24th of July

For the 24th of July this year we decided to head up to the Uintas and hike a trail to Notch Lake. The trail was beautiful and still covered in lots of wildflowers. We got to the lake and met Jeremy's best friend Brian and

his wife Mandy who had camped there overnight.

The scenery was just great and we had a fun time walking around

and enjoying being outside in the nice cool air.

Brian did a little jumping from the rocks. He did check out the landing zone to make sure it was free of any rocks! (Even though it looks like he is heading straight for that big rock in the water!)

We found a huge rock/bench that was just perfect for being lazy.

Then we headed down to Kamas and had yummy burgers

and excellent shakes after our day of hiking

(I had a key lime pie shake . . . . and in fact it was so

delicious I wish I were eating it right now!)

It was a great day!

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

It is Jeremy's birthday today!

Since both of us are in Primary

the kids got to sing to him last Sunday.

We usually sing to kids and teachers,

but Jer was the only person there to sing to!

I think he really enjoyed everyone singing to him,

while he just stood up there, hoping the song would be over soon!

Happy Happy Birthday Jeremy dear

Happy days will come to you all year!

If I had one wish, then it would be

A Happy Happy Birthday to you from me!

Here are a few things that Jeremy loves and

I am sure wishes he were doing today instead of working and going to school!

Being in Maui snorkeling and playing in the water

Eating ice cream

Hiking, backpacking or anything outside

Building something!

Playing with our fun nieces and nephews

He loves playing with these kids so much

and I am pretty sure they

love playing with him back.

(Maren still giggles every time Jeremy says hi to her!)

Happy Birthday to You!
