Summer Update

Summer is coming to a close.  Boo.  We've had a lot of fun in the sun this year!  Livvy and I have spent most every day outside, playing in the sprinklers or at the city pool.  Dave has had a busy landscaping summer, but he's also been able to spend a lot of time with us.  Here are some picture updates of our summer...

Our Annual Free Meal at Chick Fil A

 

Our 4th of July Campout with my family

Livvy got to play with her first sparkler this year.

We got a few gals from high school together to play

volleyball - it was a fun night.

We went to Syracuse Days with Mary, Erin, Mia, Jake n Dani

and their kids.  It was fun - the theme was super heroes so we

all got to dress up.

I got to go to Girl's Camp this year - it was a great time!

Teenage girls are so fun to hang out with.

Livvy and Hayden had a lot of fun at the Zoo.

Grandma bought them these cute animals, Livvy

calls hers Mr. Bear.

 

One of our many visits to WJ Pool

One of my volleyball leagues was played at this park

that had a splash pad, so Livvy loved to come watch and

play in the water.

Dave played a few tournaments this summer and Livvy and I

had tons of fun eating lunch and watching them win.

We watched all of the crazy fireworks on the 24th of July at

my parents' house

 

We got to go to the Museum at the University of Utah.  Dave's

grandpa contributed a lot to their bug collection, but we also got

to see the dinosaurs.

We had fun at the Bee's game this year.  We got everyone together,

which gets harder and harder as time goes on.

 Livvy was stylin at the game

She loved the Bee.  She was shy though, so she would touch him

when he wasn't looking and just wanted to stare.

These are Dave's pride and joy :)  He was able to buy them

this year and it has cut his mowing time in half.  That

means less time in the hot sun for him!

Mark came home this summer!  He's been in Africa for 2 years

on his mission.  It's been fun having him home.  Livvy is still

getting used to him - she's pretty shy around new people.

 

While we were in St. George at Kortni and Mason's new

apartment for the year, Dave and Mason bought Livvy two

fish.  She loved them, but they both died before we came home.

We told her they were staying at Kortni's house.

We had a lot of fun this summer with Kortni and Mason while they

were here. It will be sad to see them leave this week to go back to St. George.

Here, we were at Mulligan's.  Livvy LOVED this night :)

I have started training for a half marathon this summer!  I

will be running in the Layton Half on 9/27.  I'm both anxious and

excited - but happy that I am finally going to accomplish this goal.

 

 

This summer has been fun!  Definitely one to remember.  Livvy makes everything so much fun.  She's older and really has fun when we take her places.  Maybe next summer, we can add more kids to our crazy life ... :)
