Crazy Summer

This summer has been my fullest in a long time. The kids and I went to Bear Lake in Utah to the Belnap family reunion July 3rd-8th. It was quite an adventure! We went with 2 of Chad's sisters, Angela & Alisa and Alisa's 3 kids. It was a lot of work, but well worth it.
The following weekend I flew back to Utah for a Lia Sophia Conference alone! I stayed with my cousin Kara and had a great time taking advantage of some "me" time. Kara & I got pedicures and she took me shopping at a great place called Rod Works. Check out their website http://www.rodworks.com/

This last weekend we went camping up by Big Lake in the White Mountains. The weather was gorgeous. It rained every day. Here is a picture of Janey and her cousin Kinley. Then a picture of Kinley and Grandma Robyn. Kinley was giving me the "crazy eye" when I took this picture. I think it is so funny. Click on the picture to enlarge it...then you'll see what I mean.
Here is a picture of Russell. He went fishing and caught a crawdad. No fish...bummer. All of the kids had a great time playing with cousins they only see once a year. Every year when we get home Russell wants to know how many days until we get to go back. Then the disbelief on his face when I say "about 360 days". That feels like forever when your 7.

holy cow that is a "crazy eye" trick!

& russell is quite brave to pick up the crawdad, i was always chicken.

so it's about stinkin' time you started this blog, it's funny that you did because the last few days I've been thinking about you & wondering when you would start one.

Hi Trish, Nicky forwarded an email and had me look at Kinley in it.That eye thing is a little freaky. I can't believe how big your kids are. Your family is beautiful! I linked you to my blog so I can read up on how you guys are doing, hope that's ok. Have a great night! Alison

Hey I feel like I haven't seen you forever and I love you! I'm so glad you have a blog and I'm so glad that this blog thing exists-I wish everyone in the Adobe ward would get one so I won't feel so sad when we leave the ward for good:(

"Crazy Summer".... FOR SURE! What an awesome opportunity it was for me to be able to be on 2 of those trips with you! Remember when we were camping and so dog tired with our 6 kids, no husbands, many, many miles traveled, screaming babies, verging on tears ourselves...we'd remind each other "We're here makin' memories... right?!" It will always be a good memory for me! I love you. PS Havasupai ROCKS! :o)
