Bike riding

Bryan took the training wheels off Matt's bike. He has practiced 2 times with Bryan. He is getting pretty good.

Thanksgiving Point with friends...

The week after we got back from Bear Lake we met up with my friend Susan and her family. They live in Centerville and we only see them once or twice a year. Susan and I have known each other since we were 2 years old. Our kids are all the same age which makes it fun!

Lindsey and Camryn

Lindsey and her cousin Camryn. Camryn is 8 weeks younger than Lindsey and lives in Draper. She is my sister Christa's daughter.

What we came home to...

Lindsey's room

Katie (the girl that helps me decorate) came over on Saturday before we left and I showed her everything that I wanted done. All we had done with Lindsey's room is painted and put up the moulding, so I wanted to have that done. Also, Bryan and I finally got new furniture in our bedroom after 12 years of being married. I had found some pillows that I liked and she worked with that. We gave her our key and came home to two beautiful rooms and bathroom! Katie is so good at what she does. I LOVE everything she does. She totally worked with our "Target budget" and did a wonderful job.

Here are pics from our room. We aren't totally done. We need to paint the walls and do the finishing touches.

Our place on the lake

Since the bears have come out the last few years we haven't done our annual family camp. Last year we went to the beach in California, this year we went to Bear Lake. We had tons of fun! We got there on Monday afternoon and came home Saturday. We stayed an extra day along with Bryan's sisters family.

4th of July!

Lindsey's first 4th of July!

We had a great 4th of July. Bryan's family came over for ribs that we BBQed. They were so yummy. Then we headed over to see the fireworks by Thanksgiving Point. We go to a grass area that is next to a church, lay out our blankets and we have a great view! Lindsey did great and loved looking at the fireworks.
