Catching Up...

It's been a busy summer!! My blogging has been scarce. Here are lots of pictures of what we've been up to in June and July. We've had a great summer so far...We hiked the "Y". Here's Ryan on the "Y".

Scott and Caleb on the "Y".

Ethan was a trooper. He hiked all the way up without complaining (I think that's a first). Ryan and Caleb had the exhausting job of being carried all the way up.Here's the muscle man that carried Ryan and Caleb up the mountain.

Little Ry Ry looking very innocent.

Ethan flexing his muscles--they are so big, I couldn't fit them into the picture.

Chad and Bren blessed their baby Olivia while they were out in Utah. Ireland couldn't get enough of baby Olivia. She is a sweet and easy baby! We wanted to kidnap her.Ireland and Savannah--two peas in a pod.

Scott, Ryan and Caleb (and Lance) in Durango, Colorado for our family vacation.

Family picture by the lake where we stayed just outside of Durango.

Handsome Ry Ry with two big mosquito bites that caused his head and eye to swell.

Ireland and Ethan

Ryan made friends with a little wood man in Purgatory. (Lauren in the back)

Ireland and Ethan on the bungy trampoline in Purgatory (this place reminded me of Park City--we went on an Alpine Slide there too)

The family in Mesa Verde checking out the Indian ruins. Lance and Steph got everyone matching shirts in the flattering color of bright mustard. There was about 35 of us wearing this shirt that day. When the Hackings went on trips long ago, they wore similar shirts so Doug and Janet could keep track of all of them. So we had to keep the tradition alive.

Ryan, Scott and Caleb at Ireland and Savannah's birthday party.

The cutie birthday girls and Ryan. They turned 9 a week apart.
