Beware: Lots of pictures :)

Last week first started out with us riding our bikes EVERYWHERE! We love it! One day for Family Home Evening we biked to the park and read. From there we biked all night long. I think it's more fun riding in the dark - until I got my flat tire:) Oh well, it was worth it!

Here are some pics of what we saw on the our little excursion:

Biking through the green trees! (photo taken while on my bike-not too bad if I say so myself:)

Then we had a pary at our place on Tuesday! We first played "Ticket to Ride"- which was a great game-and then later in the evening we played "Headbanz". It was such a fun night spent with close friends!

Kenny in deep thought. If any of you know Kenny, you can only imagine how much fun the game of "Headbanz" would be playing with him :)

Love this picture of the two of them!

We were out of headbanz so Oli had an alternative... haha oh heck. I love that boy!

Then on Friday we went down to visit my family.

I was able to spend time with this cute little one...

Look at those gorgeous blue eyes!

Looking up at Aunt Sofia

Baby Aniston is such a happy baby and so fun to play with!

Then that night we went to the Henefer ping-pong tournament. They literally had brackets and an actual trophy. Haha oh it cracked me up! There is always a sporting event in Henefer for anyone who is willing to compete :)

Nevertheless it really is a good way to bring the community out to have some fun! (Thanks to Diana for being taking these pictures for us :)

Daniel and .... I don't know his name to be honest

Oli and Mckay

Then for the championship, we all circled around the single ping-pong table and watched them fight for the winning title of the "Swamp Tourney Champion". What a title :)

We had a blast!

Then that night our family played "Headbanz". (As you can tell we love headbanz :) I laughed so hard throughout the whole game! It was hilarious seeing everyone try guessing who they were. (Mom and Dad especially!) We stayed up until the wee hours of the night just a partying :)

Then on Saturday we went to the Geary's and had an awesome Lost Finale party!

Doug ordered a Dharma party kit! Any of you Lost fans would know what Dharma means.. it was so fun to have other "Lostees" excited for the finale!

Getting ready for the party

Doug and Louette prepared such great food for the party!

Dantzel made this awesome Dharma cake!

We watched these beautiful humming birds outside on the patio

Then we got to spend time with these cuties!

Baby Nya has gotten soo big! Her hair is so fun to play with :)

I love this picture of Oli and Jack

The two boys with their balloons :)

Grandma Gen looking beautiful holding baby Nya

What a smile :)

Oh these two are so fun!

Buying some time before the Lost finale by playing cards of course :)

And then....

It was so awesome! I am sad to see such a great show be finished- nevertheless it was a great way to end it! Anyone who hasn't seen Lost- I would highly recommend it! (But you have to start from the beginning or else it will seem more crazy then it really is :)

Oli and I transplanted our strawberries this last Monday into our cute pot

Then on Tuesday we went out to Second Dam and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I truly love summer and being able to read, relax, and spend time with Oli outdoors.

Like our new ride? :)

Too bad it's only temporary... we love White Fang (our buick), but we can't help but be seduced by the awesome subaru. :) Thanks to Doug and Louette for loaning it to us for the week while White Fang gets it's anual check-up.

It truly was beautiful outside! I keep getting asked at work from people out- of- state if we ever get enough of "these amazing mountains". Nope, not at all! :)

Oli posing for the camera! What a stud.

And of course he is having to climb anything and everything...

This was our sweet secluded spot. We loved it!

On our way back, this is what Oli so kindly told me was right next to me. I didn't know I could jump so high! Snakes are ok to watch from far.. and that's it :)

Our beautiful view on our hike.

Have a great weekend!
