THE GOOD & BAD OF SUMMER

We had a great summer and I can't believe that it is over. It went by way too fast!! We went to Lake Powell in June. With the weather being cooler than it has been we were actually COLD at times. I have never been cold at Powell. We had a great time. My dad, sister Tanya & her family, brother Mike & his family and Coltons friend Aaron all went with us. Luckily we didn't have any big issues with the boat or suburban until after we go back home. We had to put a transmission in the suburban about a week after we got back!!

Were just glad it didn't

happen on our trip!!

For the 4th of July we worked on a bathroom we are remodeling and then went out to Herriman to have a BBQ at my sister Dorothy's house.

We even got mom to go!! And notice we are all bundled up. It was cold!

We went to St. George for the 24th. We helped my brother and his family move and then we had a fun weekend. We went swimming, ate a lot of course and did fireworks. The kids had a blast. My dad went with us and he had bought a toy hauler in St. George so we had to tow it home and we broke down in Parowan. Long story short we had a long day. Some of us didn't get home until 2 am but we all made it home including the trailer. We ended up having to put a new engine in the suburban!!
We took a few trips to Pineview My nephew Matt found a dead Tiger Muskie and decided to swim to it and bring it to the boat. That thing was huge,ugly and stinky!
The kids had youth conference and scout camps. I don't have any pictures of most of it but here is Austin getting ready for a camp and also being in charge of a Court of Honor where he received 5 merit badges his Tender Foot and Second Class advancements

This was our last trip to Pineview. We took Ryan & Steph Thacker and their darling kids with us. We had such a fun time. I just love being at the lake

All three of the kids were sick this summer. First Aysia then Colton he was sick right after we got home from St. George and was in bed for a week not being able to function. He hasn't felt right since last Oct when he caught some kind of virus so we are very concerned trying to figure out what is going on. Poor Austin got really sick right before school so he started middle school being sick. So with all our trips, fixing vehicles and the kids being sick it was a very fast and expensive but fun summer :)
