Taking Walks and Hikes to prepare for Trek:

We've been taking 2 hour hikes and walks every week to prepare for Trek

This hike past Battle Creek falls was beautiful

Taking a break on our walk to highland glen pond, another pretty walk

Celebrating Weston's 14th birthday, he was on High Adventure camp on his actual birthday so we had his birthday breakfast and gifts two days early, then took him to dinner with Sushi and Incredibles 2 when he came back.

Uncle Jesse sent this for Weston for his birthday

Weston turned 14 on the 14th, happy birthday to him!

he wanted crepes for breakfast

he got sunday shoes

Watching Incredibles 2

 Jared and Weston went to high adventure and the girls went to girls camp the same week, I 
was glad when they all came back safe and sound. Lots of tender mercies from the Lord happened this month to get us through the stress and busy, this was one of them for me:

My sister Heidi saved my life and brought me dinner one day!

Turkey potatoes salad it was the best

I was smiling the rest of the day, thanks Heidi!

 Celebrating Father's day. Got to have Jared all to myself this sunday.

 Happy father's day to Jared. Love you. We saw my dad on Father's day at Justin's too.

 Summer fun:

Fiora and her cousin Lucy both got season passes to Lagoon and drive the front runner to get up there

Jared and Weston ran into the carpenters at the Lindon pool

Fiora works as a cashier there and is doing a great job

After 5 attempts at taking the drivers test fiora finally passed and got her learners permit

 Other news: Savanna's knees are recovering, she saw an orthopedic surgeon who said her knee caps sit too high so she needs extra strong quads to keep them in place, and she is exercising them with swimming and biking and walking.  Fiora really enjoyed girls camp this year at Bear lake for which I was grateful. Savanna had sore knees for EFY and girls camp and had a rough time. Savanna is working at a nanny job and helping Jared at his Real Estate office, Weston is coaching level four boys at gymnastics, and Fiora is working as a cashier so all three kids have paying jobs this summer. Jared has been incredibly busy with his calling and covering for employees going out of town in June so he has had a lot of stress to manage. I have been busy with two therapy jobs and running the farm here, and I taught 4 classes in June to educators and counselors in the Alpine school district. It has been warm and sunny and green and we have loved taking walks outside more often, seeing lots of family due to reunions and birthdays and father's day. Jared and I enjoyed kayaking the provo river.
