End of summer

As always, summer becomes a blur. We always have a lot going on. Most of which, I forget the camera, or forget to take pictures. Here are a few highlights of what we did have the camera for.

We love the rain and enjoy playing in it so I tried to get a picture of it. You can't really see from this picture, but she is soaked!



We got a chance to go to the "Days of 47" rodeo with Brad's family. Of course, our little cowgirl loved it! She thinks that she might want to do barrel racing when she is older.




Brad took a couple of days off so we could have some fun. The first day, we went to Lagoon. We were meeting my family up there, and we were a little early so we stopped by the courthouse to get a picture of Liz there.



When we got there, we were too busy having fun to take very many pictures, but here are a couple.




The next day we went to the Zoo.





We can't forget our favorite part of this summer, meeting Liz's new cousin!



Here is the end of our fun....The first day of second grade. Liz is really excited to be back to school, and she already loves her new teacher, so I know it will be a great year for her.

Another year has gone by...

First day of 1st grade

Last day of 1st grade


She hasn't changed too much in her looks, but it has been fun to see her growth. She still enjoys reading the same books that she did at this time last year, so I thought she was at the same reading level. I was surprised to find out that she had still improved! I am constantly amazed by this girl. I am so excited to have her home for the summer. We have a few things planned to hopefully keep her busy.

The last couple of weekends, we have been trying to do some fun things as a family. On Memorial Day, we went to the Museum of Ancient History at Thanksgiving Point.




This weekend we went to Kennecot Mine.




We will just have to see where else we explore this summer...
