Labor Day Weekend 2014

When spent the long Labor Day weekend up at Bear Lake, but first I have to add in a couple pictures taken around the same time.  Ashlyn needed a picture of 'Spike' for a school project, so I thought I would include one in this post for memory sake.  We have had Spike for 4 years.  He is a great pet and we (excluding Nate) love him!!  

The next pic is of Liam's sunflower he grew this summer.  Nate ordered some seeds online and they sent us sunflower seeds as a bonus.  We planted a few of them around the yard, but Liam ended up with the biggest sunflower of all.  It is beautiful!

Now on to Bear Lake.  With the passing of my Grandpa we know that the years are limited with our Bear Lake trips to the family cabin.  We know we have a few more years to have this awesome place, but it made me think more about taking pictures for memories of our times at the lake.  We spent a nice long (let the kids skip school Friday) weekend at Bear Lake for Labor Day.  The weather was really nice the first day, but then cooled off for the rest of the weekend.  We still had a great time with family playing games, fishing, playing at the beach, and just relaxing.  Can't wait until next summer!!

The rope swing is a favorite!!

So is the hammock!

Beautiful Bear Lake!!

Rewind to August

With all the excitement of school starting, I forgot to post a couple other happenings in August. I only realize I forget things when I get my camera pics uploaded to the computer.  :)  

Near the first of August we were able to attend the Ogden Temple Open House.  It was awesome!  The temple was beautiful.  It was so great to have the opportunity to take our kids there and let them see the inside of such a special and sacred place.  

We also had our annual trip to a Bee's baseball game with my family.  Sadly, Nate was out of town and missed out.  It was a perfect night for a game and the Bee's won which made it even better.  So grateful for these fun memories we make with family!
