Catch up!

So, it's been awhile! Here's a quick run down of our summer fun:

Hannah ran a Ragnar with some friends from school. They got together earlier in the week and created their own costumes. Not to be a bragging mom or anything ;) but Hannah had the fastest mile time on her team. Go Han!

What the boys (and Matt is included) do with chum from an optometry conference before bed.

This is Kate's good friend Alissa! She is the daughter of my good friend Jenn. We took the kids for famous and delicious Aggie Ice Cream. It's become a tradition to get there at least once each summer. This was the only picture of the two girls holding still and looking at the camera and kind of smiling. Aren't they cute?!


Jenn, Jared and the girls. Matt was unable to come. Thanks, Jared, for helping Kate eat her messy cone!




Ryan and Nate Bohman and Cole and Han. And, of course, that delicious Aggie ice cream!








Han has never played softball before this summer. She is a natural. Here she is stealing third base!

Han scored the winning run for this game. Here she is with her biggest supporters after the win!

Wish they could stay this young and sweet forever!

Matt took the boys to Father and Son's outing. They came back dirty and exhausted, but otherwise had a great time!

Matt's parents (old folks on the right :) left this summer to serve a mission on a church ranch in Nebraska. This picture was taken the morning they left. The people on the right are Dennis and Linda Brown, good friends for Chuck and Diane's ward. They are serving with them. Chuck and Diane were able to take their dog Woody and their four-wheeler! How great of a mission is that?!

Kate turned two the end of May and this is the best picture we took that day. I guess the rest is on video. Oh, well. She loves to look like a "pah-RIN-cess" when she gets dressed for church on Sundays so...we had a "pah-RIN-cess" party. Kate is two and acts like she's two, but a very sweet two :)!

In May my mother retired from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The Choir had a retirement ceremony after the broadcast. It was very nice. We heard a bit about each person retiring then were able to hear from the prophet. It was a great, beautiful day. Temple Square is always beautiful!

I don't know why I don't have a picture of my mom, the prophet and Mr. Mac, but I'm sure a noisy kid had something to do with it. :) Guess this will have to do.

The grandkids.
