August

We have been a little busy, like always.  But always having fun.  HereRyan and I took a little trip to Provo (just the two of us!) to see Uncle Kevin's inauguration as BYU's 13th president.

 Ryan hiked Mt. Borah with some friends from work.  He said it took 6 hours to reach the top.  He was pretty sore the next day.

 This is the only picture I got of us canning peaches and jam and all that fun harvesty stuff.  It took all weekend, but is totally worth it as we eat it all.  We maybe shouldn't have planted two peach trees.  One would have been plenty.

 For Cody's birthday I took him and a couple friends to McDonald's (every mother's dream).

 Cody got to start cub scouts.

 Tucano's:

 We went on a family camping trip.  Cody thought it would be funny to put on Ryan's swim trunks.  Too bad they wouldn't stay up.

 Out cold:

 This is what camping feet SHOULD look like:

 Not sure what is with his face, but he had a ton of fun with the horseshoes.

 Cardboard box oven (camp cookies):

 "Mom, this would be so much more fun if the Hutchinson's were here!"

 Rain, rain, go away!

 Our sweet little Cody got baptized.  Since he is our baby, I guess that officially makes us old.

 Frisbee Golf:

Outdoor movie night: 

 Sweet Brandon had dental surgery and had 7 teeth pulled, two root canals, and a cavity filled.  What a trooper.  Now if he could only pay his own bills...

 And here they are (if you want to be disgusted):

 Ryan and Kathleen went on a western themed date.  She is loving being in Young Women's.

 We played outdoor Jenga with some friends.

 Kathleen made the middle school volleyball team and was super excited.

 Brandon has started football.  He got to play his first game on the blue turf at BSU.

 The fair:

 First day of school:

 Present day:

 Volleyball:

 Ladder golf:

 Cody started soccer and is so cute.  As you can imagine with tackle football, volleyball, and soccer, we eat, drink, breathe, sleep, live sports right now.

I guess we are out of order here.  This is what we woke up to in Provo last week.  We had to drive through this storm to get to the inauguration.  

 But it was all worth it once we got into Provo and could actually see the Y.  Of course, then the storm rolled through Provo too. 

 Brandon's football team was losing on Saturday at half time 12-0.  They made an amazing come back and ended up winning 20-12.  Way to go Chargers!

 Here is our amazing daughter wit her amazing serve!  She is such a stud!

July

This is actually a little June, July, and August.  Here we are on a hike.  Sometimes I can be a fun mom.

 Kathleen got to go to girl's camp for the first time.

 Cody spranged his ankle.  But it really wasn't too bad.  He did, however, love wearing the ace wrap.

 While Kathleen was at camp, we went to a Hawks game without her.

 My grandfather passed away.  He was a pretty awesome man.  So when Kathleen got home from camp, we headed to St.George for his funeral.

 Kathleen's camp pictures:

 Then we spent some time in Salt Lake visiting cousins.

Then up to Spokane to visit more cousins: 

A 4th of July Flag Burning Ceremony: 

 Ryan is cute playing wiffle ball with the kids:

 What is sexier than a man holding a baby?  Nothing.

 Look at this little guy.  He really wanted to take a picture in front of the blue door for his baptism announcements.  What a fun boy.

Ryan and I played on a softball team together.  He was soooo cute.  Oh, and I played the second half of the season with a broken foot.  Because I am awesome like that. 

 Kathleen's 12th birthday and breakfast in bed:

 Cody's party (he turned 8!!):

 Kathleen's party:

So tons of fun in July!
