Summer 2011 Top Twelve...in no particular order!


CAA 2011-2012 Topaz Team
Go Abby!
Emi and Lexi EFY 2012
12. EFY, Volleyball Camps, and Dancing lessons, plus a little soccer too! Everyone had something fun to do!

I have hundreds of pictures the kids have taking doing "photo shoots!" Impossible to decide which to post!
11. Sprinklers, Popsicles and Photo Shoots (the kiddos doing their own)...what summer would be complete without those!
August 2011 Bear Lake with The Naegles

June 2011 Howe Family Cabin

10.  Bear Lake TWICE...Yep, the whole family headed up north in June for our annual retreat at the Howe Family Cabin and had a blast with our Howe cousins!  Then the kids were thrilled to be invited to the Naegle Cabin in August to celebrate the last weekend of summer!  Rob and I spent our own little weekend get-away at home sans kiddos! Talk about win-win!

St. George June 2011
9.  Oh how we love St. George! Especially when we get to celebrate Grandpa Hansen's 90th birthday party with lots of Hansen's cousins!  I think one of the highlights of the trip was Rob and I sharing the bunk room with Matt, Justin, and Brenley! Haha!

Summer Fun 2011!
8. Visits and outings with our out-of-town cousins and friends! We made it to Kennecott Copper Mine, The Children's Museum, swam, did crazy make-overs, dyed our hair with Kool-aid and even recorded our own version of cupcake wars!

Mode of Transport to tennis courts: Scooter
Dedicated tennis partner: Andrew
7.   Tennis, tennis and tennis...Emily worked hard all through July and got the last spot on the Bountiful Braves Tennis Team!  Way to go!

We will be there every year!
6.  Discovered the West Bountiful Fourth of July parade...short and sweet! It was perfect.  Even better was that Abby was in it representing her junior high as a 7th grade officer!

Meeting Trapper!
5.  Meeting Trapper, Uncle Sam's new horse, added some excitement to our July!  The kids even got to feed him!

Maplewood Summer Camps 2011
4.  Maplewood Summer Camps run by Emily and Abby will definitely become an annual event at our home.  They made a little cash and the kids had a lot of fun!

Davey loves Andrew's wheels!
3.  The scooter was replaced by Colonel Mustard!  The truck and Davey became fast friends...we miss Colonel Mustard! And occasionally, the motorcycle would make a short appearance...and Rob even let Emily go on a few rides!

We even got to see the Adams Family there too! 
2.  Oakley Rodeo was lots of fun.  It had been way to long since we headed that way! Enjoyed by all...even with a little rain and even though we lost TWO umbrellas!

No more tears! It used to be tough for a 13 year old to compete with a 1 year old on her birthday! Poor Missa...I am sorry we weren't more sensitive! But now just happy birthday girls!
3. Celebrated Abby and Aunt Missa's August birthdays just as school was getting ready to start.  Are you impressed with our treats?

Holbrook Canyon, just five minutes from our house! Sadly, the only picture of me in this post is on an early-morning hike! Scary! We had to say a prayer half-way up because Lizzie's fear of mountain lions was literally paralyzing her! We made it back safely! 
2. Very successful Girls Camp and Family Gala and even a few early AM hikes!

You don't get much cuter than this!
1.  Cyrus came to stay all by himself while his parents visited South America! We sure loved having that little guy around! Too bad he really lives in Armenia!
