Summer Fun Recap


 This summer has been fun and event filled:)  The pictures are random so sorry but still show some of the exciting things that took place. First with some fun facts... Nick was transferred to the North Logan store and he's on days. We're extatic about that!!! We're expecting another baby girl in the first part of January!! Reece is happy but she did state that she'll only share her toys, not her clothes or shoes:) And it's a baby girl we're having, not a sister. When we asked what she wanted, a boy or a girl, she told us a duck:) So that's the joke lately.

We were fortunately enough to get work off and drive to California. Dan and Carly we're going so we decided to horn in on the fun. We stopped in St George on the way down then drove to Vegas for a night as well. It was great. Then off to John's place to play and visit. Thanks again to everyone for their hook-ups and hospitality:) We hit up the beach a few times which was much enjoyed and even made it to Disneyland for a day (Because for those of you who aren't aware Reece is a bit of a Mickey Mouse fanatic) Then we drove down to Nick's old mission grounds of San Diego and enjoyed a few nights there and then it was back home to reality.
 Nick, John and Dan were able to body surf on some waves!!

 Reece was a little timid of the ocean temperature at first but then quickly changed her mind. She liked how the waves sucked her back in:)

 Reece enjoyed playing in the sand with her cousins!!




 
 Taking a quick siesta with dad in the sunshine.



     The sweet kids walking hand in hand on the pier




 Petting a star fish. She was a little reserved at first but after the boys did she decided one finger would be ok
 Sitting on the tram on our way to the gates of Disneyland.  IF we go again it will definately be during a cooler time of year- Let's just say it got a little hot for the pregnancy ladies and the kiddies

Getting ready for a day of fun!!
Back: Danny, Carly, me, Reece, Nick, Kristen, WIlliam and John
Front: Nate and Tyler.    
 We were able to spot Donald Duck. We had to hurry and track him down for a photo op.
 

Reece wouldn't look at the camera, she was too excited to be so up close and personal
 Just taking a ride in Mickey car




 Taking a look in Minnie's Fridge to see what she had to offer
 Once again, a little distracted by Mickey Mouse and his close vicinity.
 She loved Minnie the most I do believe! She kept talking to her

 Then tried to go back and talk to her again (hence the pulling on her dress)

 A shot outside out hotel in San Diego. Dan was able to get online and find us a steal of a deal on a very fancy resort

Enjoying the pool outside our room


This summer also entailed some very enjoyable boating/tubing trips to Bear Lake and near by areas. Lynn and Nana bought this amazing tube but that ALL the kids seemed to enjoy


 Bear Lake was a little cool but we wouldn't let that stop us for some fun.

On a not so exciting note, Reece fell while running down the sidewalk at Nana's a broke her arm. Luckily she's a trooper and heals quickly and only had to have it splinted for a week. She was a little embarrassed of it at times so this was the only shot I was able to get

 




She's ready for the rodeo:) We went to the Cache County Fair! Sadly no the rodeo but she enjoyed the animals and the few rides we were able to get in


More boating fun. This time was a little warmer.



She enjoyed some fun times with 'Bryant" :)


She liked walking around listening to music:)
Getting ready to drive us to Grandpa and Grandma Roskelley's for a 4th of July cookout

Making sure she had gas in her engine:)


Yes, We stupidly did the Ragnar Relay again. It was fun just not quite what we expected once it actually arrived. We ended up with 2 pregnant ladies and one who was sick but we finished :)
This year was the "Year of the Mustaches". We borrowed Nick's parent's excursion and dressed it up-Good times For those of you who aren't aware of Ragnar I'll inform you a little. It consists of a team of 12 runners, 6 in each van. Ours was myself, Nick, Danny, Carly, James and Morgan (my two brother's and their wives) It starts at the USU track and ends in Park City. Each runner takes turns and runs a total of 3 different times.- Except in our van's case where certain members of our team had to pick up where other's were unable to. We won't mention any names ;)

This was ONE of Nick's night runs.-He may have took one of mine 
Nick getting ready for his first run/climb!!

Here's Morgan getting 1 of 2 bags of IV fluid.  James with his mustache trying to comfort her

This was during James and Nick's exchange.
Danny during his first run passing one of many
Dan again running, Making his sprint into the exchange to hand off to Morgan
Morgan running her first and only :( But she was feeling great and did amazing

"Ya look good, ya feel good, Ya feel good, ya play good"


The Haynes also were able to come and visit this summer and Reece is still talking about it.
 They enjoyed feeding the ducks at 1st dam.
 
They enjoyed riding powerwheels at Nana's

We were all able to make it to Bear Lake. Always a joy

This was the previous tube. The men may have popped it a few times but it sure was enjoyed while it lasted
