August, pt. 1

So the month of August has been crazy and I really am going to do better at updating you people on our lives through this wonderful blog, so I guess I'll go back to right after Bear Lake and see how far I can get for now....

***p.s. Yes, we made it to Arizona and yes, we are dying of heat!!! But more about that later.

After Bear Lake we got settled in for our few weeks' stay at my parents and the fun began! Our most common activities while we were there included: card games with everyone, rook with just my parents, beach volleyball, badmitton and croquet in the back yard, walks around the neighborhood with Sal and anyone that wanted to go, watching the early episodes of LOST with my mom at night, and much more!

In addition to all of that, we also...

Went swimming with the Bundy's at the Layton Surf 'N Swim

Went rock climbing with mom and the boys

And did a bike ride up Green Canyon with, again, mom and the boys.

We had a blast staying at my parent's and surprisingly and amazingly enough, my mom actually developed a liking for Sal, and I might even dare to say a love for him! Don't get me wrong, she is still not a dog lover, just a Salomon lover. If you can believe it, she let him INSIDE the house on multiple occasions and even threw his slobbery ball for him. I never thought I'd ever live to see something like this in my life, but we're so grateful that it worked out so wonderfully to stay there! The boys had a lot of fun with him too and they even gave him 2 baths during our stay.

Also, before we left, we sold our nice, lovely, beautiful truck.

We will miss that truck.......... But seriously, we kind of will. So it's a good thing we sold it to one of Brody's friends! Maybe we'll still get to see it around.
