Family Pictures - Summer 2016

My sister, Kiana, had the great idea to take our pictures on the beach again.  I sure love this family of mine!

Trexton, Stockton, Kinley, Mom, Dad, Tayleah, and Kamdon.

Dad and the girls.

Dad and the boys flexing - ha ha!

Dad and the boys - so handsome!

"Every love story is great, but ours is my favorite."

Serisouly, I love Jeep so much!

Trexton contemplating the vast ocean.

Mom and the boys.

Stockton cracks us up!

He's seriously so funny!

He's also a sweetheart and my baby! 

Having a teenager isn't that bad.  Kin is so fun!

Kam got the most photogenic award for the day.  Can't you see mischief in his smile? 

He was a little cold, but he is so handsome!

Our beautiful Tayleah. 

She is a superhero to us and many others.

Kin is getting too pretty!

Trex looking grown up too.

Our handsome Stockies.

My heart is full of love for each of them!

July 2016

We kicked off July with the Barker Bash!  Glen and Nedra had a delayed reception party at their cabin, and it was fun to hang out with cousins and loved ones.

Jeep, Nisha, Josh, and Heidi.

The Jeep Spauldings and the Barkers.

We hurried home to help put on and run in the annual 4th of July 5k. 

Lindsey came to Milford for the 4th!

Siblings minus Koda.

WE LOVE THE 4TH OF JULY IN MILFORD! 

Jeep and I were invited to speak at Escalante's Stake Girls' Camp.  It was a spiritual experience, and cousin Jessica now owes us a favor - ha ha.

The kids got to stay at the cabin again, and they had a blast.

I set a goal this summer to run the Bryce Canyon Half Marathon, and I did it.  Jeep and my family were so supportive, and even though it was hard, it felt incredible to succeed, run, and crush my goal.  

The cabin has quickly become one of our favorite places.

I had the chance to take some of our student leaders to the Dixie Leadership Conference again.  They learned a lot and were such great kids! (l to r: Evan Y., MahLee L., Emily B., Elena Y., and me)

We had an unexpected trip to California to see Koda put in as BISHOP.  We stopped at Reno and had a great time.

The kids had a blast at Scheels - so much fun!

More fun at Scheels!

Outlet stores in Reno with Daezia.

Reno Temple - so beautiful!

We got to go to the beach, and we loved it! We even took some more family pictures (Check out our next post). P.S. I sure love these parents of mine.

So proud of this brother of mine.

We were in charge of the Fisher Family Reunion this year.  We held it at Kent's Lake, where my Grandpa Fisher proposed to Grandma.  It was wonderful to see cousins and spend some time with them.  I sure love the legacy of love they left with us.

Kiana, Kinley, and cousin Melanie playing games. 

We went to the Shakespearean Festival this year and saw Mary Poppins. It was very entertaining!

We went and wished cousin Amber a good-bye before she headed to college in Oregon, where she got a scholarship to play soccer.  We're so proud and excited for her!

Our last HOO-RAH of the summer was a trip to Logan.  We especially love the aquatic center there.

Logan is pretty, and I love hanging out with this guy.

One of our favorite things is going to the gym at USU.

More gym fun - Kin as a gymnast!

Our cute family at the reservoir.

Our kids with our favorite Logan peeps!

June 2016

With Summer in full swing, the Spauldings stayed busy but had fun!

Kinley took some pictures for our Shaved Ice Shack for our instagram and facebook accounts.  She did a great job!

Another one: it looks delicious!

Stockton enjoyed our annual Memorial Day Barbecue.

Fun pic with my oldest and youngest.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE PERSON IN THE WORLD!   I sure am very thankful Jeep was born and that he makes me happy each day.  He puts up with me and loves me no matter what!  I love him so much!

Charis and I go way back! It was great to have dinner with her! 

Trex played machine pitch this year.  He learned a lot and had fun. 

Tay impressed everyone with her hitting and throwing skills this year in softball.

Daezia made the huge decision to attend the temple, and it was a beautiful day.  I love her, and I am so proud of the woman she has become.

Temple siblings!

I love that Lindsey lives in St. George.  It's always good to visit with her.

2016 Trek to Wyoming

We had the great experience to go on a Pioneer Trek in Wyoming.  It was very full of the spirit and one we will never forget. 

Sister's Pic: Trek-style

Pioneer games - Kin is a cutie.

Pioneer games - Evan and Jeep broke the pull stick.

Gold medal in the 1600m!

We love Olivia and Dalaki! 

Happy Father's Day to the best guy around!  I sure picked a great one for these kiddoes.  He is so caring, patient, and kind.  We love him so much! 

I LOVE JEEP!

Kiana took some pics of shaved ice too.  What a cute model!

Temple time!

We had fun at the Canyon Park with Aunt Daezia.

Kiana and Nisha at Mammoth Creek.

Tay and Kin rocked at the Balloon Festival 5k in Panguitch.  Kin got 2nd overall,

BUFF CHICKS OF 46: I was reunited with 5 of my 6 original roommates.  It was so great to see them and hang our with them in Panguitch.  We definitely want to make this a tradition!

The wind was too much for the balloons to go up, but the cotton candy helped to comfort me.

This year I coached Kam's coach-pitch team (with lots of help).  We had an adorable team, and it was great to see them improve from beginning to end. (l to r: Kam S., Sebastian M., Wyatt D., Miguel C., Jessi T., Sophia C., and Marley M.)

Jeep went to Denver for a week - boo!  Good thing we now have FaceTime!

4-H Camp was a success!  Whytney S. and Harley T. camped with us.

Kin was on Teen Council and loved it.

Kam loved camp too - here is his Jedi certificate.

Trex's favorite part was definitely the canoeing. 

Camping snap shots!
