Mormon Marlins!

"We are the MARLINS, couldn't be prouder! If you can't hear us we'll say it LOUDER!"

We are actually missing 2 more Mormon Marlin families, the Larsons and Hales had left already. We were lucky enough to stay to the bitter end because of this lively crew! These 4 are the boys 9/10 medley relay team!!


On their last meet Brad drew lightning bolts on the boys backs. They were so FAST, both of them popped they're time on multiple events. Cole popped his IM race by over 30 seconds!!

Soul Sisters

Brad caught the girls having a private conversation. He snapped a few shots, then asked Sammie Lou what she was telling Lily. Let's just say it would of made any good girl turn her head in shocked embarrassment. We are so lucky that Lily is Sammie Lou's cousin, she is the sweetest, best friend a girl could have, or Soul Sister (as Lou-lou calls her).

Go Mini's!!

Big Brothers warming her up for the big swim meet!




Some unwanted instruction was coming from another team mate - she made sure he knew she didn't need any help:)






Team meeting and getting they're lane assignments.


Last minute instruction from Grandma




Waiting her turn.


She's up!


Telling me to go to the end of the lane to cheer her on. I stayed where I was to get a photo of her diving in, about half way through her swim she grabs the lane line, pops her head out, points her finger at me again and tells me to get at the end of her lane!








First place in her heat got her a sucker!!


"My first trophy!!"

with good friend Olivia!

Proud family!!

Wes was in child care and Brad was in D.C. Drew actually had just popped out of the kids pool and asked when she was going to swim. "What! I missed it already?" Thankfully it was a short meet.

The Farm

There's nothing like "The Farm" I'm actually not really sure why they call it a farm, it's really a campground. Either way it's AMAZING. The kids were in heaven, past memories were talked about and many more memories made. There are things you can do at the farm that you can never do anywhere else, fireworks, 8 people on the 4 wheeler,no seat belts, no shoes, catching turtles, candy for breakfast-lunch-dinner, riding Sammie's friends horses! Spending time with Sammie and family. It was a trip never to forget.










The Camp Store!! Founded in 1929.




Meet Annie the horse. Mr. Tracey "The farmer" was kind enough to take us to his house and let the kids ride Annie. It was Sammie's first horse ride and of course she LOVED it.
