Where has the summer gone?

I realize that I have totally been a blog slacker. This summer has totally flown by. It might be the fact that there were more stormy days so it feels like summer only came for a few weeks and you better believe that if it was nice and warm we wanted to be out playing.

We'll start at the beginning...My oldest niece Shalece graduated from High School. It seems crazy that she is old enough to go off to college. I made her a candy bar bouquet for graduation, which took me longer than anticipated. Lucky for me she is not going too far away so I will still get to see her around. We love you Lece!










My husband loves me and took me to the Paramore concert...ok so it really was No Doubt with Paramore, but lets be honest I went for Paramore...although I do enjoy No doubt. Anyway it was so much FUN. I loved every minute of it. Thanks Honey!




The last few years Mike and have been going to the parade of homes. We like to be wishful thinkers. It is fun to look at all the homes and start our wish list. Hopefully someday some of the things will be a reality...but until then we will just enjoy looking at other peoples amazing homes.

4th of July we went with Blake and Jami up to their condo up ogden canyon. We came up with this brilliant idea to have her dad bring up the boat so we could watch fire works on the lake. He agreed so we played on the lake until dark. My knee boarding skills are improving. It was so fun to watch the fireworks on a boat.

Mike and I were in charge of Youth Conference for our Ward. I hope the kids had fun, because I did. We went down to Snow College. Did some water games, a fireside, and a rope course. At the rope course we did the faith fall. That was crazy. I am a pretty daring person..but I have to say that freaked me out a little bit. Needless to say I still did it. The other events at the rope course were not as scary but I have decided I need longer arms.
That cover up until mid July. I will have to do a new post for the rest of July...otherwise this will be a novel! Stay Tuned...

I have missed reading your blog! I've also been so bad at getting back to you. I tried to e-mail you a PDF of fonts way back when you wanted it -- but it kept coming back to me. I must have your e-mail wrong. If you still want the list e-mail me at jessica.demill(at)gmail(dot)com

Yeah for a new update! You guys have been way busy having lots of fun. I agree that this summer seems to have been cut short. I don't know if it is because of the baby or the weather like you said.

Thanks for the babysitting offer (or persuasion from my husband). I will let you know - we might just take you up on that offer ;)

Looks like you've had fun. I can't believe what a big youth group you had for youth conference. Our ward is so small. Hey, the summer isn't quite over yet. You still have time for a trip to Vernal. We're having a birthday party for Sadie on Saturday. I think it will be at the lake (if it's not too cold). You know you're invited at our place anytime.

What a fun summer! I totally went to Snow for YC one year when I was a youth, it was a blast!
