On August 16 through the 20th, Emily and I went with 5 other women to the Boundary Waters (that's so named because they are the waters between Minnesota and Canada).

Good Morning

Here is the view I get to see this time of year as I look out our front door.  Isn't it just beautiful and green?  As you may see, we had a little rain last night and it just keeps everything looking marvelous!   Come and visit us sometime!!

Recent Highlights..............

Here are some of the highlights of the last few days...............

We had a fun girls night out eating pizza and playing games........

McKenzie competed in the Bountiful Sprint Triathlon (3.3 mile run, 11 mile bike & 350 yd. swim). She finished 4th overall in the women's division and took 1st in her age group. Hooray!!

Cole just completed his first week of fall camp with the BYU football team. He is loving every minute and is exhausted by the end of the day. They start at 7 am and end around 8 pm. The day is full of position meetings, lifting, practice & team building activities. He is living the dream of playing for BYU. He has loved them from the time he was a little boy and still can't wrap his head around that he is wearing a BYU uniform. YAY for #65!!!
