Summer Fun!

We have had a very busy and fun summer. My parents returned from their mission in Hong Kong healthy and happy. Coach has been doing and administrative internship at and Elementary School. We have enjoyed many festivals, parades, family reunions, trips, and camping with cousins both in Eagle Mountain, and through out Utah Valley. The weeks seem to speed by.

Starboy has had so much fun playing with all his new friends in our new neighborhood. And Princess talks more everyday. Today she said "wanna sleep", "come outside" "jump now", and many other two word phrases. It is amazing how many new words she says each day.

Below are some pictures of a few of our summer activies. Enjoy!

This was at Eagle Mountain Days. They were listening to music.

Starboy is still as active as ever and has fun using his imagination to fight the bad guys. He now thinks he wants to be a CIA spy when he grows up.


We got to enjoy a Rodeo in Eagle Mountain with Aunt C. Family. Princess and Coach enjoyed the hay rides.

and Starboy got a sucker for the hobble horse race. He also got to go on a pony ride which he enjoyed, but he wishes the that he could ride them FAST!

We enjoyed camping with cousins and grandma H.

Princess even learned to say the word "STICK" while camping. When everyone was roasting marshmellows and hotdogs, she had to be envolved. She learns more words every day. Her food allergies are still bad. She is still on a gluten free, sugar free, diet also keeping out her other triggers (tomato's, onions, peppers, strawberries, cantaloupe, cheese etc). Her system is working much more regular and her rashes stay away as long as we stick to the strict diet.
She still keeps smiling, though she is starting to notice when others have something she doesn't and then she says "want some" but I can usually appease her with something she isn't allergic too. Coach and I are in nursery with her at church, so we are able to monitor all the gluten treats there, and provide her with her own snack.

Starboy was so excited, he got to camp for two nights while Coach, Princess and I went with Aunt M. on a little trip.


Off to Las Vegas to witness Aunt M. Get married. It was such a fun trip and we love our new Brother In-Law. He is a great addition to the family. Cousin T. hung out with Coach and I at Circus Circus. I am so glad we got to be there!

My family reunion was July 4-7 it was so fun to have my niece and her kids stay with us. Spud is a few months younger than princess, but he can hold his own.

The girls loved this playhouse that Aunt C. put out at the park. It was a huge hit!


We had a talent show night. And celebrated summer birthdays. You can see my parents first in line. They just turned 78. It is hard to believe. They are still as busy as ever. It is so great to have them home.

We love our new home and are getting to know more people all the time. It is wonderful to have so much family so close. We are blessed in so many ways.
