Are You Ready For Some Football?

Even though the weather is hot and summer still lingers, football season in our small town has begun.  Robbie is playing tackle football this year.  It will be a new experience for him.  He has enjoyed it so far.  He really loves his equipment.  The day we got it he wore it around the house all evening.  I know there are some of you who may be disappointed by the Payson green but he is proud as can be.  Can't wait to see his first game!

Happy 18th Birthday!

On Wednesday it was McKenzie's 18th birthday!  We celebrated with my parents, Anna, Nate, and Claire in Park City!  I didn't bring my camera but here are a few pictures of McKenzie through the years.

Thunderstorms

Our weather has been funny this summer!  We started out in June, cold and wet, with some February-like temperatures. Now July has been hot and humid with many thunder and lightning storms.  Friday night James and I went for a walk shortly after one of the storms.  Here is what we saw!

Spring Break 2011

Robbie, Kenzie, Kati and I went with my friend Ilauna and her kids, Spencer and Mekinzey to Oceanside, CA.  We stayed near the beach and enjoyed the ocean.  Robbie went nonstop and was exhausted each night.  We went to the San Luis Rey Mission, Old Town San Diego, The Farmer's Market, Belmont Park, and La Jolla Cove to see the tide pools.  We saw seals, pelicans, dolphins and surfers.  We walked a half marathon a day at least back and forth to the beach, the pier and other places.  The  weather was on the cool side but still perfect.  We had a great time!  Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip.
