ice blocking

Our last cousin party was a night of ice blocking.

We went to a fun park with a HUGE hill.  

It was maybe too big of a hill for all the little kids we had.

Some of the kids slid for 3 feet and then lost their balance and the ice block flew down the hill.  

It ended up being excellent exercise for the adults. 

Some liked it more than others.

Henry could not get enough.

Max was a pro from the very beginning.

Darcy tried it superman style.

Gma and Gpa were VERY good sports!

It was hard work carrying up those heavy ice blocks.

Henry thought they tasted good.

We are going to miss our NJ Cousins.

We HEART our cousins!!!

My parents stayed up at the Mountain Side at Park City the week over the 4th of July. 

We were lucky enough to be able to go and spend a few days.

It was so fun to be with all of the cousins and play, play, play.

We did A LOT  of swimming.

We watched the parade down main street.

It was NOT amazing.

We watched some fun movies and ate a lot of Popsicles.

They had awesome campfire pits and we made s'mores every night.

We did a little dancing.

We took the local bus and went and did some shopping and sightseeing.

Grandma bought us all a fun treat.

We are so lucky to have cousins that live close and can get together so much.

These guys could not get enough of each other.

 Thank you mom and dad for providing so many opportunities to have fun and grow closer to one another.  

Liv got a library card

Olivia is my little reader.  

We went to the library last week.  Just the two of us.

We signed up for this little blue card.

She is thrilled and can't wait to use her "credit card."

I think running marathons is like having babies.  

You forget how tough it is and decided to do it again.

I ran the American Fork 1/2 with my friend Lisa.  We trained hard and ran a good race. I am glad it is over because it was all I could think about for weeks.  

The race was a super organized race, for a good cause, a perfect route, and so beautiful!

This is where Ryan and Lisa's husband met us and started taking pictures.

Our awesome support and fans.

I am not sure why we are both smiling.

 Finally the finish line.

Our amazing running friend, Leslie.

My darling friend, Ashley.

One day I will be as fast as her!

Happy #11!  Thanks for letting me run on our anniversary!

I love you!
