Happy Anniversary!

Sunday, September 7th is Kelly (Milewski) and Shane Martin's one year anniversary! We're so happy for you guys and glad Shane's a part of the family! Congrats!

Happy 24th of July!

So anyone outside Utah probably doesn't consider this date important, but in Utah July 24th is at least as big, if not bigger than the 4th of July. It's a state holiday celebrating the day the pioneers came to Utah. There are parades, fireworks, and everything that goes with it. Kids that are in year round school have already started and get the day off, many places are closed, and it's a day to play, so that's what we did.
Jeff's 2 older brothers both have 3 kids and we got together with them for a water party during the day.



Jeff's aunt has the blow up slides she let us borrow for the day since they had other plans.
Jeff was unfortunately still in CA for work and missed the water party, but when he got home that night we had our own little family fireworks show. Our neighbors were out with theirs too. So it was fun cheering for each others fireworks when we had cool ones.




What has everyone else been up to this summer? Please post and let us know!

Cold Springs

Cold Springs

Memories of COLD SPRINGS (Ellenburg Depot, NY) warms my heart! Remember the days when beach towels covered the rocks by the deep end and small children ventured in the shallow end? What a great place to explore as a kid and remember with fondness as an adult. ( This is the shallow end.)

The Dunk

Is there anything more exciting than catching a fish as a kid? Joy can be simple and you don't have to be an expert! Caitlyn, Cassidy, and Carter Nye with Frankie Firek at Chateaugay Lake.
