Tyler & BYU Football at Pack Meeting!

This was Josh's first flag cermony!
Our cousin Tyler (who is on the BYU football team), came to Josh's Pack Meeting and talked to all of the boy's about what it takes to become a good athlete and about sportsmanship. He brought some of his teammates from BYU and they all took a few minutes and talked to the boy's. They did a great job!
After their talks they played a game of football with the boys. This was so fun, I mean how many 8-10 year old boys get to play football with REAL BYU football players!

The BYU boys were so cute and fun with the little boys. After tonight, Josh might just be the most popular guy around, for having such a cool cousin!

Have to LOVE Summertime!

Brad has a few weeks off this time of year and is a strong believer that EVERY minute should be spent on some kind of fun activity. Here is Halle, Josh and Brad hiking up at Sundance!
Bridal Veil Falls
We made it almost to the top!
Yesterday we hiked up to the Y. Funny story: At the bottom of the trail there is a sign with a map, I didn't look at it too closely I just saw something that said .17, so I told Matthew he should sprint up the trail to the Y because it was less than a quarter of a mile and it would be good conditioning for him. He took off running as the rest of us walked. At the first corner I saw another sign and realized the .17 was the distance to the first corner (there were 11 corners). Matthew ran almost the entire way! He said he kept thinking that he couldn't believe what a wimp he was being because he was so tired and it was ONLY a quarter of a mile!

Here are Halle and Josh walking from the bottom of the Y to the top.

When we finished the hike and got in the car Halle told us she "wished she hadn't gone with us because her entire body hurt, even her DNA"

Happy 4th of July!!!

The highlight of the parade (at least for us) was Halle cheering with the Timpview Cheerleaders! My sister, Lisa, is the cheer advisor so she invited Halle to be in the parade with them.
After the parade we went swimming at my parents and then Brad took all of the kids to the park to let off his rockets!

Later we went to Dave & Ali's house to let off our fireworks!

Halle is still scared of the fireworks, so she watched the show from the window!

James & Abbie's Wedding!

One of our tennis players, James Ludlow, got married last week! We LOVE Abbie, so we were so excited for him. It was also great because some of his old team members came in town for the wedding, so we had a mini reunion. Here are Jonathon, Chippy, Abbie, James, Cassidy & Zach at the wedding dinner the night before the big day!

Two times, thirty minutes, the same Policeman!

I know this isn't a good picture, but I got pulled over 2 times this morning for speeding by the same policeman. Once on my way to Target and once on my way home. I almost had him convinced that OBVIOUSLY the speed limit is too low on that road. The first time he pulled me over, I told him that I had a lot of things to do and his taking my time wasn't helping anything and that if he didn't hurry I would have to "double speed" to get caught up on the day. So when he pulled me over on my way back from Target, I let him know that I was 15 minutes behind on the day because of the time he took earlier, so I had no choice but to drive faster. He actually openly laughed at me and told me this was a first for him, he said he had heard every excuse there was but never that it was HIS fault someone was speeding. He didn't even give me a warning the second time he just told me to slow down. So then, of course, I told him I needed his picture for our family blog!
