Summer

Erik receiving a scholarship from the "Sons of the Utah Pioneers" along with his 
SUU Founders scholarship.

Erik graduated from High School... with Honors, and several Diplomas of Merit.  Cool! 

Hard work is what this boy is familiar with.

Memorial Weekend.... we all took a hike!  To Kolob. 
Kolob Natl' (upper part of Zion's Natl') is a lot closer of a drive for us.  It is beautiful. 

Youth Conference! I love all these kiddos!  Dennis and I had a great time.  We were worn out even after a few days back at home.  Our youth conference was spent up in Salt Lake touring Kennecott, the Temple Quarry, the Humanitarian Ctr and Temple Square and surrounding sites.  We stopped at Cove Fort on our way.  What a great legacy the pioneers left for us. 
It is a great calling to be involved with the youth.  They are a great group of kids.

I am on the left in a white shirt and Dennis is on the right on the back row. 
 Justin is in the back near Dennis.

Justin was excited to catch a freebie shirt that Nitro Circus threw into the crowd.  He went earlier in the day to get all their autographs.  And Cam's.

Go Cam Levins... wooo hoo!

Brooke and Tim ran the 5K and both got PR's!  (Dennis and I babysat Camden and cheered them on as they ran down the finishing stretch to finish line.

And Ashley won the 10K.  She was 1st in her age group and first woman overall winner.
