Summer Vacation Wrap Up

Well, here we are on the "the new school year" eve. I feel like summer vacation was a mere blink of an eye! I wanted to post our Top 10 favorite summer memories/photos, but once I started looking through our summer photos I realized there were many more than 10!! So here come SOME of our favorites...in no particular order!

Going to Grandma's and seeing the cousins!

Campfires & smores at the cabin.

4th of July Baseball Tournament in Park City.

Watching the girls in the Salem Days Parade.
(Kaycee for Soccer and Janey & Abbie with the Cheerleaders)

Going to Logan and making these fun blankets!

Watching Janey do Gymnastics.

Kaycee running her first 5K. (26:34)

Reed's 7th Annual Cousin Sleepover.

Kaycee growing taller than her mother!
(This is a highlight for Kaycee...not me!)

Horse Rides!

Yummy grilled FOOD!

Watching Kaycee play in her 1st HIGH SCHOOL Varsity Soccer Game!
(We won't mention the early morning and 2 a day practices with NO carpool as highlights!)

The one day the kids actually did jobs!
This really was a highlight for me...Janey was assigned the Mud Room and after she was finished I found everything in perfect order, including these handmade name tags assigning each of us a specific hook so "we won't ever have this problem again!"

Some cooling off time after moving the irrigation pipes!


Abbie riding the sheep at the Spanish Fork Rodeo!


Plenty of turns on The CABIN SWING!

Milky Falls

Just looking at this picture is happy memory for me...they thought they were Sooo funny!

Abbie taking it easy and soaking up the sun...

instead climbing around and getting in the freezing cold waterfall!

Finding this picture Coleman took of his farm animals all lined up on my camera!
(I'm glad he still has a little soft spot for his farm!)

Girls Camp for Kaycee...

Scout Camp for Reed.

Finding this snake in Pop's yard on Father's Day.

Fishing with Grandpa for Cole's Birthday...better late than never!

Stopping at the Fountain Green General Store after hearing the "Legend" of it
...AND other Cabin Bedtime Stories!Watching Reed play baseball.

Watching the girls mother the baby kitties!

Watching Coleman play baseball.

Kaycee's soccer camp at SUU.

And of course, hanging out at Payson Pool!

It's been a good summer...actually a great one!

Good things happening at your house. I didn't know Kaycee ran a 5K. That's cool. I had to laugh at the name tags in your mudroom...a girl after my own heart. I've begged Shane for them since the day we moved in. I love the kitty pic.....it's darling!!!

What a fun summer! The blankets you made in Logan are so cute, I'd love to see them in person. Way to run Kaycee- the Salem race was my first but I only did the 3k. And I love the animal line-up!

Becky said...

Wow, it's shocking the amount of fun you can have on the bad side of Payson!! Loved this post! It is a shame the beck kids and Jacklin kids never got to hook up!
