August 2018

Trail running and swimming in Pineview with the team.


 Helped my sister out by taking her kids to an RSL skills camp.

So this stinker... got out of the backyard and took herself on a grand adventure while I was watching the Clegg kids. I come home to see that the trash can was moved so I watched the security footage and saw her getting out and then later being put back by some super awesome people. I also checked the city pages and saw posts about her running around a mile away. I lost it. I completely broke down and ugly cried while forcing love on her. I can't believe she got out but even more grateful that some strangers were kind enough to keep our family together. 

 That area is about a mile away..

Meet Fanny, Austin's new bomb dog.

 First Friday art stroll with Rovali's cookies and melon lemonade.





An evening in Bear Lake to help the Clegg's take family photos. JeNae had asked me a while ago (probably the previous year who knows but I had forgotten until a few months before the event) to come up and help so I took advantage of the situation to get some hiking and geocaching in.
Hiking in Logan Canyon.




I was at a complete stop when I took this photo. The four people in their late teens/early 20's were standing off to the side and seemed ok as in they were standing around giggling and were on their phones sooo...
Emergency personal were on their way. 
Bear Lake area.
After family photos we went into town for ice cram shakes.
Paul's kiddos. So goofy.


Derek and Ragnar went on High Adventure with the young men.


 Ready for Ragnar Relay #3!

IT'S CROSS COUNTRY SEASON!!!!!
 We've been teasing Morgan for years that when Chasity was a senior he was going to be our team mom.. 
Well she made him this shirt so he's legit now.
 Ok let's talk about hydration and that when you know you're going to be racing in the afternoon, in the hottest of heat, you should be well hydrated and have been running in the heat for at least two weeks before racing hard in it... 
I counted at least 9 kids being carted away in ambulances from collapsing on the course.
 Since we didn't have a bus, we had parents drive kids down. So Karen and I were able to stop for a treat before heading back.
 Really tasty! A little overpriced for cookie dough but now I can say I've been there.


Sleepover at my mom's to babysit Taz.


Raptors baseball.

School started up again and Ragnar does not do well. She thinks I go off running without her.. which on most days is true when I run with the team.

Sonja's 11th birthday date. She picked wisely...
 Dinner: McD's
Date: Ice Skating
Bonus: hockey game and hot coco.
Dessert: Sonic slushees


 Sonja embracing her Canadian side.

These weirdos. 
 Elise and Madi were all about rubbing my legs and feet.. I was just reading and they came over with lotion and started doing it and I wasn't going to stop them.
 Madi wanted to learn how to do indexing.

Lady (and Mateo) dinner night at Twigs with Baked Bear for dessert.

 Bonus cart ride! Probably cuz they saw there was a baby and two pregnant ladies (not an announcement).

 MORE CROSS COUNTRY!!!!
Weber state invite.

Dad came home for a couple of days before he went back for last of the training's. 
Then he'll be home for a week before he goes for real and won't be home for a year.

Babysitting Grandma


When my dad decided to take the deployment to Afghanistan and Austin taking that embassy k9 position, it left my mom all alone at her house. Sure she's handled  my dad being gone before numerous times but she had us kids at home to keep her busy. So I recruited the little's to help me "babysit grandma". Elise taking this new job very seriously.. like VERY SERIOUSLY. Ask JeNae. 

So one night we had a sleepover. Derek and Jaxson had just gotten back from backpacking and picked up pizza for us. We watched movies, painted rocks, and built a fort in the tv room.



Elise's pickle. 
Grandma's m&m and eclair. 
Elise painted a purple rock with the poop emoji for her mom. 

My shark eating the eclair. 
Madi's shark. It was shark week so we watched some shark shows and painted sharks. 

The next day, Derek took the boys over to our house to play minecraft and us girls took grandma treasure hunting for the first time. It was an excuse to go to Heber and get shakes at the Dairy Keen! We took our rocks to put in the caches we found. 

Careful.. the goats were sick. 
But lots of marmots. 


And a free ride! The worker didn't care that we weren't staying there. 
He was just super nice to let two little girls enjoy a spin. 
Lunch time!!

Ragnar turned 7!


Breakfast with Sarah!

Peace out BBQ with family. We laughed over this photo cuz it looks like Austin has cleavage. 

Family temple day before dad leaves.



Went to see Dave in Joseph's Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. 




Elise being a weirdo. 

Austin and Dad left for training before deployments. 

Hiking!


Derek took Jaxson on an overnighter for his birthday. 
Ragnar was the most excited as you can tell. 
There was a porcupine encounter.. she's ok.
Got a lot of stuff cleaned out of the yard.. a lot of stuff left by the previous owners that we finally had a trailer to haul it away. We also got rid of a lot of the junk from updating the house. Enjoy this photo of Derek killing wasps.
