Summertime, is here

Summertime is here! I think. The heater comes on still some mornings, so I can never be too sure. But we have done some fun things since school got out. We took a trip up to Canada to see family. We went on the paddle boats. It was hot, and Dallin was afraid of falling in. Aahh, good old family fun. It was really great to see Canadian family.

We , umm how come I'm typing in blue and everything is underlined? Seriously, I need some help. We went down to Utah after Canada and saw my family. We stopped at Temple Square and it was awesome! I wish we could have stayed longer. What a beautiful place.
And then home again to stay. Mason played his first year of basketball at the YMCA. Tyler was his coach. It was so fun to watch these boys play. Mason has really grasped on to the idea of hoops. His biggest problem? And I quote," Mom, I have a problem. Which team should I play for when I get to the NBA? I like the Jazz, but what if I'm drafted someplace else?" We'll cross that stream when we get there buddy. It's fun to watch him in the driveway, or when he and Tyler sit on the couch and watch the Slam Dunk contest. And Tyler, of course, is as proud as puddin.

Blake Griffin jersey for his birthday.

We, went to a Sounders soccer game. We don't really do soccer. I do know that you can't use your hands! We cheered when everyone else did. And booed when they booed. It was lots of fun though. Go soccer!


And then the big day came. Mason turned 8 on August 5th and was baptized the next day. What a special day it was. He and another girl from our ward were the only ones for that day. I was so proud of him and the tears just kept coming. He was a bit emotional as well and it was so special for us. What a great day.

We had Tyler's parents there as well as well as his sister Kerbi and her 2 girls. My parents came and we had a house full. But I said," I'd rather have a messy house full of guests, than a clean house with no one here." And that's the truth. It was a really awesome weekend. Then off to cub scout camp 4 days later. He loved that. And we just got back from camping today. Yes that's right, camping tent style. We went to Deception Pass with Tyler's cousins from Vancouver. We had fun and ate lots of hot dogs over the fire. Somehow, they just taste so good out in the woods.

Well now I 'm up to date. We've done alot and had some fun. Hard to believe that school is right around the corner.
