Mike

ran the top of Utah half and did awesome.

Spent some awesome time at the park this summer!  My kids love the park and are the perfect age to go run and play.   We have almost been to every park in the valley.

Back to school

Back to school...

Rylie first day at 1st Grade

and at a new school.

 

She is growing up on me and I was not ready for the 1st day of 1st grade.  It seemed so far away six years ago, but then it came.  I tried to hold it together, but there was tears!!  She begged me to walk her in, I did it through the tears.  She says "mom, why are you crying?" and I could tell that I was making her nervous.  So I said "these are happy tears, I am just so excited with all the fun things you will do in 1st grade".  Gave her a love and was out.  she did great!!

She is kinda liking lunch, but loves recess and PE, Art, Music and learning a new language. 

 

This big guy is growing up too.

His 1st day at joyschool

He gets a little anxiety about leaving me, but has done well with his school

He loves learning, playing, friends and playing some more

august

Seriously, where does summer go.   Its such a crazy fun few months and yet so busy. 

Grandpa kept Bode while I ran an errand, I was only gone a minute and when I got back they were both sound asleep on the floor.  I can't ever get Bode to nap, pretty cute.  He loves his grandpa!!

 

Rylie at the SkyView tennis camp... 

I think we about hit all the parks from Logan north this Summer, including the splash pad. 

Kids love a chance to play in the water

 Mike did the epic relay again this year.  We followed him along the course and then took advantage of an opportunity to go to Jackson Hole. 

We stayed  in Alpine in a motel, the kids were a bit nervous at first then settled right in and thought it was pretty cool.  Swam in the pool. I mean bathtub

Yes, he is trying to push her off the bed.  

Saw Mike off on this last leg in Hoback and took off to JH square.  What a fun place to hang out and shop!  Kids are really becoming some pretty good adventurours

 at the finish line 2013 Mile High Runners. they were an hour faster than last year!

Way to go team!

Meyer Reunion 2013...

I love BEAR LAKE!  seriously I do, I look forward to spending a week at the Lake each July with my family.  I love hanging out on the beach and swimming in the water, I love boating and I love my family.  Its a pretty darn fun week.  Bear Lake holds a special place in my heart, it reminds me of a very special uncle, whom we miss so much.

  The lake brings me so much peace, comfort, fun, and time with family. 

Here's to the Meyer Reunion 2013

 

 

Getting to spend time with cousins, is the ultimate vacation!

and sure are the cheeseballs

 

Rylie is part fish, really!  She has not fear right now which is pretty darn impressive.  She tried waterskiing at Island Park.   She wake boarded and knee boarded at Bear Lake and loved every minute of it. We rode the tube together and it was hilarious.  She kept telling me how proud she was of me for doing it and for going with her (tubing not my thing, but for sure will do it for her). 

Dinner with my extended family each night, such a great time to catch up.  We love being together and carrying on the Bear Lake tradition.  Grandma made piñatas for the kids and they were a hit.

 

 Smith cousins!!

 Love the Lake, can't wait til next year!



summer

This summer flew by and boy did we play!  Not very often you don't have

responsibility and can play all summer long. 

Rylie and Grandma making cookies, this was a recipe from her coloring book

 and they turned out pretty darn good!!  

 

Bode got this hat from his Great Grandpa Kenton, I think he wears it well

and he is pretty proud of it.

 

Rylie dressed up as a cowgirl, in my boots and hat from high school. 

Good thing the cowgirl days are all but over. 

 

Bode wasn't going to be shown up by all the cowgirls

We celebrated at the Weston Days!  We did the parade, the carnival, the goat, chicken and bunny chase, the traditional Navajo taca dinner at the Kropfs, time with cousins, live band and fireworks.  Quite the celebration for a small town and we sure love it.



the chase...
