We went up to Paradise, UT for our family reunion this past week. My cousin Angie and her husband have a resort up there with a lodge and 5 cabins on a river. We had a great time, visiting, eating, playing kickball, dice and Rummikub. We let the kids play in the river catching water snakes and tadpoles and riding in the side-by-side. As you can see, Grandpa West enjoyed it. Weston can't wait to shoot a shot gun, Uncle Jim told him when he is 7. I had all my brothers and sisters, and all of Jims kids, except Nelle (we missed her) on Monday night. We had a great time!!!

Another 5K!
Yesturday, Tauni, Carrie, Mom and I went up to Neola and did their 5K. Mom walked and the rest of us girls ran. We improved our times from last week each by 5 minutes. I did mine in 30 minutes. I couldn't believe it. We were signed up to do the 1/2 marathon, but decided we weren't trained as well as we wanted to be. After running the 5K we wished we had done it, next year we will do it and hopefully the Provo 1/2 marathon, too.
Last night we did fireworks in our driveway and watched the city ones from our backyard. Mom and dad came over for some hotdogs and fruit and hung out.
On the 3rd, we went up to the kids rodeo. I will post pictures soon. Weston wore his comboy hat, shirt and boots. He caught a rabbit, but it seemed sick and Ton gave it to another kid. Weston really wanted to get a pig, but their were 2 pigs for about 150 kids his age. Ty and Lex tried to get bunnies, but just ran in circles and Wes tried to direct Lex were to go, but I think she got nervous. We also enjoyed the chicken BBQ.

Where has June Gone?
Carrie, Tauni and I ran the Myton Daze 5K this morning. We had a great time. We are glad we did it. Each one of us placed and got a gift card. I missed Tony not being there since he had to work, but I appreciate my two brothers helping me out with my kids so I could do it!
Mom and I took a girls trip to St. Louis last week to visit my sister Jessica and her husband Puck. Tony volunteered to take the kids for the week and dad did't feel well enough to go. We had a blast. We went up to Navuoo and Carthidge Jail and did a session in the temple. We toured and had a great time. We went shopping, laid out at the pool and enjoyed each others company. My other sister Jen and her husband came down as well, since Zach had some meetings. We ate at the Chessecake Factory and yummy.
Tony survived with the kids and dad held down the fort at the office. It was great to just get away!
The First part of June we took a little family trip to Denver. We took the kids to the Zoo and ESPN Zone and played games, then the next day we went shopping, Kung Fu Panda and swimming at the hotel. Later that night, we took the kids to the Rockies game. The beat the Giants big time. Weston and Tony were in heaven. They got autographs of 4 Giants and then they did fantasy broadcasting of an inning. Alexa talked the whole time about anything but baseball and Ty just wanted food. We had a great time with each other, oh and when we went to checkout, Ty had charged about $50 of movies and music on our bill, I am glad the hotel let us out of that one- they realized they were each on 2 minutes at a time (thanks to T taking a nap while I took the other kids swimming :))
