~Wedding~

My beautiful niece Alex got married. It was such a fun day. I am so proud of her!!

Car Ride

I sat in the back next to Karsten on our way to take Tripper to the airport.  I got some good shots of the kids.  Now I see what they do while I am driving. :)

 At least we got one shot at Temple Square.  Too bad Tripper isn't in it. We were trying to hurry super fast because we wanted to see everything and we didn't have  a lot of time before his plane left. 

Rain Gutter Regatta

The boys with their boats.  (Kai and Karsten got to make and race theirs just for fun, but they thought they were pretty special!)

 Koby did great!

 He placed second, but it was so close they had to have a photo finish.  He didn't take it very well, but at least he smiled for the picture! :)

Hiking the Y twice

We all made it to the top!  Tripper carried the big boy Kai on his shoulders most of the way up and I carried Karsten with the backpack.  It was very steep but we all made it and the view was beautiful!

 Love this picture!!

 A week earlier Mikaela's soccer team hiked the Y and I went as a parent helper.  It helped me get in shape for the next week when I had to do it with Karsten on my back!

Tripper & the Gentry's came to visit

 Karsten getting the door for his future wife.  Yes we already have two arranged marriages. :)

I am sad we didn't get more pictures with Tripper!  He was here for a full week, but we were so busy that we didn't have a lot of time to stop and take pictures.  We had a lot of fun with visits from our Washington people. :)

Happy Birthday Koby!

Happy Birthday to our 9 year old!

He got super smash bros for his morning gift.  He was just a little excited.

 We hiked the Y for his b-day.

 The whole crew made it.  We had Elder Eli Johnson and Tripper Frost with us.

 Koby loves the Y!

We are so happy to have this happy, stubborn, cute, temper mental boy in our lives.  He brings us so much joy!  We love you Koby! :)
