Moroni has landed

Angel Moroni has now made his appearance on the Ogden Temple.

Camping

We just got a new tent, which means we must get out and put some mileage on it!  Maya didn't sleep until around midnight, she outlasted all the rest of us.  She just talked and sang to nobody in particular, just happy to be included and have the stage.
We put her into the middle between us in her own bag. It smelled strongly of urine this morning, good thing she had a diaper on.

Dirt in your teeth

Did some mountain biking this morning on the trails around Snow Basin ski resort. No snow, just lots of green and open trails during the summer.

I took a spill in some lose dirt on a sharp turn, can't get it out of my mouth... Crunchy.

Summer Rain

Extremely hot weather broke up for an evening and the girls and friends took advantage of it.

FHE With the Bons

Anna and Vincent Bons came to Utah for a family reunion and they were able to come to Ogden and spend a few hours here with us for Family Night. Brianna did "The Animal." We had a fun time catching up.

4th of July

The girls decorated their bikes themselves so they could ride in the Childrens parade. This has become tradition. Then we collect candy from the floats.

Race day.

The Timpanogas Gran Fondo bike race. 42 miles, 4500 ft climb around the Alpine Loop on Mt Timpanogas. Forgot my sunglasses, and ate some bugs coming down.

Bronze Medalist

Laurens team played 5 soccer matches in 4 days. She is one of the youngest on the team but she does well. Their team took the Bronze Medal in their division at the Utah Summer Games.

2nd Match and a win

Laurens team won their 2nd match 4-0. Lauren played very well, she was confident on the field, speedy down the sideline and supportive of her teammates. Fun match.

At the Park

After Laurens first match, we had dinner at a local park and had a team rally. Next match is tomorrow morning.

Utah Summer Games

Laurens team takes the field for their first match of the tournament. They lost 2,0. Lauren plays right wing position because she is super fast.

Activity Day with Lauren

Went on a date with Lauren for Activity Days, went to This Is The Place monument in Salt Lake City. Visited a Navajo Indian display. Panned for gold. Visited a blacksmith shop. Had fun.

Dinner on a hot afternoon

Not feeling like cooking indoors and heating up the house, we tested or grilling ability on focaccia bread. Turned out excellent. Also cooked the corn on the side burner of the grill.

Trip to Tennessee

Family reunion with my brothers, my sister, and their families. My mom & dad also made the trip.

Lauren plays on a competitive age group soccer team called Enyo. Ahhhhh, the beautiful game!
