Clay & Em

It's always bitter sweet, the close of summer that is. I love the summer time...sunshine, swimming, outdoor activities etc. but all fun things must come to an end.

As I get older my summers are not separated by school years, so they kind of run together. It is no longer the summer before my junior year....it is just "that one summer". This summer however, has been tons of fun.

I went to Bear Lake for the first time for Clayton's family reunion. It was fun to be with his entire family and see how nice they are all together. They are such genuinely nice people!
I love his nieces and nephews! I must say I try not to have my favorites, but I just cant help it. This is Emily and Emily. She is the cutest thing ever (not me but baby Emily)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She has down syndrome, and it makes her even cuter!

Clayton and I had the coolest tent there!!! Three room dome tent, condominium style. We had fun playing with the kids and playing frisbe. I was introduced to several of their fmaily traditions including a "dance" on Saturday night. Kind of seems wierd to have a dance with your family--but it was mostly kids just dancing and having fun.

Clayton and I have been to a couple of derbies too. LOVE them. Who would have guessed that such white trash people would have come up with such a great sport! Are derbies a sport???? We dont have actual pictures, but you get the idea.

Clayton has also been having fun this summer with his band. You can visit thier site at http://www.myspace.com/civildifference. I love being a groupie! Not really a "groupie" per say, but I just love watching them play!

Clayton & I also enjoyed a few parades. My family is always in them, and yes, that Santa Claus driving the tractor in a hawaiian shirt is my Dad!

My sister Sheryl and her husband Jason were married in the Logan temple. She just had her second baby (his name is Gage) and those pictures are soon to come!
