Our hike up the mountain in our back yard.

Some pictures of my kids playing outside tonight.

We had a family triathalon and it was fun. I was excited that Summer and Logan were part of my team and that I just had to do the bike ride instead of everything. It was really tough and I need to be in better shape next time--if there is a next time... I took some fun pictures of the event. I also got together for a lot of family barbeques that were fun. This Thursday is Lauren's birthday and she will be 15 years old. It has been incredible weather here in Utah and I love the evening cool breeze. My dad had his 75th birthday and my sister's husband Alan Larsen--we had fun celebrating!

I love how my dad's birthday and Father's Day are so close together. His birthday is Monday and we are celebrating at my sister's house. I love my dad sooo very much! He has set a great example for me and has been there for me in times of trial and stress in my life. He is a wonderful father and a great poet. He loves to write and writes poetry often to my mother and often to the family as well.. He has always been a great writer and note taker. I'm thankful that my mom and dad are strong members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and were married in the temple. My dad will be 75 this year and my parents have been married for 50 years this year. Father's Day will be this Sunday and his birthday Monday--My husband is currently in Alabama and working on the house and other errands he had to do before comming back to Utah in July. I also want to wish my husband a Happy Father's Day--he also has been a good father and loves the children. Today was a gorgeous day here in Utah and I took lots of walks out in the sunshine.

Hello here are some pictures of my weekend with my family. I went to my Uncle Larry's house and his wife Arlene in Richmond, Utah close to Logan near my mom's house.

This morning the kids and I drove to Logan, Utah to attend Larry and Arlene's mission farewell to France. We had a family dinner at my mom's house this morning before the meeting. After the meeting, we had cookies and ice cream for dessert it was really fun. My dad's sister Janice was there and it was good to talk to her a while. I talked to Jeff on the phone and he is in Alabama right now. I took lots of pictures, so I will post some of them sometime.

This morning I took my husband to the airport to fly back to Alabama for a couple weeks. He will start framing our house in Alabama and then come back in July to work here in Utah. It has been a really cool, rainy day here in Utah but I like the cool weather. Tomorrow I will take my kids to Logan, Utah to visit my parents and eat Sunday dinner with them and then go to my Uncle Larry and Arlene's farewell to the Paris, France mission. My neice Chelsie is going to the same mission.
