Here are some photos of a few things we've been up to the past month or so!
Over Memorial Day weekend we went on a last minute trip with some of our best friends - Caroline & Aaron. Aaron's grandparents have a condo in St. George that nobody was using. So we packed up and had a fun weekend getaway! Caroline and I did a 9-mile run early Saturday morning that was beautiful (and hot...). Then we went thrift shopping while the boys played golf. Later that day we went swimming, had a BBQ, and went to Nielsen's frozen custard. We ended the night with tennis and board games. On Sunday we went to church and lunch with Aaron's other set of grandparents. Then we walked around the St. George temple and made dinner together that evening. On Monday we swam and hung out a little more before heading back home. It really was the perfect getaway! We love Aaron and Caroline and just love their company. Scott kept asking to go back to "the new house" for a whole week after the trip.
In early June, I ran the Utah Valley Half Marathon again! Caroline and I did it together this year. I really do love that race. It is big with lots of people and water stations everywhere. The best part is the whole course is downhill! You can't beat that.
Scott was all about the post-race creamies...
This summer we've been doing a lot of scooter rides and going to 7 peaks water park! Scott has gotten so good at riding his scooter. He definitely has had a few falls (and a few bumps to show for it) but he loves it!

One great thing about being in Utah is getting to see everyone who comes in town! Ryan and Kaylee were here visiting family and we met up with them during the week. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures with them! We also had a lot of fun with Broc and Joanna and their cute boys who came in town. Broc is Nate's oldest friend from growing up and we always love seeing them. Joanna and I got to do a few activities with the kids during the day. Scott loved having so many playmates!
We also got to see Brett and Sydnie while they were in town! Phil also lives in Salt Lake now so the group of us (all Nate's college friends) met up for dinner and to let the kids play at the splash pad in Riverwoods.
This year for Nate's birthday we celebrated with all our family/friends that live here and everyone who was in town. The menu consisted of Texas Sheet Cake (GF of course!), Hot Buffalo Chicken Blue Cheese Dip, and Fruit Salsa.

It's been a great summer so far and we have more fun things in store! We are so lucky to live by so many of our favorite people!
