Pool Party!!

This is the perfect picture to show how we spend our summer days. This is where you will find us every sunny day May - September. And pretty much all the other girls in the neighborhood are the same way so every day is a pool party - I LOVE IT!

Utah

We just got back from another WONDERFUL 2 1/2 week trip to Utah! As usual it only made us miss our families even more but we made some really fun memories while we were there!

Me and Beck flew a few days before Dane so that I could spend a little extra time with my family, then the weekend that Dane got there we all headed to St. George and Shelby and Trevor were able to come up from California to meet us there.

We did our yearly trip to the Tuacahn and saw Tarzan - the Tuacahn never lets us down, it was awesome!!

Here's Trevor doing Beck's hair for church - what a cute uncle huh and Beck looked dang good

I can't decide if my favorite part of this picture is Dane rockin the goggles or my dad backfloating behind him with the tube necklace.

In St. Georege we played Farkle and Ticket To Ride. The girls did some shopping while the boys went golfing and played basketball in the 110 degree weather. And we spent a lot of time in the sweet pools. The highlight of the entire trip was the chicken fights - me and Dane vs my mom and dad - take a wild guess who won! Unfortunately my mom banned me from posting pictures. But it was good times!!

When we got back we were able to spend time with Grandma Myrna and Papa Doug. Beck loved riding the go-cart at their house and playing in the water table that Grandma bought

We went golfing one morning while we were there - it was pretty scary on my part, I think I've only been 2 other times and I think I would need to go a couple hundred more just to be able to hit the ball on my first swing but I did have a lot of fun. My father-in-law Rob taught me a few tricks for next time - I just need to remember "It's all in the hips" I think that if I can get that down Dane will be in big trouble playing against me next time.

We spent a night with Myrna in Doug in Park City we stayed at a place that had some sweet pools that we totally enjoyed and then we played dominos and ate junk food until all hours of the night. Then the next morning we all went down the Alpine Slide except for Beck was too young to go so Grandma made it up to him with a Merry-Go-Round ride

Shelby and Trevor - miss you guys!!

Me and "little" Dayne who now taller than "big" Dane - isn't he cute!

The night after Park City we all went back to SF for the big rodeo!! Summer would not feel complete without going to the rodeo - I love it!

Beck loved riding around the neighborhood standing up on the scooter

Summer would also not be summer without the "Fiesta Days" parade

Whenever Beck came up missing I knew he would be in one of these 2 places - the piano or playing with the bathtub tap

Beck and GG love eachother - she is the only one that can rock him to sleep in her arms. We went and watched fireworks together and he just layed in her arms the whole time - that is very rare for Beck

When we got to Utah Beck could only say maybe 10 words but while we were there he started talking up a storm our favorite was one night my cousin Lauren was showing him pictures of anmials on her camera and he started saying "Oh my gosh!" at first we weren't sure if that's what he was really saying but then we showed him the moon and he said it again and it was clear as day. It was really cute - he puts a lot of expression into it

Anyways, I can't say it enough - we love our family and we miss them so much. Thanks for all the fun!!
