Things in between


I think the highlight of Lanes 7th grade
year was being on the flag football team!

And sadly, this was the only picture on mine and Casey's phone.



I was naughty and snuck a picture in the chapel
of a sweet friend reunion!
The Newtons came back for a visit.



Pretty comical how these twins showed up to the dunes all matchy, matchy!



When dad is working down the street, you go visit and help him work!





I was on a long run for my half marathon training along the canal.
I passed by Trey's house, where Rusty was playing, and heard little 
voices. I yelled their names and all of a sudden, 2 heads popped up
 wondering who in the heck was over the fence, lol!



This girl has some plumber problems!



Rusty was first up to dunk his teacher Mrs. Griner at the school carnival.




We babysat Tanner and Olive for a few days while the rest of their
family went to Universal Studios!

I took them to the zoo.
Coincidentally, Olive happened to be going the same day on a field
trip with her class!
We never did see her, but it was a fun day with good weather 
and lots of animals to look at.




The best kind of drive home:)


I went to gather the kids for prayers so we could go to bed.
I walked into the room to see that they had put every single toy
we own in the pack and play!

Little stinkers.



This.
I'm still laughing at this one.

Our neighbors down the street finally got the city
to come pour a new sidewalk in front of their house
that had been causing water build up.

After the pour was done, they cautioned taped off the area
to make sure nobody walked on it as it was drying.

I was pulling out of my garage to get the kids from the bus
when I noticed some neighbor kids huddled over there.
STANDING on the concrete.
And oh, wait.
Are they writing on it?

YEP!!

I hope they learned to be more discreet next time and not use first
or last names, lol!


Love their matching rompers




Poor Casey fell of this 12 ft high ledge into an empty swimming pool
at work. Luckily he has cat like reflexes and
 landed on his feet and not his head!


The result?
A busted up foot.

Poor guy had wear a boot for a few weeks.



That did not stop him from working!
One of the contractors must have been feeling his pain
and made a special chair for him at the job site!

Craig left on his mission!


Craig got his mission call to Honduras!
Don't ask me what City:)

He is the baby in our big family.
I was a senior in high school when he was born.
He was 3 when Casey and I got married.
And he is more of a friend to Lane than an Uncle!

I am grateful for his example and willingness to serve the Lord!

After his endowment session at the Gilbert temple.
After his farewell talk at church.
We did double duty and zipped over to our ward afterwards to
 have Lane get set apart as a Teacher!
He also got set apart to be the class secretary. 


The night before the big day.
All set apart as an official missionary!

I am excited to see if Lane is the same height as him when he get home.


All the siblings.



 

Farewell Elder Lindblom!

Bear Lake Ski Trip





We planned another adult only ski trip since the last one was so fun!
This time around it was us, Jacksons, Rudd's and Rieses.
We flew to Salt Lake, then hopped in rental cars to drive to Bear Lake for the weekend!
Not without going to Nelsens, first!


Cutest rental home.






The view right outside our bedroom window.


Jeanette brought her wax and found a great client.
Casey!
Her exact quote.
"Do you not know how to man-scape, casey?"
Haha.





Spent the day at Beaver Mountain skiing!




And nothing tastes better than a big pizza after a long day on the slopes!!


And nothing tops off a giant pizza like famous Bear Lake raspberry shakes!





The next day we rented snow mobiles and went tubing!




Cheers with our raspberry jam, butter and sherbet!
It's a raspberry dream at Bear Lake!

How many jackets do 2 people need for 4 days in the snow!




The time always flies way too quickly!



And kudos to Stephanie for getting all 8 children to church by 8am while we were gone!
She watched our kids, and they loved their vacation, too.
