More Summer Activities

There is nothing better than waking up on a beautiful summer morning and going to the temple with some of your children and their spouses.  We love to do that when we get several of them together.  Kyle had meetings at work, but we had Kevin and Angie, Kent and Natalie, and John and Alison with us at the Mt. Timpanogos Temple on Friday morning.  It was so special!

Afterwards, we went back and got the kids and went to lunch at our favorite place to go with the kids--Chuck-a-Rama!

Later, we went to Kade's football practice.  Here it was the first part of August, and I finally had to go get in the car--I was freezing!  I am getting to be such a wimp!  Kevin is one of the coaches for Kade's team. 

Another thing we got to do on this trip was meet Carter, Jenna, and Brady's new puppy--Harley.  He is darling!  The kids really do love him--and I don't know what he would do without Kim.  She really watches over him!

Kent and Natalie didn't get to stay in Utah long, but while they were there, Ethan wanted to show me his new basketball skills.  Kent is his coach and they practice or have games several nights a week.  Ethan absolutely loves it!  Here he just used the indoor basketball net, but I definitely got the idea. 

After we got the kids calmed down for the evening, we all went to a movie together, including Kyle and Kim.  So we had a great day!

The next day, Saturday, Kent and Natalie had to go back to Washington, so we had to say "Good-bye."  We only got to see them for a couple of days, but it was so great.  Here they are loading up--Ella is already in the car and didn't want her picture taken.  Surprise! 

George, also, had to go back to Florida to work, but I stayed because I got to tend Kevin and Angie's five kids for a week while they went to Hawaii.  It was a crazy, fun-filled week which I will blog about on my next posting, but for now, here are the pictures of the girls saying "Good-bye" to their dad and mom.

See you in a week, Kevin and Angie!
