Bentley Turns ONE!

Bentley turned ONE in July too!  What an eventful month!!!  We sure love this little guy!  And we love any excuse to get together and play in the Summer!




These pics of Izzy and my Dad are some of my all time favorites.  Izzy has quite the belly laugh, and no one brings it out like Pops.














Bentley loved his cake....maybe even as much as his Dad... 

Soph and Dave had quite the cake fight - such a fun uncle!

July 2018

July was a great Summer month!  Kjersta AND Benny in town for Summer!!!  We got together with Linz - about to burst with twins - for lunch!  
Swimming and popsicles all day, every day!
We played at the splash pad with Kjersta and Fam!
Thomas left us for a WHOLE WEEK for Scout Camp!  His and My first one!  He was thrilled!  They got a little rained on, but had a great time.
Cuddling up after swimming. 
We "hiked" to the Dripping Rock.  Everybody came along for the fun!





On another day of fun, 7/11 Slurpee Day!
On Build A Bear day, we braved the Mall to see if we could get our Bear. Guess what - it was INSANE!  So we went to Target to get a treat instead!
Hiking Bridal Veil Falls

My dear Zumba friend Ginny went on a mission in July!
Bean Museum and BYU Creamery ice cream!



We went to the Pyro Technics firework show in town.  
It was after Kaley got CONTACTS!!!  Look at that beautiful girl!






It was here that we tried Cassie's Cookies - YUM!  Bentley was not the only one that thoroughly enjoyed the cookies!

Then T finally came home! 
Jace played baseball and finished up the season!  What a good looking baseball player!



I took the boys to the SF flag retiring ceremony.  What a neat experience!  My patriotic heart was full!  I loved seeing all the boys in their scout uniforms and hearing the little band play.  























On July 22, I was released from YW as the President.  It was just shy of 5 years total serving in the YW in this ward.  It was bittersweet for sure!  I will miss hanging out every week with these lovely ladies, but I am looking forward to my new calling as Primary Chorister! 

Beautiful teenager mowing the lawn.  

24th of July with friends! We love going to the Fiesta Days parade. It's always so fun to sit by the Murrays and sweat it out together! 








I took the kiddos to go see Incredibles 2 that afternoon. 
One day, we went up to Payson Lakes to fish.  The water was WAY low, so we didn't catch anything!

Our annual Zoo trip with cousins!



I went out with YW leaders to Fish Kiss in Provo and out to dinner.  I sure love these ladies!  We had a fun night laughing and bonding.




Jace and Bryson had fun watering Kimi Lee's flowers while she was out of town one week. 
Kaley went boating with Hannah for her birthday. 
We had a pool full of kids all Summer long! This was one day in particular that I remember. T went up to get a friend and came home with 5!  We had 13 or 14 kids in the pool that day!  I just LOVED having all those great kiddos over and having so much fun!






Seriously, it was like this ALL Summer long!  It was perfect.
