Family Exercise

I decided that I wanted my children getting some form of exercise every day this summer, so if they end up in front of the tv for too many hours I won't feel so bad. And, if we decide to do some hiking this summer, then we will be in shape for it. So...we run 1 mile on Mon, Wed, Fri and we ride 3.5 miles on Tue, Thur. We only missed one day this week because of the rain. We're having a lot of fun (not even one tear), but we do hope to have our dad join us this week!

Peas, Peas and More Peas

My shelling crew! They all volunteered to do this. I'll take it while I can get it. :-) This shot was actually from a smaller picking that I had on Monday.

I picked these 2 buckets of peas on Friday while we had a little break from the rain. I'm hoping I'll have a few more pickings like this before the season is done. (This should bring back a lot of memories for my mom!)

Final Game

This was at the end of Nathan's final game for the season. They lost, but gave the other team a run for their money when his team fought back from 10-2 and got it up to 10-6.

Silly Jessica!

Jessica has a thing with socks going on. I just had to take this picture. If she had a beehive hair-do the outfit would be complete!

Last Day of School

We were invited to a friend's house for an "end of the year" water party. Ashlyn isn't in any of the pictures because she went to a different water party. It rained on us a bit, and it wasn't the warmest day; but the kids still had a great time!

More Baseball

Here's another shot of Nathan and Ashlyn batting at their games this week. Only one more week of games!

A view from along the trail in Adam's Canyon in Layton, Utah.

We were hoping to reach some of the waterfalls further up the trail, but the boys were worn out, and it was time to head back. But this was a fun spot to end at either way. There was a lot of run off and it was coming fast too!

Our group on the hike. (2 boys couldn't come.) This is just after the first stretch before you get into the trees, so you can see part of East Layton behind us. And even though the one boy doesn't look like it...he did have a fun time too!
