We're still alive!

Wow, I never thought I would go over a month without a post. We'll just say our lives haven't been ideal for blogging the last month. Luckily through all the craziness we did enjoy a week in Bear Lake and a few other fun moments. We haven't moved yet and aren't sure when it will happen. Projects at the new house have shaped out to be a little more work than planned.I'm looking forward to school starting and having a schedule in our lives. Jared went back to school two weeks ago, even though he was working hard all summer I didn't realize how much I was using him here and there. We all really miss him. Here are some pictures from Bear Lake and other highlights.

BEAR LAKE


Our week at Bear Lake with mine and Jared family is always our favorite part of summer. This year was no exception. The kids loved the beach, the boat, and being with cousins. The adults loved the beach, naps, and lots of food. Somehow us girls managed to fit in a few shopping trips. My favorite part of the week was our own family Olympics. Inspired by the real Olympics, that started during our trip, we had a blast competing in our own events. Some of the events included a scooter race, marshmallow shoot, hula hoop rollback, and the usual yard games, boccie, croquet, and badminton. It took us a whole day to complete all the events. I am proud to report I tied for gold with my sister Shelly. We were too tired to come up with a tie breaker.

The boys loved playing pirates on PaPa Jerry's boat.

Three Weeks with Wyatt
Billy's son Wyatt was able to come to Utah for three weeks. Grayson, Porter and Wyatt were inseparable the entire time. It was hard for them to say goodbye when everyone had to go home.
