Summer of Utah Adventures!

Summer 2017 in Utah.  Devon was in Columbus, Ohio for his internship at Nationwide Insurance while we stayed back in Utah.  He left on May 13 and got back on Aug. 5.  We sure missed him while he was gone, but we tried to stay busy and have fun anyway!

Memorial Day ~ Fun at Heber Valley Camp!

We all had a wonderful time with the Hoshouer family.

At her first race, she placed 2nd in both her events -- freestyle and backstroke!

Playground fun while Edmund is at soccer practice!

Happy 4th of July!

Fun at Thanksgiving Point!

By far, the highlight of the summer was the surprise trip to Disneyland with Uncle Steve and Aunt Rachel!  The kids had a great time!

Winter in Utah

These last couple of days, we have visited the park twice and have enjoyed playing outside in the front yard.  Hooray for 60 degree weather in February!!!!  Here is a look at the last couple of months:

Thanks to MBASA (BYU's MBA Spouse Association), Faye and I were able to attend the ballet The Nutcracker at the beginning of December.

Christian is a hard sleeper!  Trying to make him the least comfortable as possible, this is how I brought him in after he had fallen asleep in the car.

  

Fun in the snow!

It's great to be 8!  Faye celebrated her 8th birthday and was baptized a couple of days later.  Grandma Phillips came to celebrate!

Ramona and Great Grandma Schiffman

 

Merry Christmas!

Ramona's favorite hang out spots.

Her high chair.  FOOD!

The jumper.  WATCH THIS!

The three older kids and I went to BYU's production of Mary Poppins.  I took them to the last dress rehearsal (for economic reasons) on Wednesday, Jan. 25th.  (School night.)

The play lasted from 7:30-10:30!!!  We didn't get home until 11!!!!
