Summer Days

Summer days are starting to wind down quickly :( Here is how we spent a little bit of our July summer days trying to soak up the last few weeks of summer.  

Lots of jumping on the trampoline.  
On this day we put a sprinkler under the trampoline. 
 The girls thought that was pretty awesome. 

Big brother joining in with water balloons on the trampoline :)

Afton and Jim have been making lots of jam this summer!!!

Lots and lots of swimming.
 On this day we went to Cottonwood

Happy Swimmer!

Cute little Afton

Lizzie and her friends Sophie and Sarah even had a little dance routine all planned out. 

This is what my girls do in the cold dairy section of Costco. 
 Every time we go in  they feel the need to cuddle up for warmth :)

Summer time is always a great time to see friends who live far away 
that come to Utah to visit family.
  This is Brian and Melissa Farnsworth.  Brian was one of Jim's roommates at Utah State.  

I have been running again. 
My pace is much slower than years past of training :(
 I have to keep reminding myself you have to start somewhere right?
 This is my longest run so far (July 10th). 
The MapMyRun app on my phone is my new best friend on runs. 
 I am trying to get ready for the Half Marathon in September.  

Ethan finished up summer volleyball. 
 He was the only boy on the team.  It was fun to see how much he has improved since Spring.  

Lucky cuddling with a kitty :)

Dog days of summer

At the end of swim lessons they got to go off the diving board!!!
  Afton ended up going 3 more times!

There she goes!

Lilly on the other hand was more hesitant.
 Her instructor walked to the end with her and then dropped her to the other instructor :)

Board Game Action

July 27th to July 31st this boy headed off to Scout camp.
They went to go hike King's Peak.
