Well good grief! I can't believe the summer is G O N E!
Here are the highlights of our warm weather season!
DRAGON ATTACK
In the middle of July my brother Sam and his wife Cyleste just stopped by for a visit.
While they were here a huge swarm of dragon flies filled the sky! It was really weird.
We'd never seen anything like it, but the girls went crazy with their nets! They caught all sorts of bugs!
It was a fun night! And I am sure Kasidy will thank me later for her diaper pics.
JULY 21 - 24 GRANDMA SUE'S REUNION
Two years ago my mom started her own family reunions.
The first one we went to Yellowstone, and this year we went to Bear Lake!
The Daly's were so generous and let my family celebrate at their cabin!
Thanks Jim and Candace!!!
We had a great time! We did skits, played games, and of course boating!
The water was so high it was crazy finding a spot on the beach,
but we made it just in time to get water front tent room!
Thanks mom for all the great memories, and bringing our family together!
(Kasidy loved cheese covered crackers)
JULY 29- AUG 5 LAKE POWELL
What a great week! This is Greg's favorite place on earth and we were able to spend the whole time there!
The water couldn't have been more perfect!!! I love warm air and warm water. Let's face it, I just love being warm! It's not hard getting behind the boat to go water skiing when the water's like the bathtub!
We brought both our girls and they did GREAT!!!
Nap times were just taken on the boat rides and they played so hard during the day that they slept great at night! Even in the sweltering heat they did amazing! What troopers!!!
McKinley loved water skiing with dad! She didn't like the water at first, but learned how to swim all by herself with a life jacket while we were there. Kind of a necessity if you ask me! Kasidy was also a fish, and loved to be in the water with everyone else!
My cute girls in their life vests!!! We love boating!!!
Playing in the water around the house boat!
Greg had a great idea to go on a hike. We were all in, but once we got there our hike turned into a nature extravaganza!!! There were tadpoles EVERYWHERE!!!
We had to stop and look at all the frogs, lizards, and bugs along the path to the narrows!
It's kids that keep us down to earth and focused on the good stuff!!!
Landon and Amy even adopted a little frog in their old water bottle...it died. Poor little frog:)
We made it to the start of the Narrows hike! It was fun to see the kids reactions of the rocks! It was a whole new world to them!
On the way it back it got really hot. (It was hot the whole time, but we'd been away from water way too long) McKinley wore my hat and it made for a cute picture! Thanks for the idea Em. It was a fun hike! Good idea Greg!
Just a good old water ski trip!
Decorating Grandpa! That's entertainment!
I loved this tube ride! The pictures of the adults are so funny!
Check out Landon and Grandpa! I got a good laugh out of them.
The last picture is of the kids being confined the bedroom while we cleaned up! Cute cousins!
We loved our Lake Powell trip!
SLEEPING BABY KASIDY!
There is something about a sleeping baby that I just love! They are so peaceful and seem closer to our Father in Heaven. I want to step into their dreams. Love you Kasidy!
PEACH MANIA
Greg was so excited that our peaches looked ready to pick that we picked them all...None of them were ripe! Maybe next time we'll check ONE first then pick the rest!
The girls had fun picking them, and it was 'A good activity':)
We are grateful to the previous home owners for making our yard so abundant in fruit! We also have strawberry and blackberry plants! So awesome!
We also are so grateful to Grams and Papa for the 3 peach trees they gave us when we moved in!
They are looking great and we can't wait for the fruit next year!
HAIR?
Kasidy finally has some hair!!! From the front she looks like Alfala! I think it is darling! And from the back...pig tails? I can't do just one pony tail or it just looks, I will say bad for the lack of a better word:) But my girls are so cute! This was during a much needed story time break!
TOO HOT?
You tell me. We left McKinley's shoe outside. The next day it looked like this! 
DAVIS COUNTY FAIR
What a fun evening! We spent the night with Landon, Amy, Kevin and his kids! We had fun shooting hoops, petting the animals, getting flower balloons, and of course, going on a boat ride!
Thanks for the reminder Amy! Glad we could come!
AUG 20 HORSES!!!
Jayne and Chris invited us to go riding! It was such an adventure, and well worth the 2hr car ride!
We rode all day! McKinley loved it and kept calling out..."Go Bullseye!"
Thank you for inviting us up for so much fun!
Before we left I found my old cowGIRL hat that fits Kinners. I also found my old red cowGIRL boots.
The boots are still too big, but she had fun wearing them in the car:)
It was crazy to see my old stuff on my little girl! Time flies!
AROUND THE HOUSE
We have been going non-stop so it was nice when we were home. We haven't accomplished much (yard work) that we've wanted to, but that's okay, the trips are way more fun:) These are a few of the things we've done when we've been home...Play dress up, hang pictures, make trains with chairs, play hair dresser, and smell the flowers! The trips are always wonderful, but there's something about coming home and just being around the house! What a wonderful summer and so many great memories! 
I can't wait to see what fall will bring!
