Summer Fun and Utah

We have had a very fun very busy week. We went to Utah this weekend for the Oquirrh temple open house. I thought the it was so beautiful. I loved all the stars throughout. I especially loved the chandeliers and windows. I told Kyle "if we get married again it should be here". I got a funny look! My Aunt Bonnie went through with us and it was so nice to see her! I wish we lived closer so we could spend more time with everyone. We also got to see some of Ky's family. Devin and Julie were nice enough to put us up for the night. We spent Saturday evening in the park enjoying a cookout and playing. Gene, Cole, and Sydney joined us and we got some cute pictures. The "big kids" had a climbing contest and enjoyed the slide more than the little kids did! It was so nice to see everyone. Anna and Cole are getting so big. Sydney is taller than me by a good inch! We had fun. Then on Sunday we stopped by U of U hospital on our way home to visit Mahon and Cindy. Cindy is in for a round of antibiotics. The girls loved playing on the escalators and we visited. I thought Cindy was looking a little better, maybe it was the company! I still don't know how she survives two weeks in there though. I found it ironic that we had to drive to Utah to see her when we live half an hour away! We had a good visit and I enjoyed the tour of the campus, thanks Devin for the scenic route! As we drove around I still had that yearning to be there. I really wanted to go to medical school there. I still have that desire within me and sometimes I think about what it would be like. However, in reality I don't think I could uproot the family and drag them down there for a residency program. ...maybe in my next life!! It was a beautiful campus though. We then had a long ride home. We had a really fun weekend it was very hot though. I wish we could have stayed longer. I love the city life. I especially love all the things to do. We could spend months down there and not see everything I would like to see!

All the grandkids!

The climbing contest!

Devin showed everyone how to "properly" go down the slide!

Two of my favorite people!

Ashley and Kaitlyn

Anna is so cute! Look at all that hair, I am so jealous!

Kami enjoyed herself.

We spent a day at the splash park. The water was so cold. Kaitlyn got in, got wet, and got out. Ashley had so much fun playing in the water. She did get dumped on once by the big bucket of water! Kami put her toes in and that was enough for her!

Ashley is finally riding her bike by herself! We bought her a new helmet and some pads. They made all the difference in the world. She put them on as soon as we got home and hasn't gotten off her bike since! She loves to ride!

Way to go Ashley!

I think we are finally enjoying summer, just in time for school to start!
