Dog Over Board

We took Evie out for her first outing on the water! She was so freaking excited!!! She loved her life jacket and was in and out of the water non-stop.

By the end of this little adventure poor Evie seemed more like a nervous wreck rather then excited. So I guess her trips out on the will not be too often.

Boating - Day 1

We survived our first day of boating!!! We had an absolute blast!

We are now the proud owner's of a '98 1950 Bayliner Capri. We have talked on and off about wanting a boat. We found a great deal on KSL and decided to take the plunge (pun intended)!

It was raining when we launched and as we came back in, but other then that we had perfect weather. We bought a yearly pass for the Saratoga Springs dock, which is only 10 minutes from our house.

Shakierra was a trooper and kept trying to get up on the wake board.


I kept trying too, it might take a while before I get the hang of it.
Myles made us all look like goobers. He made it look so stinking easy!
I love this shot of Brad. Doesn't he look like a natural!?!

As we were starting to come in for the day we saw a stranded family on a boat. They think their fuel pump was to blame. So we jumped into Search & Rescue mode! We towed them to the AF marina (which took a while!) Then Myles and Brad jumped out and guided their vessel to the actual dock and helped push it onto their trailer. It was a good experience for all of us!

Mountain Biking

Myles decided on a new Mountain Bike for his b-day. In Eagle Mountain they have a great biking park. He and his friend Josh have been hitting the trails there pretty regularly lately, so I know the gift will get good use!

Myles went in for his driving permit test the first day the DMV was open after his b-day. He passed the test on the first try! Great Job Myles!! So he has become our chauffeur. It is great to have a driver, plus I am getting to spend more time with Myles then normal :)

4th of July aka Myles' B-Day

We had a wonderful 4th of July Celebration at Heather and Joe's house. We had delicious food, crazy games, birthday presents, and beautiful fireworks. We were able to sit in front of their house and watch the Thanksgiving Point fireworks show.

We played the same games as our Memorial Day BBQ. So there was no shortage of laughs and blackmail photos!!!

Here is Dave, Joe's Dad, shaking it!

Here is little Micah. The kids love this one, cause even they can do it!

Mckenna was really getting into the booty shaking!

Here is William, he loved this game and kept asking to do it again :)

Cute little Tawny!

Rob has quite the shakin' skills!

And now for the pantyhose game. Here is Sri giving it her all!

Joe broke to the peer-pressure and played along this time around!

Rob doing his best to keep his balance :)

Dennis was all over this game!

And good old Grandpa even volunteered to start this game, too show everyone how it was done!!

It was wonderful to have so much family around to celebrate our nations birthday...oh, and Myles' too. We were even able to finalize Mom's headstone while we were all together. Cant wait to see how it turns out!
