Summer 2013

We had a great summer of 2013

 

 

Sara graduated from the 6th grade and earned the Hope of America award and the President's education award.

Ryan took swimming lessons in a class that was more advanced then he was, but he LOVED it and learned a lot.

Jakob went to High adventure camp.

 

Sara got her first round of braces off.

 

Celebrated Father's Day 

Our 18th anniversary 

Ryan played T-ball for the first time with 2 of his good friends.

Had a great 4th of July

Saw Monster's University on the 4th of July.

 



Went swimming with friends.

Jakob went to German camp for a week.

Steve and I went to see the Wicked Diva's in Deer Valley.  It was my Mother's Day gift.

Our nephew Dallin came home from his mission to San Antonio, Texas.

Sara and I got to go to Girls camp together.

 



And I had a Vegas reunion with my sisters and friends.  It was an 80's theme night thought up by Kimberly.  Crazy but fun!!!



Happy Birthday Sara

My little girl turned 12 this year.  I can't believe what a beautiful young woman she has become.  I think she had a great birthday filled with lost of fun.  It seemed like we celebrated for a couple of weeks with this one.

 

She started out her day with breakfast in bed. 

Opened a few presents.

Had a little cake.

 

More presents from her activity day leaders. 

A room full of balloons. 

Dinner at Texas Road House.

A new desk.

Got her ears pierced.

Had a fun birthday party with her friends in Salt Lake at her Aunt Julie's!

Memorial Day

We started our Memorial Day weekend on Sunday and went to my Grandma and Grandpa's graves in Bountiful.

 

 

Monday we met up with the Niederhauser's in Logan.  I love this tradition.  We get to remember our loved ones who have passed away and make new memories with our loved ones that are still here.

All the grandkids that were there that day.

It was a little chilly this year.  We are trying to warm up in the sun.

 



It's not Memorial Day without going to Charlie's for ice cream.

 

 

Then off to visit my 4th great grandpa Peter Maughan.

 

 



This year we added something new to our day.  We ate at the Fire House pizzeria.  Yummy!!! I had to push the hands away so I could snap this picture.  You put a dessert in front of my family and it's like a magic trick.  You blink and it's gone.

End of May

Jakob was able to finally get his braces.  He has plenty of room in his mouth for his teeth, he just had a little over bite and the orthodontist wanted to bring his teeth closer together.

 

Before...

 



After 

His dinner a few days later.  He couldn't eat his hamburger without us cutting it up.

 

 

 



Ryan's kindergarten class wrote their own opera and painted their scenery for it also.  I got to help out with the painting.  I was very impressed with how well they did. 

 

I took Sara and a few of her friends to Lagoon for their Dare Lagoon day.
