What's up this summer.

I have so many pictures and activities to post about and not a lot of time, or focus, to get them posted.
I have already had an eventful summer, I don't know that my kids feel the same way (see Ellie's post).  Since school ended we went to St. George for a few days for a Hays family reunion, (my side of the family).  Lots of fun family time with cousins on the lake, at the pool, in the lava tubes, playing games enjoying good food and each others talents.  We had great time.
The following weekend I ran the Ragnar relay with a team from our ward ( a couple not from the ward).  Jeff was going to run until he injured his leg a couple of weeks before the relay.  Luckily we had him as a volunteer for the relay.  It was a beautiful run with great weather and great company.  I am glad it is over :)

This week is moving week.  We have been working on moving for the last three years and now we finally are doing it.  We are moving to a house in Sandy and are very excited for the change.  We are excited for a larger home with more storage space, a garage and a neighborhood with sidewalks.  Now if I can just get through all of the packing and unpacking.  Such a good excuse to declutter isn't it?

Next week we have a Belcher family reunion, (my mom's side) while celebrating the 4th of July.  I have a cousin who said the title of her next book would be "Family Reunions: Heaven or Hell?"  I'll let you know at the end of the summer after all of our reunions which it is.

Jessica has been doing a summer reading program at school.  It is Mon-Thurs from 8-10 for five weeks.  It gets us up and going in the morning and I have to remember homework each night but we are hoping it will be with it. She is a trooper it's a lot of work for her but she sticks with it; as long as I keep offering good incentives:) 

Stay tuned, I will try and get pics posted soon.  Until then we will keep playing hard this summer!!!

Well congrats on the new home! Did you sell your current one? Good luck with the packing and unpacking - at least you're not moving cross country.

Yeah, please post those Pics. They will be fun to look at. You have had a very full summer this year with moving on top of it all.
