How much fun can kids have with an empty box? Lots of fun, apparently.

239/365: Royal: The Soccer Superstar!

Royal got new soccer shorts, socks, and shoes. If he had an orange jersey, he'd look just like his cousin, Hudson.

T-shirts are in for Canyon Crest and we love them! Come get yours today!

237/365: The Lightning Show

Mitch and Hudson took our seats (mine and Paul's) to watch the lightning show tonight. That's okay. They are going to bed soon and I'll get my seat back. Hope the show isn't over by then.

236/365: Soccer Game

Today was Hudson's first soccer game and I learned 3 things today.

3) I need a better camera.

235/365: Another Hike Up Buffalo Peak

234/365: A Lucky Wedding

I DJ-ed an outdoor wedding tonight and the weather started out terrible! It was rainy and so windy. But then it blew over and this rainbow came out and the rest of the night was perfect.

Hudson and Soren: off to conquer Centennial Middle School.

231/365: First Day of School

Mitch did not want to have his picture taken, so his two teachers "sandwiched" him in between them. I think he DID like that. Thanks Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Strong.

225/365: Seven Peaks Water Park

I got to go with our ward's Young Men/Young Women to 7 Peaks Waterpark (strictly as an extra driver. Not as an extra swimmer). This is Hudson coming down the Free Fall slide.

224/365: JOA Nails

So, that's a big White Tiger stripe in the middle of Mary Lee's nails. She hates it. I kind of like it. Thank you Heather from JOA Nails.

223/365: Welcome Home Sister Olsen

Paige's second companion gave her homecoming talk today and invited Paul and I to hear her. It was so fun hearing her talk about Paige and how much she loved her.

Making progress...very slow progress.

221/365: A Ducky Reception

If your last name is Pond, then of course, your wedding reception theme is Rubber Duckies.

Two PTA meetings in one day? A little much, wouldn't you say?

Killing some time in The City of Rocks with the Lee Family

216/365: Moon Over South Fork

Busy day results in bad picture du jour. Paul did a wedding up the canyon at South Fork Park. I helped him load up the car and snapped this picture with my phone. If you look reeeealllly hard, you can see the 1/2 moon over the mountain.

215/365: "Aida"

The whole family saw the production of "Aida" tonight at the Scera Outdoor Theater (to see our dear friend, Nikole Clayton). We have lived here 12 years and this is the first time we have been to anything at the Scera. We Are Lame.

214/365: Dragonfly

Yes, it's a real dragonfly. No, I did not paint it gold.

Picking berries early in the morning at my mom's house: one of my favorite activities.
