Mid Summer Happenings

And drum roll..... the backyard is finished:

The kids and I stayed in Utah for over two weeks.  We went to the zoo, played at both Grandparents new swing sets, got new haircuts, went to Jordanelle,"horsed" around, and went to the rodeo for the 4th.

Wasatch Back this year Andy ran 25.5 miles and I ran 13.8.  We ran a few extra since we were minus one runner.  Legs for Linda ran 198 miles total in 31 hours!

Andy's Birthday:

St George: golfing, playing in the pool, Mary Poppins at Tuachan, shopping, picnic lunch at Zions, and playing

Visit to Park City

 Big thanks to my brother-in-law Scott, I was able to hang out with my Mom and Dad this past week.  We did some shopping without kids, went to the Salt Lake temple and to lunch with friends, watched Life of Pi, ate lots of yummy food brought by loving neighbors and friends, took Mom to doctor appointment, and I got to snow board....what a treat!  My Mom is hanging in there and will be starting chemo treatments soon!  It was priceless time spent with her and my Dad.  I also got to be with nieces, nephews, brother, and sisters without my own kids.  I really had the time to enjoy family during my visit, quite a treat!

 Oh yes, we cleaned out the parents closet and found some gems!
