Crazy Days of Summer
Since college has started, I have been reminiscing about the crazy summer I had. It was so much fun, and now I'm back in the swing of things at Utah State. These are the last few pictures of summer with the family that I look at and wish they could have lasted a bit longer.
Hannah enjoyed her birthday at High Creek.
While we were there, we went exploring and found some great walking sticks. They were a good idea until Trevor started to hit people with his small walking stick. They were promptly put into the camp fire after that.
Dad has a really good looking straw hat that makes him look like Kenny Chesney. What do you think?
Emma and Aspen came and stayed with us for a while. Those girls are so cute and were fun to have around.
Mom always seems to have fresh supply of ice cream bars to eat on Sunday. The kids would play in the backyard and after we had ice cream. What a wonderful way to spend a summer Sunday evening.
Courtney likes to go out with the kids and play with them in the backyard. This is of Courtney stealing kisses from Emma in the swing. I wish I had a video of it, because it was so cute.
The new swing set has been a hit. It accommodates a lot more children and I can even swing on it now. This summer was filled with loads of fun out in the backyard.

a weekend of celebrations
Grandma Hall celebrated her 90th birthday today, but that didn't stop us from partying all weekend long. The "weekend of celebrations" actually began on Thursday. Her children took her to the Coppermill for a birthday dinner. On Saturday we enjoyed the company of ALL our relatives at a family reunion where Grandma was honored (as seen a few posts down). We ate some delicious food that was provided by everyone. Thanks! More pictures are seen below about the Roxanna Satyra Spackman Bodily Larsen Reunion.
Then on Monday night, our family celebrated with at family home evening at Evan and Diane's house. The program was lovely with an allotted time for picture taking with Grandma,
a ceremonial releasing of her posterity represented by balloons (87 just so you know),
a wonderful slide show presented by Vanessa, and receiving a picture and life history of Grandma. They are awesome and took a lot of work. Thank you! Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this so special.
(Before the show began "the children" were told to sit on the floor. We took a few pictures and told them to look like they love each other...notice the arms around everyone in the bottom picture)
(and I just couldn't leave this out. Trevor is just so cute. We took pictures took keep him occupied.)

a little cook out
Monday night for FHE, we went up to Willow Flat to have a little cook out. After we ate a delicious tin foil dinner, we went Hiking up to the spring.
***After about 2 minutes into the hike, we had a hard time keeping Trevor from stopping every few steps to find a good skipping rock (thanks Brandon). We had Trevor ride on Garricks shoulders for the remainder of the hike
*** Kaitlyn and Hannah thought the hike was way too far for her legs. I gave Hannah a piggy back ride for a good part of the way. Courtney kept pushing Kaitlyn, even though she didn't like his gentle motivation. The most frightening part for everyone was crossing the oh-so-scary bridge. Kaitlyn had to close her eyes to get accross and Hannah tried not to look down at the raging water.
When we arrived back to the campsite, Grandma Hall and Grandma Richards told stories of our ancestors.
A cook out wouldn't be complete without Smores! Mom even made apple cobbler, but the kids sure loved roasting the marshmellos.
(notice Mom's perfect marshmellos. She always makes really good ones)
