We went down to my grandpa's cabin over the 4th for my dad's family reunion. The kids wanted to help with my grandpa's project of building the garage door. We always have to much fun when we go to the cabin.

This is out of order, but the story is below. This is right after Porter fell in.

We went to this little reservoir in Koosharem. Lance and I took the kids on my grandpa's paddle boat. Porter said he was trying to "move the water so he could see the fish" when he leaned too far forward and fell in the water. He had a lifejacket on, but was face first and wasn't turning over so Lance jumped in and got him back in the paddleboat. We had to strip him down to his underwear so his clothes could dry (hence) he is wrapped up in a blanket in this picture. This my dad on the left my his dad (my grandpa) on the right.

Kadi eating dirt. I guess she was in need of some protein.

Conner caught his first 2 fish. My cousin Don cooked them on the bbq later. Brayden loved it. He kept going back for more and more.

My cousins Dana and Jolene and I decided to run in a local 5k race on the 4th of July. It was a lot of fun. I beat my best 5k time by 45 seconds. I finished the race in 27 min 11 sec.

Conner and his friend Ethan built this go cart all by themselves. The wheels need a little help, but the concept was great.

I wanted to run in the city race that I 1st ran in last year as an anniversary race for my running. The added a kids K race this year and I signed all the boys up to run it. The boy above Conner is Lance's cousin's son, Noah. (Their family ran in it too.) We didn't get any pictures of Conner running the race, but the rest of the family is below.

I ran my 2nd half-marathon around Bear Lake on June 13th. With so many people running the race my dad has a hard time seeing me start the race. I called out to him and he caught me giving this huge smile.

Lance was reading the newspaper and Kadi wanted to get up on his lap. She grabbed this newspaper and started reading it all by herself.
