JULY

July was a whirlwind! We entered July at a Micheli family reunion where the kids had a great time swimming, playing on the beach, boating, and going on nature walks with cousins all around the campground. Tony and I had fun too. We just love getting together with all his siblings and their spouses, and the tube riding behind the boat was a blast too! (Tony missed out on that, though, since he had broken a couple ribs earlier in the week and was still experiencing pain from even sneezing! Bummer.)


From there, Tony went home for a day while the kids and I caught a 4th of July parade in Perry, UT, with cousins before heading off to a Teichert family reunion. I forgot to take pictures there-oops!-too busy catching up with all my cousins.

After the reunions, I worked my head off at home for two days (one in the house, one in the yard and garden) so that we could go enjoy another day at Seven Peaks, where I actually got a couple pictures of my water baby, Mariah, this time.

The next week was the first of two volleyball camps for me. I still love coaching immensely, and hope I can keep doing it for a long, long time. During the first camp, which was here in MV, Livi came and babysat my girls. They had such a fun week of dress-up, make-up, and dancing. One night we went out and had a hot dog roast and horseback rides. It was a fun night, and Livi took some super cute pics of my kids that I just have to post.

After getting home from the second volleyball camp, which was in Greeley, CO, I had a day to regroup, do some laundry, and then it was off to ALASKA for a wonderful two weeks, of which I will blog about someday (hopefully someday soon!)
