Kimball Family Reunion: This is the Place

Marshall took James, Kade, Tag, and Sienna to the Kimball Family Reunion. Elder Cook was there and they got to meet him. They also enjoyed the rest of the activities at This is the Place. (Lynnlee and I went to Jenna's funeral)

Sienna to Sadie's pool

Sienna was invited to Sadie's grandparent's pool. I went for the first hour to make sure the girls were good. Sadie's mom was there too so we had a nice chat while the girls swam. It was a beautiful pool in Alpine. It was surrounded by trees.

Mall Scavenger Hunt

We enjoy a mall Scavenger hunt in the summer. Last time we went to University Place Mall. This time we went to the outlets in Lehi. Sienna and I were buddies. Lynnlee brought Eden. James was on his own. Kade and Hayden were partners. We all had our list and had 45 minutes to take pictures of everything. It was tricky!

I offered a $10 prize value to the winners, $5 to 2nd place and $3 to 3rd place. Last place didn't get anything. Some of the prize options were a caramel apple from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, smoothies from Jamba, Chick-Fil-A, pretzels from Auntie Anne's, etc. We never get pretzels from the mall even though everyone always wants one. We also don't get anything from the chocolate factory so I thought for sure someone would choose that for their prize. Kade's team won 1st, Lynnlee's team won 2nd, and Sienna and I took 3rd. James came in last. In the end everyone wanted Chick-Fil-A. So everyone got varying amounts. Kade and Hayden got full meals, Lynnlee and Eden got shakes, and Sienna and I got ice cream. James paid for his own :)

Mission Impossible

We went to Mission Impossible on discount Tuesday. James was at FSY but we had tickets for everyone else. Tag ended up going to Blake's grandma's for the week so he missed out. Hayden came in his place.

Orem Summerfest

We were sad about missing Lehi Round Up days so we decided to go to Oremfest. We felt really grateful because we went on a whim and found a close parking spot to the park with the booths. We had about a half hour to walk around and shop. Then we drove to the area near the start of the parade. Again, we were just winging it. We happened to go down a street where we got to park right next to the parade where a police woman was blocking off the road. Then we were able to set up chairs right in front to the police car which was front row seats for the parade. We were facing the sun but we didn't care because we were just happy to have a spot at the parade. The kids got tons of candy and freebies since we were near the start of the parade. 

Sienna really liked this hat and she was so torn on if she should buy it or not. In the end she didn't buy it but we got this cute picture of it.

Bridal Veil

The boys are getting ready for their backpacking trip to Wind Rivers. They hiked to Bridal Veil and another waterfall.

Orem Temple with Katelyn

Katelyn is going to Vietnam on her mission! We had the opportunity to go with her to the temple. It was a beautiful day and everything went well. It was the first time my dad has gone to the temple since he had a stroke so it was a big deal and very exciting to be there with him and my mom!

Sienna's Sewing Camp

Sienna participated in sewing camp with London and Scarlet. They made a messenger bag, apron, purse, hand sanitizer holder, and chapstick holder. It is such a fun camp and her projects turned out so cute! She chose to make everything out of the fabric with yellow rubber duckies.
