Summer

I have been terrible at blogging.  I am sorry. We have been pretty busy and I think I am ready for summer to come to an end and to get back to a schedule.  Shane got back from 2 weeks in Uganda and left 3 days later for Houston.  He came back 2 weeks later for his friends wedding and then I went 2 weeks later to Houston for a few days. The boys stayed with Shane's parents and had a blast.  We got to visit our good friends for a few days and we were able to do some fun things with the family Shane is staying with.  It was a great time and I had a hard time leaving Shane there.  Good news though he comes home in a week and a half...  I am counting down.  I am ready to actually do some things as a family before school starts for Shane and Clay.  We have done some fun things though... here are some of them:

We have had lots of hot dog roasts

Riding the horse is always fun
Clay went on his first official ride and absolutely loved it.  I on the other hand I fell off for the first time in my life.  Didn't love it.

We celebrated our 7th anniversary.  Shane had these delivered to me.  7 roses and 7 lilies

My sister Holly left on her mission.   We all miss her but she just arrived in Spain and is doing great!

We have spent a lot of time in the pool and running through the sprinkler.

We have done some fun crafts... putting together and painting wooden dragons.

Of course we have spent lots of time at Bear Lake.  Clay learned how to kayak and loves it.

My sister and I took the boys to the pool.  We had a hard time getting
them to get out to go home. They loved it!

The 24th of July parade started right in front of our house.  Needless to say we got lots of candy. The boys love all of the firetrucks and tractors.

I made my first peach pie with fresh peaches.  It actually turned out really good!

They just put in a new splash pad by us.  We took a picnic lunch.  The boys had fun playing in the water and on the playground.  We will definitely be going again.

I will try and post some pictures of the things we will be doing once Shane gets home.  I have some fun things planned.
