Lehi City Parade

Now that Kayden is on the karate demo team, he marches in the local cities parades.  He had his first one this morning and even though it was hot, he had a great time!

 All decked out in all things Demo.

Puppy Love

Jeremy is anxious to get Boston all trained to go running with him.  You can't start too early!

Boston loves to hang out in the backyard.  He finds all kinds of trouble!

New Belt

Kayden had another belt advancement.  It is fun to watch him perform some of his moves:

 

 

 

 He is moving right long through the belts.  He has recently joined the Demo team!

Hump Day

We've made it half way! 

Now we only have a year until our missionary gets home!

Introducing Boston

Remember Oakley?  Remember how I gave Jeremy a puppy for his birthday (once Oakley was no longer with us)?  Well, I followed through on my birthday wish and we got a puppy....on Father's Day.  Meet Boston:

To say we love him may be an understatement.  Now we just need to convince Suki to love him too!

Lake Powell 2019

If there is one picture that can sum up our trip to Lake Powell this summer this would be the one:

There was lots of relaxation to be had, and it was much needed!  And the scenery was great:

Kayden tried has hand at skiing:

He got up briefly!  He had lots of patient teachers.  He also tried his hand at cliff jumping but found himself going in bum first which resulted in some nasty bruising on the back of his thigh:

Jaxon and Josh learned to surf:

The boys did lots of tubing:

Jaxon and Lance even went on a tube ride not holding on.  It was quite entertaining:

We also had some great food and fun times on the houseboat.  Josh found a band in the lake that he wore the rest of the week.  He loved posing for pictures:

Jaxon had a wicked tan line:

We also took a boat trip to Rainbow Bridge:

It was a lovely vacation and we had a great time with everyone.  Thanks Sandy and Eldon for being such great hosts!

Jeremy's Half Marathon

Jeremy has picked up running again.  He loves to run with our foster dog, Oakley.  Jeremy decided to see if he still has what it takes to run a half marathon so he decided to sign up.  He did one early in the summer so he wouldn't have to train through the heat of the summer.  He missed running with Oakley during the marathon but he did great and got his best time!

He runs like the wind!

 

His most deserved medal!
