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!

Love your pictures! Doesn't Plum Creek have something to do with Little house on the Prairie? You are so lucky to live so close to Nauvoo..what wonderful, spiritual memories for your girls!
We actually saw the Ingall's dugout and watched the Laura Ingall's Wilder pageant. It was great since I had read all of the books to Megan and Marissa a while ago. Nauvoo was very spiritual. A unique experience for Gilr's Camp that's for sure.
You guys saw Wicked again? I really enjoyed that production when it was in Dallas. It was so great seeing you guys and having a blast together!! Can't wait to see you guys again!
