Summertime!!!!

What have you been up to this summer??  We have been creating memories!!!!  What a great summer it's been so far!  We have worked in the garden, taken care of animals (all sorts and sizes), spent a ton of time outside enjoying the amazing weather, eaten way too many popsicles and watermelons, stayed up late (it's light until after 10pm), hung out with friends and family, had picnic lunch at the park almost every day, gone to the movies, gone bowling, done way too many art projects and basically just enjoyed the lack of schedules!

This week, Levi is at basketball camp at BYU in Utah.  Papa and Grandma drove him down and in return they brought home cousins to play with for the week!! They are having so much fun!!! 

Sunday, Sabrina and I will head out on her Senior trip!  We originally planned to go to Hawaii but that really didn't fit Sabrina's personality.  She was looking for a little more adventure.  We checked a few dude ranches but those things are spendy!!!!!!  We settled on going to Vegas, where we will spend a day going exteme ATV-ing, another day riding horses, a day walking the strip ( ya gotta do that once in your life!)  :)  And hopefully a little bit of time laying by the pool! 

When we get back, Scott will take the 14-18 year old young men from church on a Boy Scout High Adventure trip!  They are heading to Oregon to go rafting down the Deschutes!  There will be about 20 of them going and they are soooo excited!!

School starts back up the middle of August, but we still have plenty of time for more memory making before then.  At the end of August, Sabrina will leave to teach English in the Ukraine!  She has all her paperwork in, money has been paid, interviews are done, she's just waiting to go!  She will be there for 4 months, teaching children English through song, dance, art, sports, etc.!!!  What an amazing opportunity for her!  She will get back right before Christmas!  She is beyond excited, it's all she can do to watch the days tick by.  To keep her busy, she has been doing an "ABC Camp" for the youngest 4 kiddos!  They love it and it gives her something to do. 

Ok, I'm going to post a bunch of pics that show a little of what we have been up to this summer!!
 Done a lot of replanting flowers!  Thank you Copper!

Summertime Sisters!!!!!

Just realized there are hardly any pics of the boys.....that's because after getting all their chores done in the mornings, they head over to the Rec center where they swim and play basketball all afternoon!!!! 

Hope your summer is fabulous so far!!!!
