Summer Wrap Up

This is the summer wrap up. Since we've moved to Utah it has been CRAZY busy... in lots of fun and good ways... but still CrAzY! But I am determined to write all of these wonderful memories down and get caught up. So here goes...

We went to the dinosaur museum in Ogden and had fun seeing dinosaur statues both inside and out. Along our walk we found a fun cave to hide out in. 

Natalie found a puddle and had to stop and splash her hands in it. The kids favorite part of the museum was the dinosaur playground at the end. Not too surprising.

Hanging out in a big dinosaur bone on the playground. 

I thought this was an adorable picture of Natalie standing next to her Daddy. So sweet. 

We went camping with Jared and Shaylee in the Uintahs. It was a beautiful spot. 

The kids loved trying to roast food over the fire, but their attention wavered after a minute or two. So Mom and Dad finished up the cooking. One of Natalie's times trying to cook her hot dog she accidentally slide it off of the roaster and into the fire. She was so confused about where it went. 

Jordan and Natalie had fun finding sticks, rocks, and hanging out with Uncle Jared and Aunt Shaylee. 

The kids where thrilled when they found out that Jared and Shaylee brought their dog! They had so much fun with her and fed her way too many hot dogs. 

Lake Washington. A wonderful name and a wonderful sight. 

The kids got to go fishing for the first time! Preston had a blast helping the kiddos fish. It was adorable to see the excitement of the kids and their Dad.

Some fun pictures of Jordan and Uncle Jared having some fishing bonding time. 

Victory! Jordan was thrilled to be able to catch, reel a fish in, and hold it up for all to see. Way to go J Man!

Natalie likes doing whatever her brother is doing and so she wanted to try her hand at some fishing. With some help from Dad she caught a fish too. I love the smiles of accomplishment on their faces. So cute!

On our drive out we noticed a waterfall and stopped to check it out. Very pretty. 

Thanks Jared and Shaylee for the fun times!

Cabin time again and with that means 4 wheeling time too. These kids love a good ride. 

Exploring the great outdoors. 

Jordan went for a ride with Grandpa. Red 4 wheeler, red shirts, helmets, and even some red licorice in Jordan's mouth. Just a funny thing to notice. 

One of my friends, Michelle Williams from our BYU ward came to Utah to visit a bunch of folks. We were lucky enough to be one of them. Jordan and her some Tyler used to be buddies when they little babies. It was fun to see them play together now that they're older. 

They both Tyler and Jordan like super heroes so they got along great. Natalie and Riley had fun playing together too. 

When a Dad goes on the trampoline the fun goes up exponentially. These kids went crazy when Preston got on. He's a brave soul to take on 4 little kids. 

Stories at bedtime. The kids enjoyed Preston reading to them. 

Tyler, Jordan, Riley, and Natalie. I can't believe I was lucky enough to get a picture of them all sitting still for a second. What a bunch of cuties. 

We finished off with a birthday party for Great Grandma Murray. She is such a sweet and kind lady. I'm so happy I have gotten to know her better over the years in joining the Murray family.

Webb Family Time

A great part about weddings is that it gets families together. Here are some of the fun Webb family times we had after Charlie and Melissa's wedding. 

Here Jordan is having some fun play time with his cousins Grant and Collin. 

In the room next door Natalie and cousin Claire are having fun too. 

We went to a park and had fun playing on toys, throwing the Frisbee, eating pizza, and just visiting. 

This was the day that we shared with the fam that we are expecting baby #3! The Webb family is growing through marriage and more grand kids. I love my family and am so glad we could be together this August. 

Charlie and Melissa's Wedding

On August 14th, Charlie and Melissa were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. It was wonderful to be there to support and celebrate their special day. They are a fantastic couple and will be wonderful spouses for each other. We are so happy for them!

A view of my favorite temple. I love the history, sacrifice, beauty, and grandeur of this sacred temple. 

Here they are exiting the temple! Mr. and Mrs. Webb! Look at the smiles on their faces. Love it!

Looking at the beautiful grounds on temple square reminds me of when Preston and I were married here about 7 years ago. Wonderful times in the past and wonderful memories being made this day. 

A picture of some of the group outside the temple. Mom, the Peterson's (who were so awesome to come from Washington), Rebekah, etc. 

The kids entertained themselves pretty well outside the temple. Here Jordan and his cousins Grant, Collin, and Heath are throwing paper airplanes. Natalie is sitting with some of the other cousins Claire and Paige. It was so fun to have our kids play with their cousins during this wedding time.

What a gorgeous day to get married. Great planning Charlie and Melissa. 

Natalie and Jordan looking as cute as can be. 

One silly picture and one smiley picture of Ron, Bart, and Heather. 

Caught a picture of Jordan hiding in one of the indentations of the temple walls. He looks pretty dashing if I must say. Here's Natalie with her super big grin. I love these kiddos!

A nice picture with Aunt Heather. So glad to have so much family around. 

Bart and Preston looking good holding flowers. 

Claire, Natalie, Paige looking pretty in pink. 

Congratulations Charlie and Melissa! We love you and are so happy for you both!

Ogden Temple Open House

Here is a picture of the newly redone Ogden Temple. 

We had the opportunity and good timing to be moved back to Utah in time to attend the open house... and with my Mom too!

The kids favorite part was of course the fountain. It's amazing how kids are attracted to large amounts of water. Good news, no one feel in. 

"Smile!" Natalie's checking to see if Jordan is smiling. Yes, he's smiling and with his eyes closed even. Silly kiddos. 

It was wonderful to walk through the temple, see the beauty within, and to feel the spirit of peace inside. I'm so glad my Mom was able to go with us too. 

"I love to see the temple."
