Sick kids make me sad...luckily, these pictures were taken across a 4 month period so we really don't get sick too often. We're so grateful for healthy bodies!

After Emily got home from Virginia, we only had a few days to play before school started. We took advantage of swimming in her swimming pool one afternoon. Then we dropped her back at her apartment and decided to go get a slush from Sonic...after all, it was Happy Hour! YUM!
Jeff + Emily + Miley = Jemiley
Jemiley spent a couple of months in Virginia for Jeff to complete another summer internship in his dad's law office. Our toddlers missed each other and we were very grateful for our iPhones and the ability to video-chat with them often. They returned late on August 15 and Spencer and I picked them up from the airport. How excited we were to see them!

It's funny to me that my kids insisted that "play with friends" be on our Summer Bucket List because they get to play with friends ALL THE TIME. But, whatever. I chose to take pictures of a couple of times we went to the park with our friends, the Fleck Family. The Fleck's moved to our neighborhood over the summer and have two boys, ages 9 and 10. Cameron & Zach have become best of friends. Gavin & Josh want to play every single day. Zach and Josh both play football so one evening we went to the park and invited them to meet us. Cameron had it in his mind that he wanted to be the team kicker and so Spencer was showing him how to kick the football...
Cameron went to Wheeler Farm with his scout troop and really wanted his brothers to see it too. Wheeler Farm is a dairy farm that you can tour for FREE. There are all kinds of farm animals, antique farm equiment, and demonstrations to see and when you live in the city...it's kind of a big deal. They even have an old-fashioned candy store!
We met our good friends, the Paugh family, for a picnic and to spend a little time with Cameron as our tour guide. The tour was complete only after a photo shoot and a stop at the candy store for Lemonheads, Sucker Sticks, and Popsicles!
Spencer & I celebrated our 12th anniversary by going to the Draper Temple for a ward temple trip. I can think of no better place to be on your anniversary.
Owen (5 years old) woke up this morning (Friday) , got himself in the bathtub, got dressed and came downstairs for breakfast. Spencer had taken a few days off and since he didn't have to work yesterday or today, it threw Owen off his schedule. Poor kid was completely dressed & ready for church, thinking today was Sunday!
He was super glad when Sunday finally rolled around a couple days later!
