Dane played on a softball league this summer with his brother, sister, and her husband. They won the championship!!! Here are a few pictures

Fourthof July

These are the red, white, and blue-berry skewers I made for the Fourth of July. I realized I never wrote about what we did! This year our friends Spenser and Laura Buhler invited us over for a BBQ with our great friends Dave and Leslie, who recently moved to Utah but were here for the weekend. We were so glad to see them! I didnt get any pictures of the adults, but I managed to get a few of our kids having fun.

July Camping Fun

We got the chance to go camping in Cascade in July with Dane's sister and her family. We went to Lake Cascade Park, which I had never been before. My sister in law scoped out the area before we went so we were able to reserve a great camping spot with lots of shade. We had a great time with them. Here are a few of our pictures.

No time, there's never any time!

Does anybody remember the Saved by the Bell episodes when Jessie Spano is cramming for a math test and getting ready to sing at The Max with Lisa and Kelly (I believe their group was called ZACK ATTACK) and she goes a little overboard with the caffeine pills and freaks out on Zack? And she says "No time. There's never any time!..." Well I am SO Jessie Spano now (minus the OD on the pills. Oh, and none wants to hear me sing with my bffs down at the local hangout). I didnt realize how time consuming going back to school would be. I feel like I have been running non stop since Monday with no relaxing in sight. I feel like I have been doing homework for 2 days straight - oh wait, I HAVE been!!! There's just "No Time!" to get anything done! So right now I would LOVE to update what we have been up to for the remainder of the summer, post new pics, and write about my first day of school, but I will have to wait until I can get everything under control. To sum up what Jessie says: "I'm so excited, I'm so excited. I'm so - scared!" Yup. That pretty much sums it up for me right now. So now, for your viewing pleasure... my favorite SBTB episode...

If you chance to meet a frown do not let it stay

I finally figured out how to upload videos I take off of my camera. Here is one of Lexi last summer singing a primary song...

Family Reunion

Today we had a family reunion for my family at Settlers Park in Meridian. I dont get to see many of my cousins very often so it was nice to see all of them. Here are some pictures of the event.
