Three months come and gone... no excuses!

JUNE:

Girl's Camp was a highly anticipated event for me each summer. I gained great friendships and a budding testimony of the Savior and His gospel. I was thrilled to be asked to serve as the camp director for our ward. Going to camp again after many years...and WITH Kaylie is a dream-come-true. 

It was a testimony-building week for us and a memorable one, as well.

We had an awesome group who worked hard, played hard, and slept hard!

Kaylie makes me smile :)!

Art City 5k...a "renewed" family tradition

For many years, we ran/walked the Art City 5k as a family. We have missed out the last several years (girls camp, forgetful, etc). On a whim, I signed us up this year in hopes of incorporating some physical activity into our summer. Unfortunately, Jacob had a camp-out so we ran without him.

The only race that I know of that hands 
out tons of prizes....  
we anxiously await our number!

 It payed off...literally.

Jacob's number was called...$100 and a soccer ball. 
Jordan graciously accepted it for him.

Then, my number was called... $25 and a tool kit.

Finally, Kaylie's number was called...a candle-warmer and $50!

I am sure we will pick up this tradition again, hopefully the odds will forever be in our favor. It was a fun morning!

Ready to take on the adventures that lay ahead.

Tackling the balance beam and the moving vines... 
a scout must constantly balance school, family, hobbies and faith, choosing wisely how to spend his time and not allowing himself to be distracted by unworthy things.

Swing across the bottomless pit...
living the standards of the scout law, standards like being Honest, Helpful and Obedient, helps you avoid many of the pitfalls of life.

After running from a large "boulder" and avoiding the flying "poisonous" q-tips is a prize worth any sacrifice...
there is great value in setting goals and working towards the prize of becoming an Eagle Scout.   
 
Congratulations, Jacob!
