Finally, we cleaned up the garage.

The weekend before Chris started school, we spent three days painting, putting up shelves and organizing the garage. I think that it looks really good for a garage. Our friends Katie and Brendon spent hours helping us, thanks you guys! Most of the storage seems to be bins full of kids clothes. Someday, when I no longer need them, I will get rid of them all! I have been all about organizing lately. I have gutted and reorganized pretty much every closet and drawer in our house.

Happy Birthday!

Chris' Birthday was August 10th. My family celebrated by going to Texas Roadhouse. The Sirloin Medalions are so yummy, they melt in your mouth. Chris' present was a massage chair (pad that goes on a chair, not the chair) and some sunglasses. I made him a Wacky cake for dessert.

The last week in Utah, we went bowling and to dinner with my sister, Jamie and her husband, Bobby. The night started out a little depressing though, Chris had been having swelling and pain in his armpit. As some of you know, he had melanoma about two years ago. He had to have some lymph nods removed from both of his armpits as well as a bunch of skin from his chest. To make a long story short, he thought that the cancer had returned in his lymph nods. He had been on line reading about how he was going to die for a couple of days. He was so worried and sad and so were we. Luckily, he had an ultrasound, saw his Doctor and it was just normal swelling and a pulled muscle. As you can see from the photos, we all had a good time.

Uinta's

Chris' parents have some property in the Uinta's, so we went camping two different times with them. This was the last trip, we rode the ATV's up to Lily Lake and had a picnic.

Bear Lake

I kinda mixed up the pictures, so they are out of order. Cool picture! Riley, Justin and Ashton enjoying the water.

Ah, mosquitoes!

Riley and Katie playing in the water, it was the perfect day.

The cousins are ready to go to Bear Lake.

Oh how pretty!

We took a little hike down to this river, but were quickly attacked by mosquitoes.

Fun times at Bear Lake

So, my family went camping at Bear Lake. We stayed one night with Jeff, Shauna, Katie, Kylie and Jamie. Then everyone left and Justin and Alicia came to be with us the next night. The kids had so much fun running through the trees and playing in the dirt. I love my family, they are my best friends- sob.

More Uinta pictures! Yeah!
