Summer Update

We have had a fun and busy summer.. I can't believe how fast it is flying by. Here are some pictures of our summer so far.

One of the biggest events happened on Sunday. Our little girl turned 4 years old! I still can't believe she is 4. She is such a delight to have in our family, and we love her very much. She is all girl, she loves playing dress up and barbies. She is our little princess.


On Saturday we had a Cook family reunion at Jordanelle Reservior, we didn't take our camera. On Sunday for her birthday we had Crepes for dinner at Maddie's request and had Ben, Christina, Charlie and Andy over for dinner.


We had an eventful 4th of July weekend. We went to Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake on Saturday. It was our first time swimming in it. You really float! It is incredible, it would be hard to sink. It is so, so salty. Saturday night we had yummy BBQ with some neighbors and did some fireworks in the street.



On Sunday, we had the blessing of my niece Ellie and we had Heather and her family come back to Tooele to stay and my Dad and Step Mom were in town from Texas. On Monday, we went swimming with family, the kids had a blast. In the evening we went to the bees game. It was a lot fun even though they lost. There was an amazing firework show to patriotic music. It was Pauline's last night in the USA, and it was a good send off for her. Maddie was excited she got to meet a life sized Snuggle bear and Bumble the Bee.

June was also an eventful month. We went to the Bonneville salt flats, there is salt as far as you can see in every direction.





We went to Manti for the Mormon Miracle Pageant. This was our first time taking Max and he loved it. The kids had a great time playing with cousins.



We also went shooting, shot rockets and went on a lot of scenic drives.
