The Burton's

In June we ventured south to Cedar City and stayed with our great friends, the Burton's. We spent 7 days there, and of course it was not long enough! Laurel had some cute things set up for the 4 youngest to do, and they had so much fun! We went to the discovery park, Emily and Carson fishing in the miscellaneous drawer, and the kids making scrapbooks with Laurel. We miss you Burton Family!

Yuma Vacation!

After visiting the Burton's, we headed further down south and spent 2 weeks in Yuma, Az. We stayed with Leslie and Melinda, and had a blast! The top picture is of their pool.... so much fun! The next is Kylie drying off, and then sleepy Emily (and Tally keeping watch).

Everyday in Yuma (except for 2) we splashed and played in the pool. It felt so good since the outside temps were around 100 degrees!

Chuckie Cheeses in Yuma. One of our favorite hangouts! Thank you Leslie and Melinda for an awesome time!

Bear Lake

Over the 4th of July weekend, we went with Kristin and her family to Bear Lake. After they left, we stayed and played in the sand (if thats what you want to call it!), and the water. The sand castle that Emily is decorating is actually Andria's. Thanks Kristin for a fun day!

Congratulations Austin and B.E. United Soccer Club!

In July we went and watched Austin play in Hyrum at the Cache Valley Cup. He played very well, and his team went to the finals! It was so intense and exciting when the game went into overtime twice, and then ended up in a shootout! Austin was the first to take a penalty shot, and he made it! Unfortunately they lost by one goal and ended up in second place. What a great game! Way to go Austin!

The Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple

On July 29, our family went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. It was so beautiful inside and out! The children really enjoyed seeing all the different rooms that they hear about in church. Emily was most impressed by all the pictures of the Savior that she counted. We went through at a very busy time, so we were not able to stay in the rooms for very long. Still, I am so glad that we went and the children were able to see the inside of a temple. I am hoping that when they hear the primary song..."I love to see the Temple"....it will bring back memories of this day.
