Holdaway Reunion
August always starts with the Holdaway reunion.
It is such a joy to spend time with my Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins.
Just a few of the marvelous people I was lucky to grow up with!
Family Outings
Sometimes you just need to get out of the house.
We spent the day at the lake in Daybreak.
Summer Fun
Grandpa Kunz sent the balloon launcher to our house
so we called the neighbors and put it to good use!
Sandy Balloon Fest
One of my favorite things since I was a kid is balloon launches.
We are lucky to have a balloon launch close to home.
The American flag balloon went up and was starting to come down
as we were headed home so we decided to follow it and watch it land.
Graduation
Cort graduated from UPSTART and Preschool this year,
but the only one who held a graduation ceremony was UPSTART.
Family Scouting
Carl earned money washing cars so that he could buy the materials
to make marble runs for special needs kids. It was fun to go down and help him.
Butterflies
Another summer favorite is to go to the Conservation Gardens and enjoy the butterfly release.
It was amazing to watch the butterflies just land right on people.
Back to School
My boys starting school is always bittersweet.
I know that school is good for them and I welcome the structure,
but I miss our adventures together!
Amelia's Visit
It was fun to finally meet Tim right after he proposed to Amelia on Temple Square.
Welcome to this crazy family Tim.
Go Utes!
When your neighbors leave town and come back converted to your team...
...you find out if they are good sports or not...
...they were!
Our Life
We were able to fit in swimming lessons in this busy summer which I was grateful for.
Uncle Brian was called to the bishopric so mom and dad came to be with them and announced that Dad would soon no longer be the Branch President of the Cuba branch.
Life with Marshal is always full of fun and surprises.
Kent and I made some yummy kabobs but Braxton choose to eat cereal instead.
One day he'll look at this and realize he was crazy.
Although we didn't get a lot of pictures we were able to attend
the Gibson reunion and meet a lot of extended family.
Everyone gives plates of cookies to their kids...
Right?!?
This is the face he has when he gets caught being naughty.
Little turkey!
