some more july...

July was a wonderful month.  One we'll remember for many years to come.

We started out the month, for the July 4th weekend, with some special cousins over in Idaho.

I don't EVER remember spending 2 straight days at the lake before.  Being outside in the sunshine

and water all day long is a wonderful thing!

Thanks Ryan, Jeannie and kiddos for the fun weekend together.

Here are some pictures...

Beach time...

Boat time...

Our three older kids out in kayaks one evening...

We got to see some friends we hadn't seen in years and make some new friends too!

On the fourth, we spent the evening watching fire works from the boat.  Beautiful!!!

Thanks again!

Next in July, Melita and Maya took swimming lessons.

Next in July, Colter and I found time to do some mountain biking one afternoon at the Pig Farm Trails.

And Randy and Kyla hit the mountain bike trails at Big Mountain one Saturday.

Kyla spent a lot of time in the spring and early summer in preparation to run in her first race.

Race pictures coming soon. :)

And then we spent a lot of time in preparation for a 17 day family trip!
Here is Kyla's bedroom floor as she works on making individual snack bags for each of the
family for all seventeen days.

Trip pictures coming soon too! :)
