About half way through the trip, Evie started running a fever, she wasn't feeling so good in this picture :(

Stages

Evie went in stages with the whole raft idea. At first she was really excited to get in and started to push the raft out into the water and got in, she even liked it for a couple of seconds. But it didn't take long (as you can see by the bottom middle picture), the fun quickly came to a screeching halt and she wanted OUT!!

Brothers?

Danny, Mitch, and Jason.... Personalities similar, YES; all witty, smart and level headed. Look similar, NO not really!

Playing on the Beach

Bear Lake beaches are the best. The kids spent hours building sand castles, and playing in the water. The kids are so content, it makes it such a nice, relaxing trip!

Grandma and Evie

These are a couple of sweet pictures of Evie with her Grandma Harris just a couple weeks before she left on her mission with Grandpa. Evie loves her Grandma. Grandma Harris always makes sure their time together is meaningful and fun. They read books together and always seem to get in a few rounds of the song "Horsey, Horsey" while Grandma bounces Evie on her knee, Evie loves that!

Saying Goodbye

We will miss mom and dad as they serve their mission in Trinidad for 18 months. We had a little birthday party for Stratton slash farewell party for mom and dad at Murray park. Although it won't be the same without mom and dad around, we are excited for the great experiences that lie ahead for them.

Stratton turns "7"

Stratton is growing up so fast. He is getting ready to start 1st grade this year. He reads so well and loves to learn. He is my happy boy! Stratton wakes up with an agenda each day. He can't wait for the day to start and the adventures to begin. He is so creative and inventive. He has such an excitement for life. Stratton is a special boy and we love him so much!
