What an exciting couple of weeks!!

So here is a summary of our last couple of weeks, minus pictures, so sorry, because again, I lost my camera, but found it again, so more pics to come soon! The weekend of the 18th, we went to Star Valley, WY, for my bff Dena's sons baptism. We got there a few minutes late, but got there in time for the baptism. I gave an frazzled, unorganized talk on the holy ghost, and Nate confirmed Spencer. It was so great to be a part of this special day! We had a bbq at the park after, then spent the night at Dena and Johns house. The kids all started off in the tent, but one by one, they ended up in the house because they were scared. I cant really blame them, they do live in the mountains, a little scarier than sleeping in our backyard in the city! The next day, we went to Denas parents and rode horses. It was a first for my kids, and pretty exciting for everyone. The following Thursday, we were off for another adventure at our friends the Burbanks in Idaho for fishing. We got there in time for dinner Thursday, and went to a great, fun, pack meeting at their church, then the boys got up at 5:30 am to go fishing. They all had great success, but only one was big enough to eat, so we had sandwiches and shared their "catch" for lunch. I didn't eat it, but the kids and dads liked it! Marleigh and I had a lot of fun hanging out at their house with Jen and baby Melanie. Its always so fun to get together with them! This weekend, we had a family swim party in Spanish Fork, then on to my uncle Matt and Aunt Karla's for pizza and cake to celebrate my sister. Lindsay's bday. The swim party was so fun, and well planned by Leah, and Karla went to so much work to having stuff for the kids, and making a great cake for Lindsay, and getting Lindsay's favorite ice cream, and plates in her favorite color, she's so great like that! Sunday we went to my mom and dads ward to hear them speak, then on to their house for a bbq with everyone- my brother Austin moved to Indianapolis last year, and was in town, it was so great to spend time with him, and my sis and her boys, and grandpa and grandma, and my aunt Tawnya, her husband, and their 3 kids- they just moved from Germany, and after their family vacation, they are on to Japan. How amazing that is! It was so good to see them! SO that is my summary, and maybe my next post will be a pictures only post to make up for my lack of pictures- sorry again! Only one more month of summer, so we will be cramming in a few more things before school starts, and taking lots of pics!
