Another great work from Amber

Amber had an art project that she had to finish over the summer, so, of course, the day before school starts she gets it done.  We LOVE it!  Can you tell who it is a painting of?

David's Labor Day Birthday

David enjoyed his 6th birthday at Chuck E. Cheese's, one of his favorite places.  What a great way to end the summer!

The cake did have two light sabers on it, but it got squished somehow! He didn't seem to mind!

Summer fun!

So this has been a fun and busy summer. So busy that I didn't take the time to blog about it. So here is our summer in pictures, hopefully in chronological order with a few descriptions. Enjoy!



A visit from the Stantons for 4th of July!

Amber and Megan were on the same summer soccer team.


Mom and the kids went camping at Plum Creek in Walnut Grove, Minnesota
Steven attended Camp Grey Wolf, a leadership camp.



Family Reunion time! We had back to back reunions this summer. It was great! The Westover Reunion was in Heber City, Utah and the Stotts Reunion was at Aspen Grove, a BYU alumni camp. We had a blast and loved visiting with family!

Sammy, Nicole, Amber and Kenzie--We love cousins!

The kids loved being in their age groups doing all sort of fun activities.
While the kids were in their age groups, Maria and Kelly did the high ropes course and hiked Mt. Timpanogas!

Uncle Adam took Amber's senior pictures while we were at Aspen Grove
Megan and Steven at the Family Dance!
David showed us his moves at the dance!



We drove through Yellowstone National Park on the way home and saw some amazing sights and animals. We enjoyed all of it except the stomach flu that went through the family while we were there.

We got home from Utah and left one day later for Girls Camp in Nauvoo, Illinois.  Maria went along as an assistant cook.  Fun!

The last weeks of summer were spent around home and enjoying Minnesota.

At the Minnesota State Fair!  What a party!
We finished off the summer with an evening of theater: WICKED!
It was a great summer and we are sad to see it come to an end!
