August Fun

I haven't blogged in a while.  Here's a sampling of what we did:

1. Lots of swimming in Grandma's pool and hot tub with cousins and aunts and uncles (poor Evelyn is not old enough to go in the hot tub yet.)

Abigail in her swimsuit someone gave me.  She did not get in the pool.  

 2. Jared got an amazing rocket from Grandpa and Grandma for his birthday.  It goes up to 1100 feet high!  We have had lots of fun launching it on a couple of different days. 

3. Jared had a fun pack meeting for scouts.  He earned his Wolf award, and then our whole family (minus Abby and me) went kayaking.

4. We have gone up the canyon a handful of times to roast hot dogs and marshmallows.

 5. We celebrated my birthday.  Alan made yummy omelettes for breakfast.  Then we went on a ward picnic for lunch.  We had a yummy dinner of lasagna soup and this AMAZING Andes mint cake I made (it literally took me three hours to make the day before my birthday.)

 

 Alan surprised me with a new fun game called Rolling Through the Ages.  I love it!
