Utah: Layton Visit

We had lots of fun and lots to do at the Craw's house this summer! Gigi and Liam love swimming in the hot tub...

wearing Grandpa's old flight jackets...

yummy s'mores by the fire...

a fun day at Cherry Hill Waterpark...

Liam loves doing puzzles!

and going on walks with Grandma, Buddy and Kramer!

We had such a great time in Utah but are ready to be back home! 

Utah: Race and Parade

While I was with my family, my sisters and I ran the Speedy Spaniard 10k on the 24th of July. I have been training to improve my pace and my goal was to finish the race in under an hour. My time was 56:38 and my pace was 9:07 per mile! I was so happy since I shaved off over 6 mins from last year!

Gigi and Liam also ran the kids 1 mile race and they both did so good! It was the first race for both of them and I was so proud. Liam told me at the end that he was tired but he never gave up and just kept running!

all the cousins who ran the 1 mile...

After the race we all had to hurry since my brother in law James, had a float in the Spanish Fork 24th of July parade. Everyone helped out with dressing up and throwing out candy. I think the kids enjoyed giving out the candy more than eating it!

Utah: Elk Ridge Visit

I drove down south to spend some time with my family. Here's a car selfie of us (don't worry, I wasn't driving at the time!)...

We had a family date night at The Escape Key which was so much fun! We had to work together to solve a puzzle and we finished the hardest one they had!

Adam really wanted to take the kids to a soccer game since they loved soccer camp so much. It was a beautiful night for a game and the kids loved eating all the treats of course!

rock climbing in my brother's basement...

Tricia and I had to get a pic of all the family dachshunds, but we are missing little Maple. It was quite the production with Tricia holding up several pieces of ham behind me while I snapped lots of pics! :)

Liam and his cousin Preston in matching pj's

And we took lots and lots of trips to the Spanish Fork pool with my sisters. The cousins all had so much fun together!

Utah: Grandpa's VW Bug

Grandpa took the younger cousins on a ride around the neighborhood in his VW bug. They all loved it!


It has been five years since we got a pic of all the grandkids with grandpas bug so we had to get another one!

Utah: Visit to Logan and 4th of July

Every summer, we take our annual trip to Utah to spend time with family. We first headed up to Logan to visit the Reeders and to celebrate the 4th of July. Since Caroline will be attending Utah State in the Fall, we went on a return to your roots tour of the campus! It was fun seeing all of the places we used to go and to see how the campus has changed.

We then celebrated the 4th of July with a pool party of course! Adam and the kids all practiced their cannonballs...

Me doing what I do best, relaxing by the pool! :)

and Liam all tired out from sun and swim

I had to get a family pic even though the kids are tired and a little sunburned!

Gigi and Liam are ready for Uncle Mark's firework show! It was a great day!
