Sweet Summer Time!

I love summer time with my whole heart!

Seriously me and Kris signed
up for Color Me Rad like months
and months in advance...
The anticipation was ridiculous!

Kellie, Andrew, Tim, Me, Kristen and Jase!

Waffle Love is the best thing that ever happened to me.
Next to the guy in this pic, of course ^^^^ :)

Spent Memorial weekend with my family up north,
and I totally surprised myself by running right to the cemetery
where my mom's side of the family is buried. It was a rainy,
beautiful morning and I'm pretty sure I felt a little part of
my grandpa there while I paused to think about him
and his posterity.

Tim and I were the pipe movers for the weekend and we
didn't mind one bit!

NEPHEW NUMBER 7!!!
Wait, what? 7 boys?
Are there any girls?
Nope, just 7 crazy boys!

Nixon Judd Hamilton
Born June 3, 2014
Love that tiny boy!
And I love those proud brothers a
whole lot too!

Kimball and Les invited us to their haven in Fish Lake for the weekend... Oh my gosh! Such a great place! The cabin (if you can call a log mansion a cabin) was gorgeous and had that homey feel that cabins should. It is set right on a stream of water that flows into the lake and it's the most gorgeous thing ever. We had so much fun relaxing, playing with Caleb, Tate and Heath, fishing, canoeing, grilling and playing games!

See the stream on the right?
Best thing ever.

Morning walk/run with my mom

Can you see Timmy?

Came back from my run and Tim
had this perfect little set up:
a camp chair at the top of the hill, book in hand,
shoes and socks off.
He said it was his favorite part of the trip!

Ydraw pool party/BBQ at Curtis and Tyra's!

Linz and Chad came swimming with us
when I was tending Dave.

Oh look, we captured the moment right
before Lindsay and I literally almost
drowned from laughing so hard our lungs
filled with water!

Two people on a mat is not safe.
Not. Safe.

My aunt Jo came home after spending 5 months in Afganistan, so we had a welcome home party for her, and got to spend the rest of the weekend in Bear Lake/Randolph! We saw the Jaunito Bandito show at Pickleville Playhouse, and slept over at Hil and Matt's! The play was the most hilarious thing I've ever seen! Oh my heck. The actors crack themselves up they are so downright goofy. Such a good time! Pickleville does it right!

3 crazy cowboys ready to see Jaunito Bandito!

Kolbs is such a crack up!

Kolbs loved this sheriff! He was so excited he got
to hold his gun and wear his hat!

Kelv and his onesie! Everyone getting tucked in for the night!

Do you spy a mustache?
Kolbs loved that thing so much, he slept in it!

Thanks for letting us stay over Hil!

My aunt LeAnn and her two boys came to visit! Seriously haven't seen them in 2 years, it was a blast to catch up with them! I got to stay in Coalville for about 10 days, just working from home and then playing with everyone in the afternoons! What a good setup!

Hil and I really cannot control ourselves when we ride
the Alpine Coaster! Why is it so funny?!

It was so nice to have LeAnn and boys here for a week! We went to a concert in the park, toured Temple Square and the conference center, had Sunday dinner at my parent's house, played at the water park, did the Alpine Slide/Coaster, at Tucanos and Crown Burger, and had such a blast catching up!

We had a family reunion at Beaver Mountain that I don't have pictures of, but it was beautiful up there! So fun to see all my Carpenter side of the family! Plus, on the way up there I got to stop and see Bubba and Kolbs play soccer, hold Nixon boy, and tour their house-in-progress! Then, I stopped to see Hil at her beach shop job and we both loaded up on lots of fun clothes! We grabbed raspberry shakes and headed on our way to the reunion. I love that my family loves to spend time together, and keeps traditions of reunions!
