Sweet Sweet Summer

Summer always is the best! July is always packed with fun things to do so I am finally home for more than a few days and can post. Paul and I started out the summer by being the Pony Express for the trek. We took up my Dad's horses and rode in with the mail. It was fun and we were excited we could feel comfortable without my Dad there.
Paul is back to the usual with the knee at 100%! It was great to take him along skiing this year instead of last when he would watch us go with a pouty face...ha!

We went to Lake Powell with the Bult family. It is so fun to have all 5 sibs close and all fun to be around. We went out together in the mornings and skiied. I am so lucky to have siblings that I love and love being around!

The Judkins family went to California for our big family trip this year. We visited the LA Temple, Universal Studios, Disneyland, beach, surfing, and BBQ with our cousins, the Richs. It was so fun and with Jaxson leaving for a mission in October to Monterrey West Mexico Mission, it will probably be the last time we go with no kids and all adults! We all were able to do anything, everyone kept up, and we played hard!



Grandma Gwen came down with us and stayed with her sister Nola. They came with us to one of the Disneyland parades. We had so much fun and thanks to the parents for planning it!

You have had a fun and busy summer! You look so cute in your pioneer clothing! It's so sad to me that i haven't seen you in forever. We need to plan a lunch and get all the girls together to catch up! Way cute pictures:)

Of course you and Paul were the Pony Express! No one else is that cool. So impressive.
