Happy Together

I love being at the temple with my sweetheart!

Sunburned Lovells

This family photo was taken at the wedding reception of Jeff's brother, in July. We were having so much fun with photos and such after the beautiful ceremony in Manti Utah, that we hadn't noticed the scorching rays of the sun until it was too late. Oh well! It was a beautiful, happy day, and we were so grateful that we were able to be there for brother John's special day. Congrats to John & Amy!

Summer Campers

Everyone in our family got sick the week of this camp out. Goldie and Didi, and Mom & Dad all got through with our illness before we got to the campsite, but Tootie and Shark suffered while we were there. It was a rough time, but isn't "roughing it" supposed to be part of camping? We had a nice time anyway, especially visiting with Jazz's family in the beautiful setting--the scenery in the redwoods was beautiful.

We Finally Made it to the Fair

We had a great time at the County Fair. We spent big bucks to go on very few rides and eat a bit of cotton candy and popcorn, and unfortunately didn't discover until we were tired all of the many cool free things to participate in (the art exhibits, the livestock, etc.), but we had a great time. The kids were amazed by the magic show and the trick dogs, and were happy to all go home with a few cheap stuffed animals (from the "everyone wins a prize" games). Next year I think we'll start with the free activities, and then get them tired before we go to the rides, so that maybe it won't cost so much (yeah, as if that would work!).
