Sun Valley

Finally A Vacation!!! It was short yet so much fun. My dad has had meetings in Sun Valley every summer ever since I can remember. We decided to go this year along with my brother and his family. This year the weather wasn't as "sunny" as usual but it did warm up enough to go in the pool. We got there on Father's Day in the evening. We had a late dinner and then soaked in the hot tub before bed.The next day started off quite chilly. Jared and I taught everyone how to play one of our favorite card games - NERTZ. While the kids played in the hot tub us adults stayed in and played the game. That night we were up until late playing - we were all so tired we could hardly think!

Finally, late in the afternoon we made it to the pool. It had warmed up a lot and the water was actually very nice. This was Mason's first time in a pool and he wasn't sure what to think. He screamed for the first few minutes and then decided it was pretty fun and was babbling and kicking like crazy the whole time. He was so cute. Here is Mason screaming!Happy!What's fun about a pool unless someone does a chicken fight!

My nieces, Kaylie and Ashlyn were showing us how it's done.

Playing keep away

This is my cute nephew, Jace. He just kept going from pool to pool

I love his sunglasses!

My niece Brynn decided it would be fun to hook straws together and see how tall she could get it and still be able to suck her Root Beer out. She maybe barely got a taste and kept making it bigger and bigger. Jace caught on pretty quick and did the same thing. It was so funny!

Here's our little man tuckered out after his day at the pool.

Ogden Marathon

In May, Jared and my dad completed their third marathon. Jared did his personal best and did so awesome. He wasn't going to do this marathon again but my dad had already signed up so Jared decided to do it, too. I was so proud of both of them. Next up - St. George in October.

Me and my Mom - proud of our guys

Happy Father's Day

Well, this was Jared's first official Father's Day. Mason made it special by giving him a tie and a picture of himself to his dad for work. We couldn't get Mason to look at the camera because he was so excited about the card so finally Jared just held him up.
After church we traveled to Sun Valley, Idaho for a little vacation time. Jared is such a great dad to Mason. I always knew he would be but he has certainly exceeded all my expectations. Happy Father's Day Jared!
