Missing Gray

Gray has been a nanny for our niece Sofie for the last few weeks in AZ and we have really missed her cute face around here! This weekend she is coming home and I can't wait. Love you Gray, see you soon!!!

Boys of Independence

fireworks mountain

Last night we hiked up behind our house to watch the fireworks before we set off our own. Joel had some fun with the camera.

Frogs

It is frog season again. I feel for these little guys and the abuse they take from the boys.

Falls and Fishing

Bridal Veil Falls

Fishing the Weber River

They had fun casting but had no luck.

How excited do I look? My dog Meeks was covered in cockle burrs and I was not pleased... lapdogs and the great outdoors don't seem to mix, but she doesn't seem to know that. It was a fun day though and we got to see where Joel had raced his bike the week before.

high fives to the other team

This is the twins first go at an organized sport and they had a great time. "Go Green" is the name of the team, they are a very eco friendly group of kids :)

Tweaked bike

Less than 24 hrs in Holdy needs Joel's mad bike skills, thankfully Holden fared better than the bike in the wreck.
