I know, I know I am so behind on my posts.  A week after we got home from Utah I was called to be the Relief Society President and then school and sports started and it has been crazy ever since. So here is my attempt to get caught up.

Trip to Utah
This year we decided to spend a whole month in Utah. We flew out at the end of June, once the kids got scout camps, football camps, girls camp and youth conference out of the way. We flew home at  the end of July. We stayed very busy and had a ton of fun. Unfortunately dad could not take time off work and come out with us.

A few days after we got there we traveled down to St. George to Gramdma and Grandpa Maxfield's new house.

We spent tons of time relaxing by the pool. It was so nice.

Now that is relaxing :). They were actually playing a game to see who could jump onto all the pool toys and actually stay on. Casey was the only one to make it. After that the raft war began.

Grandpa Laurie took the kids on some hikes. Teegan's favorite was the lemon squeeze.

We had  fun spending time together

We hurried back to Sandy and made it to the Sandy City 4th of July parade

 Through out the next month we hit Airborne, a big trampoline, jump place

The kids did baptisms at the Draper Temple

They made pens with Grandpa Laurie

We spent a few hours one morning playing with the kids who were staying at the Christmas Box House. A home for neglected and abused kids.

We took a tour of the Sweets Candy Factory

We spent a couple of hours at Temple Square (we could have stayed for a whole day)

See much better without us ;)

Whitney went to BYU soccer camp

She stayed at the dorms for a week and did nothing but soccer and hang out. She had a great time and her team ended up winning the whole tournament.  

We went to a cabin with the Brown family for a long weekend

We watched a lot of movies in the great media room

 

We played our version of

MINUTE TO WIN IT

 

The best part was just hanging out with cousins

Mike's Birthday

Mike had an Iron Man birthday this year. We went out to dinner Sat night and then had a little party on Sunday

This is him singing happy birthday to himself

Happy Forth of July! I have lots to catch up on. A week and a half ago we made our way to....

We have been having a great time hanging with family. I have lots of pictures to share but that will have to wait for another day since we have plans today. 

Whitney and her friends had a great time at the 3 v 3World Soccer Tour

They ended up playing 3 boys teams. The first team was a group of high school seniors. We lost :)

They ended up taking 3rd overall and 1st in the girls division

Swim Meet

Teegan had his second swim meet last Monday
evening. He did great. I was very impressed. He is turning into a great little swimmer.







 They practice every morning up at our neighborhood pool. It amazes me how many laps they swim.

Is it just me or is the kid in the last lane running on water. :) 

Swim meets are definitely a new adventure. It was 106,  I had very little water for all of us and nothing to sit on. I had no idea we were going to be there for 4 hours! We live and learn.

 I logged onto facebook this afternoon, which if you are my friend you know I NEVER do, and found my aunt had just posted this picture of my Grandpa Bourne. What a great surprise. The picture was taken in 1986 probably just a few years before he passed away.

Summer

School is out and it is officially summer.
 So far it has been filled with swim team practices, Teegan's scout camp, Landon's football camp, Whitney's youth conference and Teegan's swim meet. Not to mention all the small activities in between. The first two weeks have flown by! Tomorrow morning Landon is off to scout camp for a week and Whitney will be at girls camp the next week. A few days after that June will almost be over and we will be on the plane to Utah for a summer visit. I told the kids this morning that before we know it they will be leaving me and heading back to school. (sob) I love having them home.
