Summer in a wrap...

As you can tell, I am definitely not the best blogger, in fact I told myself I wasn't going to do it anymore. I tell myself I don't have time and I just don't want to do it! I have realized that this is the only journal that I really have, I am so bad at keeping a journal. I also love to look back and see everything that we have done in the last couple years and it is great to see it in pictures. So, once again I am going to try harder to blog for myself, just so I have the memories captured.

Since the last time I posted was in May, the beginning of Summer, it is only right to make my next post on the last day of August, the end of summer to me. So here it is, our summer in a wrap....

Amazing Race

The summer started out with the 2nd Annual Amazing Race Salt Lake City (we will see if there will be another). I think it turned out real fun. I only made a few mistakes but everyone was pretty good to understand. They had a lot of tasks to complete and the only one that I have on camera is Airborne where they had to jump for 10 minutes and then do a jump into the foam pit.

Some of the other tasks that were...

Wall Climbing at Momentum climbing

Singing "I am a little Tea Pot" at South Towne Mall

Eating cupcakes until you find the prize in side

Golfing at Mulligan's

Riding a scooter at Classic Rollerskating

and a lot, lot more!

Got Jipped (They kind of got "Jipped" last year)

The winning team-Soda-licious

That's what she said

Fanatics

ROK-Richards, Ormes, Kunz

The fight against abnormal, atypical, moles foundation...I think :)

The Walkie Talkies

We're on a mission

Can I get a Hot tub?

Norris

and again, We're on a mission...I am too lazy to delete the photo

The Avengers

The Wadalyers

The Creators

It was a lot of fun and a lot of work and well worth it!

The next adventure was the Ragnar Relay-Wasatch Back. This is always such a blast! We are lucky to have a fabulous team and a fabulous van. We don't do the race for the running, we do it for the company and the good laughs. This year was no exception.

Justin, Lou Lou, Nat, Collin, Keysha and Chad

Team- Powered by Gas or Bad ASSphalt...not quite sure which one we were??

Getting ready for night time runs. My night time run was ridiculous! They had us run on a railroad trail in the middle of the night with nothing but your headlamp. I was dodging rocks, holes and cow pies the whole time! I hated it!

The Ladies

Van 1 has finished, time for Van 2 to finish up...yuck!

The Men

Collin is trying to grab my chest...

All done! This was our 3rd year doing and sad to say that we are not doing it next year, I guess taking a break for a while. I am actually kind of bummed about it, right now it is kind of nice to think that I don't have to prepare for it, but when the time comes, I think it will be sad.

Bye, bye Ragnar!

Summer Basketball League

Cooper was in a summer basketball league that he really liked. Basketball is his thing, I must say he is pretty good at it too. I love to watch him play. His favorite team is the Lakers, and he was pretty excited when he found out that his team name was the Lakers. Yahoo!

Nice work Coop!

Girls Tuacahn Getaway

This was the 12th Annual Girls Tuacahn Getaway! I can't believe it has been 12 years! Every single year I look forward to this and I have only missed it one year. It is so great to get away with my mom, sisters, grandma and cousins. I only see my cousins a couple times a year so it is so much fun to spend the weekend with them. We missed you Denni and Preslee!

Grandma and Mom-the ones that make it happen for us!

Cousin Cobi

Every year we go to the Bear Claw to have a yummy breakfast. Here we all are waiting to get seated.

Yum, yum!

We made a visit to our favorite new spot, SWIGS, so GOOD! They have sugar cookies that they frost right before they serve them, they are scrumptious! They also have delicious Shaved Ice.

I think we made two or three stops while we were there.

Hollie didn't even have to hold her snow cone, it rested perfectly on her belly.:)

We did a little swimming thanks to Aunt Julie letting us use her pool.

On Thursday and Friday night we go to the Tuacahn plays, Thursday night was Grease. Grease was cute, I think I expected more though. I feel that each year they really focus on one of the plays and this year they really focused on Little Mermaid, so Grease wasn't as good as anticipated. The Little Mermaid was really good though. They did such a great job with it.

The last night we leave a little early and take a few pictures of the whole group. This year we did a few photo shoots of a few of us....

This is Grandma's photo shoot, such a fun lady!

Ohh laa, laa! Stacy!

Rrrrr....

Hollie being so seductive I couldn't even concentrate on focusing the camera.

and then there was Jacki, the most beautiful of them all....:)

Grandma with the grandkids

Stacky, Hollie, Grandma, Jacki, Nat, Cobi & Angie (missing Denni)

The whole crew

I already can't wait until next year! Thanks Grandma!
