They treated it for mold and we had to evacuate for about 3 hours is all and soon things will be as good as new. They are going to replace the wood that has rotted and then re-stucco and then finish the inside. It could have been a lot worse and come to find out, it happens to a lot of people. Twelve years ago, homes with stucco were generally not done correctly, so repairs like ours are somewhat expected. Darn...I would rather go on an incredible vacation than pay for this!

Golfing...Trying out another sport

Sam loves to be outside playing sports, riding his bike, etc...I knew that he would love to take golf lessons and learn another sport. He signed up with Colter, Kobe, and Seth. He loved his first day and I am sure that he will have a great week.

Fourth of July!!! My Favorite Holiday...

Another great fourth of July! We love this holiday and we have it down on how to celebrate. We seem to do the same thing every year. Lyndsie was in the Clearfield parade, so we went there first and sat by Kim and her family. This is where we sit every year. Donna and Mike were there along with Chad and Teresa. When Lyndsie had gone by, we left that parade and hurried over to the Layton parade because Sydnie was in that one. They both did a great job. Sydnie's hands look like they hurt though from doing all of the tumbling on the asphalt! Ouch. After the parade, we have a BBQ on the side of our house by the Larsen's home. Brad and Kim, Donna and Dewey, and us all meet to enjoy each other's company. All of the kids play and have a great time. When we are all stuffed, we head on over to the Clearfield fireworks. It was a great day and I enjoy it each year!
