4th of July

We spent the 4th of July avoiding the crowds and hanging out at Grandpa Kaz' house. Layton city truly does an amazing job.

Swimming at Heidi's mom's

7-1-10
We spent the majority of the summer swimming w/friends, and Heidi's mom's pool turned out to be our favorite. It was nice to have a fenced in area that was free, and the company was always fantastic.

Paul's Retirement Party

6-30-10
My Uncle Paul finally retired, and the kids had a blast playing at the Kaysville Fire Station. I was amazed by how nice all of the firemen were. They let the kids climb all over the trucks.

UT Arts Festival

6-27-10
We had a fun day hanging out at the UT Arts Festival
w/Ashlee, Aidan, & Eli.
Maiki's favorite part was getting her face painted (the 2nd time. . . the first time was a total flop) like Hello Kitty.

Lagoon w/Ry

6-28-10
While Ryan was on leave we took all the kids to Lagoon.
(This was the horrible day that Maiki ran away, and told us, "I LOVE strangers.")

Dance Recital

6-14-10

Maiki is the 2nd one from the left. Why put the two goofballs next to eachother? It's amazing how much toddlers mirror other behavior. (The girls in this class were between 3 and 6 years old.)

Dad's Work and Golfing

6-12-10
Fidelity is a very high security company, and they only let nonemployees in once a year. Every summer they host an annual event where they cater to the little kids. Maiki loved playing at Chris' desk, getting a name badge, and a free book.

I guess we've been really busy this year because this is the least that we've golfed in the past five years. Maiki got new golf clubs for Christmas and finally got to try them out at the driving range. (She also took a break to serenade the entire driving range, and enjoy the wonderful echo.)
