Mikayla and Zack on Zack's 13th birthday. Yes, he's really 13.


Zack opening his birthday present.


We have a little tradition in our family. When I take pictures of the kids on their birthday, they have to show (with their fingers), how old they are. Well, Zack is 13 so he needed some extra fingers, which Mikayla provided!
We visited the Kennedy Space Museum while in Orlando.


One of the interesting things to see in Florida.

More sights in Orlando. This is a museum/fun house.
The view outside of our hotel room in Cocoa Beach, Florida. The ocean waves are right behind the grassy spot in the middle of the picture. We just so happened to be in Cocoa Beach the same time as Tropical Storm Fay. Ironically a couple of hours after we took this picture there was a tornado.


It's hard to tell but that's John in the middle of that picture. He decided to go body surfing in the middle of a tropical storm in Florida. The picture is foggy because the wind was blowing the sand so hard.


Mikayla at Ken's Lake, still our favorite place to be in the summer.
Annie, loving every minute..........

Zack went to a football camp in June at the University of Utah. He had a great time and decided he wants to play football in Jr. High this year. Very scary from a mom's perspective. He really enjoys playing so we are going to let him. Zack is the one on the far left in a red t-shirt.







Zack getting ready to go play.
What a good looking guy!
Zack taking a little break.
They were EXHAUSTED after all of the traveling and playing on our trip! As you can see they are piled on eachother like pancakes! Normally they would be fighting about having their own personal space!
We went to Oklahoma this June to go see my cousin Amber get married. It was great! I have not seen some of my family for a few years.

Does he look happy to be done with Elementary or what?!?

John and I had the wonderful opportunity to go to Boston in May. We were able to see my Grandma while we were there. I hadn't seen her since we lived there 15 years ago so it was a pretty special experience.
John and I by the U.S.S. Constitution in Boston (although you can't actually see the boat in this picture?!?)


J.D. had a tumbling recital in May. He is showing off his award!

J.D. doing some warming up before his big show!
