It's August Already?!
Summer is just flying by! I finally got around to uploading the pictures on my camera this morning, and was surprised to see some that I had forgotten all about! Anna's birthday for instance...
My Anna girl turned 7! When I was a kid we had to wait until dinner to open our birthday presents, but my kids get to open them as soon as they wake up on their birthday. Hence the PJ's and robes.
Finally!! Anna has been wanting a scooter for a long time.
We had a horse themed birthday party for her friends in the afternoon.
Then the family party later that night.
Watch out for the severed man hand on the right!!
A random summer day with friends. They were all eating snacks and making faces.
The kids eating hot dogs out on the deck. I think they look pretty relaxed.
I had to be very sneaky to get this picture. The girls were dancing in the kitchen, but they were too embarrassed to let me watch them. So I just snuck my camera around the corner and snapped it once-a little blurry, but I got it!
Yesterday we went to visit uncle Danny and aunt Carissa. They have a community garden spot, and we picked the first ripe tomato of the season to eat with our picnic.
"We made a tomato!" He He!
We had our picnic lunch at this great park near their apartment. It's on a steep hill so it's got a great view of the city.
Underdog!
That's it! I think I'm all caught up. Only three more weeks of summer. Sad face.

Swimming Lessons and Rock Movin'
The kids have been taking swim lessons for a few weeks and they love it!
Matt makes this face a lot. The chlorine stings his eyes!!
Kent has been wanting to add some rocks to our landscaping for a long time, and finally, on friday we got some!
Thirteen big, beautiful boulders. Now all we had to do was move them.
Plan A: build clever rock moving cart.
"Stop taking pictures and help me heave this rock!"
Turns out Kent's and my brute strength combined was not enough. So, Plan B: I made a call to the rental place down the hill from us, and a few minutes later we had one of these handy machines.
It did not take long for Kent to get the hang of the controls of this thing. I guess it's not that different from an Xbox controller.
"More pictures!!"
Later that night, after all the rocks had been put in place, some friends came over for a BBQ. Anna loved thier 3 week old baby, Ryder -- he was so cute!

Ragnar!
This last weekend I got to run the ragnar Wasatch back relay race. My uncle invited me to be on his team "the Knights of Knee". There are 12 people on the team and each runs 3 legs of the 192 mile race from Logan to Park city.
The people on your team drive along while you are running and give you drinks and cheer for you, or in our case banged coconuts.
Near Jordanelle reservoir on day 2
You even run at night.
Everyone runs across the finish together.
