Herriman Lake




We went to a new man-made lake out in Herriman with my sister and nephews! What a great get-away it is! You don't even feel like you are just outside a neighborhood community! The boys had a great time playing in the sand and swimming---even Kensley participated! We all enjoyed a picnic lunch (and even had a margarita for the mommies :)!). We look forward to going out there again soon---I hear that its becoming a popular place, so if you go, get there early since parking is limited!


Our New Cabin!


We just purchased a family cabin in Oakley, just outside of Park City! This is something we had wanted to do for a long time, and the opportunity came a little sooner than we anticipated. We are expecting to close towards the end of September. I am looking forward to decorating it, and Scott is excited about getting some "toys" (i.e. snow mobiles, four wheelers, etc.) to use while we are up there. We are hoping to be able to fit 6 adults and 4 kids comfortably, so everyone plan on joining us sometime soon! I will keep you updated on the pictures...here is one that we have just from the outside that Scott took.

Soccer!

Lily and Parker "watching" the game



Maddox participated (of course) in soccer again this Summer. It was great to have his friend Jackson, and Riley on his team. He also had quite a cheering squad with his good friends, The Arce-Larreta's, cheering him on! He loves to play, and is already looking forward to Fall League.

Draper Days 2009








Every July is 'Draper Days'. There is a whole week of fun-filled activities from concerts in the park, childrens parade, rodeo, and the big Draper Days Festival complete with a firework show. We participated more this year and realized how great it is to live in Draper! We look forward to this event every year!

Sunriver Oregon Trip







Here's just a few pictures taken from our recent Sun River, Oregon trip. What a beautiful place to visit...my only complaint is the 2-day car ride it takes to get there (11 hours in the car + 3 kids= a looooong time). We were able to do some swimming, a lot of mountain biking, trips to the park, and of course, a girls spa/lunch day. It's always fun to see our old friends and meet the new kiddos!
