What a week!

Whew! We are exhausted! We had quite a week this past week. I don't feel like we have sat down since we got back from Bear Lake last week. Thank goodness for today, a day of rest. Here is our week in review starting with yesterday and moving backwards to Monday.

Liam hanging outside on the 4th of July!

Gavin learned to ride on two wheels! Goodbye training wheels.

Doesn't he look good?!

This is how we all felt yesterday after such a crazy week.

We went to the Clearfield parade on the 4th just to get our yearly parade in. We missed the Syracuse parade last weekend because we were at Bear Lake. The kids came home with way to much loot!

Nate's parents and youngest sister Ally were in town. Here is a picture playing mini-golf at the sparetime family fun center!

With Nate's parents in town we decided to bless Ashlyn. We were lucky to be able to do it in our home since Nate's parents wouldn't be here for a Sunday. It was a very simple and special occasion.

Ashlyn is wearing the dress that I was blessed in. It was made by my Aunt's mother. The Afghan she is laying on was made by my Grandma Hess who passed away almost 10 years ago. I am so grateful to have these special things to remind me of my great heritage.

Gotta love those smiles!

I can't believe she is already 3 months old!

The boys got to swim at Grandma and Grandpa Kohl's hotel.

Thanks Aunt Ally for swimming with them!

Last but not least, we said goodbye to Uncle Jordan (Nate's brother). He entered the MTC on Wednesday to serve a mission in Germany/Austria. We will miss him, but we are so grateful for the example he is setting for our boys.

We also managed to eat at Tucanos, play soccer in the backyard, have my family over for a BBQ and fireworks on Friday, and watch the Kaysville fireworks last night. It was a wonderful week. Now we take a week to recover and get ready to head to Bear Lake next week! :) I think the summer is going to be over before we know it!
