Two months in review

When we don't blog for awhile it means we are boring people and don't do anything or the opposite. Lets just blame the lack of updates on how much fun we have been having this summer. Last summer was a lot harder for Ba so we are making up for lost time. Here is a recap of some things we have been up to.

Ry's side of the family had a Reunion in Eden up Ogden Canyon, or if you are crazy and want to ride your bike, North Ogden Bypass. It was so much fun to play games, eat good food someone else prepared, and just play with family. LE loved having other kids to play with.

Here we are at a petting zoo, I think this was LE's favorite part of the trip.

She was all smiles the first time she was on the horse, she could have taken a few more laps.

Feeding the animals was a really funny to watch. I think both were scared. LE has learned to give kisses, so naturally the goat was an excellent candidate for some lovin.

She likes to push strollers around even when it has her cousin in it that weighs as much as her.

The Barn yard dog sprawled out- Do all farm dog have their tail cut off?

Family hike! It is hard to walk with a little body moving around all over the place.

Playing at the Lake, it was so much fun we skipped nap time. That is not mud on her face(but could have been), just Oreo.

Painting Dad's stomach with mud. Gotta love that man with a mega farmer tan!!

Playing with a stick on the beach. LE had a great time splashing in the water and going on boat rides.

LE likes to find BA's swim cap and goggles and try them on. It makes her eyes all squinty, and everyone gets a good laugh.


We had a great July 4th weekend, with a ward Breakfast, hiking, fireworks, and BBQ. It was the first weekend in 6 weeks that we were at home, we sure enjoyed sleeping in our own beds.


LE was very good during the hike sitting in her back pack, but at the end she just wanted to get out and walk. Well lets just say her legs had a hard time keeping up with the rest of her. This time it is mud.


Weekend get away! It was a wonderful thing. Ba's parents were so nice to watch LE while we went and hung out with some good friends down in St George. It was so nice to do things that you can't do with children around, like intense climbing/hiking.



It was Ba's first time playing real golf. We played best ball or it would have taken forever. Our teachers were very patient, and can you say SLICE!

We took a short cut through a small river to cool off. Ry was a very good ball gatherer. I think we ended up with 14 more balls then we started with and that is saying something for all the ones we lost.

We did a relay race with some people in Ry's family up in Idaho. You run two legs of about 5 miles, and we both felt very good about how we ran. Of course there is extra time waiting for other runners, so reading is nice.


Yeah, everyone on the team (except for one party pooper) wore tu-tu's. Others were embarrassed when they got passed making it so much more fun.

Camping the night before was also really fun. Ba cropped this picture, but she is wearing chacos with socks. Sick.


We participated in a stake Sprint Triathlon. We both took home some hardware for our performance.


Black ninja strikes again. It doesn't even look like she is trying hard.

This is Ry and he is extremely out of breath trying to catch the guy in front of him (Ed). His dad was talking trash to Ed so it motivated everyone to go faster.
