Summer at last.

We were so excited for summer to come and it seems like it flew by in such a hurry. Summer found us busier than ever. In June and July the girls were on swimteam and both did very well. Mona was amazing at breaststroke, and Alex was unstoppable with her backstroke. We took a couple quick trips to Utah, spent a day at Lagoon and a few nights in Park City. In July is when the real adventures began. We had Jon's parents 50th wedding anniversary celebration and reunion in Utah which was so much fun. Right after that, Brooke and Alex headed up to Bulltrout lake for a week at our church's girls camp. (Alex went for the first time, and Brooke was the lifeguard/leader). Ramona, Eli, and Isaiah took off for Seattle while we were gone. Working on little sleep after a week camping, we joined the rest of our family (met Jon at the airport just off a business trip) and headed up to Semiahmoo resort in Northern Washington just on the border of Canada. We had the honor of standing in the wedding party for Brooke's little sister Heidi as she got married. It was a beautiful wedding and a really nice vacation.

Directly after the wedding, Jon left to Memphis for business and the rest of the family (along with Brooke's sister Kate's family) extended our vacation at Sunriver resort in Oregon. Jon joined us after hopping all over the US for work and we finally had a few days to do nothing but swim, golf, and hang out!! It was a lot of fun, but we were really happy to be home after all those adventures.



Some milestones for the summer were reading Harry Potter # 7 FINALLY!!! Isaiah learned to ride a bike. Eli got pretty good at roller blades. We painted our house - yeah!!...no more pink. Brooke did the Rexberg triathlon with friends. Most of all, we had fun with lots of friends and family!! We are now rested and ready to head into fall!!
