Summer fun

Random summer fun

I thought this was one of the less-active summers, but according to the number of pictures from my cell phone, we did a lot!

Abby's 12th Birthday. She got a nerf gun to "protect" herself from her brothers!

Playing twister at her birthday party with friends.

Augie got his tonsils removed on July 2. We had a quiet Fourth of July after that. 

eating ice cream!

A quick day trip to Rexburg

Hanging out at the green belt with snow cones.

Abby's first temple trip. We did baptisms in the Rexburg temple. 

I grew some beautiful flowers from bulbs this year. My vegetable garden, however, was a disaster.

Jim and Sam after helping at an Eagle project at the school. 

Jimmy's birthday--turned 17!

Pie for his birthday. Yum!

July 31st at Rigby Lake. Just Abby, Augie and I... Sam was at the lake but was with friends, and Jim didn't want to go. 

Reed's dairy ice cream!

The first week of August we went to Utah. We visited all my old favorite places, including Bridal Veil Falls and the BYU Creamery.

The family all met up at Lagoon for a few fun hours of thrill rides and etc. 

 I didn't take many pictures, but here is a funny video on a short roller coaster ride.

Augie took a tumbling class this summer and is continuing this fall. He is wearing the blue cape, practicing his superhero moves. 

We had a fierce hail storm with some of the largest hailstones I've seen in years. 

Goofy picture

Grammy's 66th birthday... but the picture is fuzzy.

Augie and his friend Tiernan enjoy snow cones at a cub scout expo.

Jim's new hair color... he insisted!

Abby's new hairstyle, a nice wavy perm, just a touch different from her straight hair below. 

Jimmy receiving his last merit badges before his Eagle is FINALLY complete!

He's so happy!
