July-September 2024 Highlights

We had the funnest family Lagoon day! 

The lowpoint was for sure standing in line for this horrible ride (Primordial) for 1.5 hours.

Davis and Demi were cute playmates. Demi always asks me for Cheerios. :)

4th of July parade in West Jordan! We had so much fun having Grandma and Grandpa back from their mission and Sara and Jordon moved back the same week!

Poor Penny is allergic to wasps and got stung.

Cafe Rio lunch

We did sparklers and daylight fireworks.

Twice weekly mountain biking practices for Andy. Cameron rides with him at practices sometimes too!

Annual 4th of July party at Keven and April's in Midway. Our kids love this so much and look forward to it every year.

Swimming Lesson week! These two love the little free library at the house.

Anna and Carson came over to play.

A fun night at Cowabunga Bay. Davis refusing to cooperate for a picture. :)

We picked Andy up from BYU soccer camp and he was in such a terrible teen mood after haha.

Splash Summit with the Craguns and Thomases. I think this may have been the day Davis ran away from me while I was applying sunscreen, I couldn't find him for a few minutes, and he was saved by a lifeguard in the lazy river. It was absolutely terrifying.

Summer means I get to hike with my hiking group, which I really love. I think this is a Grandeur Peak hike.

My parents' homecoming day. I helped plan the food. It was such a special day.

Cheer camp for Violet

Abby graduated from her design program at Ensign College.

A fun night up the canyon.

Uptown Jungle playtime

Cameron and I hiked to sunset peak with Jamie and Kris Johnson

Family day at Splash Summit

Summer means visiting Snoasis (and the kids love giving the workers crazy names to call for their order)

Cameron and I had a magical weekend getaway to Park City that began with us riding Wasatch Crest.

Birthday dinner at Ruth's Chris

I think this is a celebration from Venna's Baptism

Cutest Davis. He really loves dragons. (But they have to be scary dragons, not cute dragons.)

Monroe's birthday party at the salon

A night at the symphony to hear Bronfman play Rachmaninoff.

We saw my lifelong piano teacher, Dr. Irene Peery-Fox there. All four of us took lessons from her!

Cameron, Andy, Blakely, and Charlie all went to a mountain biking race together.

Cameron went fishing in Alaska with Brendan, Greg, and his Uncle Dave.

Dinner up the canyon
