We were able to get tickets to the open house of the Oquirrh Mountain temple. We went with my immediate family minus Stacy and her brood(we missed you). It is such a humbling experience when you go through with your family and the kids and feel such peace. It is a very beautiful temple.. course aren't they all?
Our summer so far.......
busy and amazing. We have been camping, fishing, BBQs, swimming, birthday parties, playing with cousins and friends, reunions, boating, swimming lessons, four wheeling, late nights, Preston even made it to a week long Washington trip with his favorite cousin Karrie... the list could go on and on. I love it!!
This Moon Lake back in June. We went with friends and had a great time. It only rained two out of the three days. Ha Ha!! Karla and Erin even made it up for the day ! Love this picture of the boys fishing looking at each other.
Even a little horseback riding
All the cute kiddlelids
Our family
Here we are boating. We headed to Pineview(which I love!) and went boating with Karrie on her new boat! I didn't even take pictures of it or Karrie for that matter(ok i have two but she will kill me if I put those on here. They aren't very good. We had such a fun time! Thanks for the condo and the food, Karla. We always have fun with you guys. My kids are insane in the water. Zach decided he wanted to "surf" instead.
I was proud of Preston for even trying to wakeboard. Harder than it looks. He couldn't quite get up so stuck to tubing. Karrie made it look so easy. (Can click on pictures to view bigger, don't know why I made them so small.)
Playing in the rain. June was such a rainy month!
Fourth of July. This is the only picture I took. How lame! Zach with cousins (he is one the far left). Allen starting fireworks a little early. This is his favorite holiday. He is such a pyromanic!
Playing with cousins on the big slide and below chicken fights in the pool. Preston is holding BreAnne on his shoulders. She is 22!
Swim lessons
Last week was a rough week for us. I was sick (still have a little bit of a cough) with brochitis. I don't know how I got sick during the summer but it was miserable all of last week. I finally went to the doctor and got meds which didn't help a heck of a lot. Then to top it off at the end of the week, on a Friday night, Zach got stung by a wasp on right by his eye. He was screaming (those wasp stings really hurt). Allen got some ice and I came upstairs to look and I screamed because he was puffing up. It continued to get progressively worse. I had my sister call her nurse and the nurse said that she had just got stung by a wasp recently and he might have had a allergic reaction and to watch it and give him ibruproven and benadryl. Saturday wasn't too bad, (he even went swimming that day) and then Sunday it was worse. His eye was swollen shut. I got on the phone with the nurse again and she said to give him an extra dose of benadryl and to watch. If not better, we would have to bring him to the emergency room. The benadryl immediately helped. So with a lot of rest, drugs, nurses calls and prayers, Zach is feeling like himself again. So glad that week is over.
