July and August (LONG)

Summer has been great here at our house.  Crazy busy, but a lot of fun.  We are all about ready for school to start but here are some of the great things we have participated in this summer.  First was the Weston FHE for June. We did an Olympics with different fun events for everyone.  I am doing the balloon toss, Brax is doing the long jump, Cameron is doing the sunflower seed spit, and mini golf.  We had a really fun time eating casseroles and doing events.  We even got medals :)   



In late June the Facer family all headed to Bear Lake for the weekend.  Mom and Dad rented a cabin in Paris and we took Tyler and Kiley's boat and Troy's ski-do's.  We spent two straight days on the lake the entire day.  It was great.  The funny thing was the Tara was always the first one that was ready to go, not the kids, Tara.  I think the kids could have stayed endless hours.





In mid July we headed for the Snake River to river raft with all of our friends.  Mostly Shane's friends from growing up.  We all get together a few times a year.  All of our kids get along so well and we relax, play, eat Great food, and have a great time.




July also brought swimming lessons.  Braxton and Dakota are quite the fish.  They love being in the water and are good at all the things they have to do to pass off their levels.



Dakota lost his first tooth.  He did not want to go to 2nd grade without loosing his first tooth.  He wiggled and even tried slamming the door with the string attached, but in the end I just pulled it out with a tissue.
Cameron is attempting to ride his bike without training wheels, he still needs some practice, but soon
We also went on a Weston Family Bike ride for FHE in August.  We didn't get any photos, but had a great time.  Cameron rode just like this, but behind Shane's bike.  We were on the parkway in Ogden and rode between 9 and 10 miles.  It was a good workout and a lot of fun.
