{Mowing}

So we have the smallest patch of grass in our backyard. And we don't need to mow the lawn very often, so we have the old push mower nothing fancy and gas powered here.

We were cleaning up the backyard and it needed to be mowed so K volunteered to do it. You need a lot of pressure to mow back there so he decided this was the best way to do it. I say as long as it gets done. (and he liked doing it too! I think he found himself a new job at our house!)

{Logan}

During our short trip to Draper, I made a quick drive to Logan to visit some dear friends who I don't get to see too often. It had been at least 2 years since we had been in Logan, but even longer since I had seen all of these friends. Plus Jennie had added a new member to her family, this beautiful little Abbi. And I needed to get up to visit before she was too big.

It was a great day and a wonderful visit with everyone. Thanks for such a great time!

{Return Missionaries}

We traveled to Draper Utah, for a quick weekend trip to welcome home our Grandma Walker and Grandpa Will. They returned after serving an 18 month mission to Rome Italy.

We were excited to see them and to be able to attend their church meetings where they spoke of what they learned while being in Rome all that time. We got to visit with them and help get everything ready for the luncheon at their home after church.

We are so happy to have them back in the States again and only a car ride away.

{Rain}

We don't get much rain here, it being the desert and all. So rain to us is like snow anywhere else. We get out the water guns, buckets or whatever items the boys want to collect rainwater in and send them out to play.

Another Sunday afternoon in the rain.

{Summer Swimming}

So we have a great family in our ward who is constantly giving and giving to others through sharing their house and their yard, which has a great backyard with the best pool for our boys. She insists and reminds the boys each week at church that we should come swim whenever we want at her house. She leaves the key to the gate for us and has taught me how to turn on all the water features, lights etc. She tells us when she is going out of town reminding us to swim even when she is gone. It is wonderful having her pool around the corner and pretty much available whenever we want.

We swam there at least once a week for a few hours and went a couple times in the evening for FHE.

The boys love it there and we are thankful for all the great memories we have made this summer while we swam.
