Jeremy's 1st Half Marathon

Jeremy set a goal, and achieved it!!!

His 1st ever 1/2 marathon!

He rocked it!




They even had fun stuff for the kids too!


Black Mail

Once upon a time Hadley and her friends had a Tea Party.  Cambridge insisted he needed the Elsa dress... so all dressed up he said "Let it Go!" over and over...
I tried to get it on video, but he was being to goofy then!!!  Oh the black mail this shall be...

Happy Fathers Day!


I am so lucky to have the best daddy in all the world!!!

I embarrassed Jeremy and he was put on a Fathers Day Commercial on KSL...

Unexpected Bear Lake Trip

The plan was to go camping up AF Canyon, but when Jenn and Josh called and asked if we want to go up to the Bear Lake Cabin... we decided YES!
We stopped at Maddox for dinner!  Its a family thing...

Stopped at the look out point... so beautiful!

Then finally arrived at the cabin!  The kids had a blast playing the fun games, and then we went to bed!

The next day we headed up St. Charles campground.  We hiked to the head of the creek!  So beautiful and green!!!

Then we took a tour of Minnetonka Cave!  I have been there more times then I can count, but Boston hadn't been since he was a baby, and Hadley and Cambridge had never been!  So it was super fun sharing the cave with them!

It is such an AMAZING and fun cave!  So fun to explore!

Then we had lunch at a little park

and visited the old Paris Tabernacle!!

Played at a fun fun park that still had one of those old school merry-go-rounds!  So fun!

Then we headed up to one of my favorite places.  Bloomington Lake.  It is a glacier fed lake that is breath takingly beautiful.

We took our raft, with all 5 of us aboard, and went around the whole lake!  We saw cliff divers, rope swingers, and a CRAZY guy on a snowboard going down the glacier into the lake!!  

I could have stayed there all day.

Super fun family adventure!

That night Jenn and Josh came up to the cabin!  It was so fun to spend time with them and their adorable boys!

Everyone wanted to get some Oliver love!

Hudson and Cambridge had a blast on the Jump A Round, and just running around together!!!

The next day we took the Side by side out for a ride!  Fun!

We also headed ot the lake.  Sadly the wind was blowing and it was quite cold.  But we still had lots of fun!

Hadley made a lovely mud pool...

Always fun in the sand!

Thanks Jenn and Josh for inviting us!!!

The cabin is a magical place to stay!

Strawberry Days!

We LOVE our cities Strawberry Days!  So much fun!
We participated in the Children's Bike Parade!

The day of the rodeo, the kids were so excited that they "played" rodeo for hours!


Finally it was time to go!






Always so much fun!!!  We love the rodeo!

Pock-it in Concert

We went to a super fun music stroll in the sugarhouse area.  You would walk down the street and every few houses would be a musician playing their tunes.  Super cool.  Jeremy's brother was one of the acts!  Here is a little peak...

Jeremy is FINISHED with his EMPA!!!!

He did it. He really did it. Jeremy is officially done with BYU's Executive Masters of Public Administration program. 3 years of classes every Wednesday night. 3 years of group work, homework, papers, presentations, blood, sweat, and tears. (The tears were mine!) It was anything but easy for Jeremy to balance a demanding full time+ job, a crazy wife and 3 kids, 2 moves, busy church callings, and a Masters Program, but he did so with flying colors. We were able to celebrate with his cohort at a Graduation Banquet at the JSMB last night, the official Graduation ceremony won't be until August. Congratulations Jeremy!!! You are AMAZING!!!
 

 Pat and Frank!  Jeremy's Carpool Buddies and forever friends.

Jeremy, Frank, Steve, and Aaron hanging out in class!

Jeremy and Pat!


The kiddos made the cutest cards to help Jeremy celebrate his special day!!
