Mess!

Posted by Mayke in Tessa on September 28, 2011

Tessa just walked up to me saying “Mess”.

Then she ran to the kitchen, got a towel out of the drawer, ran back to the couch where she was sitting, and “cleaned” up the dry cereal she had spilled.

Good girl!

Some of the things we did in August…

Posted by Mayke in Family, Mayke, Take A Hike, Tessa, Travel Bug, Trevor, Will on September 27, 2011

– A 4-wheel drive day trip to Cascade Springs

As you can see in the upper left picture, Will and Tessa were really excited for this. It was a nice drive though!

– Hiking Timpanooke

One date night Trevor and I hiked part of the Timpanooke trail. We got a late start and we had to turn around at the Giant Staircase and still hiked most of the way down in the dark. But we did see a moose and some deer.

– Sundance

We had some time to kill one afternoon while in town, so I took the kids up to Sundance. We walked around for a bit, ate a snack and drove back to town. The temperature in the canyon was a lot nicer than in the valley.

– Another Belt Promotion for Will

Brown-Orange!

– Our trip to Lake Powell

Which has its own post.

– And some random pics of the kids

Ready for the sun!

Some of the things we did in June…

Posted by Mayke in Family, Tessa, Will on September 26, 2011

Still working on catching up from the summer!

– Swimming lessons for Will

– Belt Promotion at Karate for Will

His brown belt!

– Swimming at Seven Peaks

– Sword Camp at Karate

I didn’t get any good pictures of Will using his sword, unfortunately. But he did well enough to earn another belt, his second in 2-weeks time!

– Pinewood Derby at Scouts

Will’s car got a few first and second places, but ended up in fourth place overall. Together with Trevor he spent a few evenings working very hard on his skeleton car.

– Johnson Family Reunion

I took Tessa to Kris’ family reunion. She had fun playing with all the toys they had there. Since they had held a reunion last year as well, it wasn’t as busy this time. It was still good to hang out with everyone who did come.

– More swimming lessons for Will

Will has done so well this summer. He was able to go to the next class up. His favorite thing: Survival Float. Nothing better than just laying in the water!
