After preparing all morning, we finally made it to Cooney for

some boating & camping fun!  

Woo Hoo!

Silly Faces!

The cool kids

This little guy had a blast playing in & around the shoreline

But he thought his life was over on this tube ride...

we were going slightly over 10 mph.

These two were pretty conservative also!

They still had fun though.

Cade was long gone with the big boys most of the time so I'm still
waiting for some pictures from them of his wakeboarding skills.

Kids in Horse Heaven

Cade's #1 request for summer was to ride a horse.

Becca's sweet friend let us come to her mountain home for lunch

& was so nice to let us way overstay our welcome.

The kids & the moms loved everything about this place!

These two always have a blast together!

So glad these girls have each other...

& check out that huge log home the family built in the background!

Breezers & Brookies

Couldn't pass up a selfie with these cuties while riding a horse!

 Bree & the cat the kids mauled all day!

Poor thing was a trooper!!

The pool was a hit & the perfect thing to do while waiting for a turn on the horses.  
It was a warm one today!

We are immensely blessed by the generosity of friends and family.

Thanks for this cherished memory Nelson family!

Yee Haw!

Bree's fun didn't end there...
She got to tag along with the Frans to their cousin's house in 
Lovell, WY to experience a little archery & a real live hedgehog.

Temple Tuesday & Boys Shopping Day 

How adorable are these four?

The lunch saga begins! We started at Steak & Shake...

with the cutest boys on the planet!  But the restuarant had some serious 
issues so we finally left and tried a new place that has burgers & fries.

We ended up at Fuddruckers & 2 hours later 

with full tummies, all was finally right in the world.

When we got home the girls had soothing music playing for their own in-house spa.  
Wowsers!

Shopped 'til We Dropped

We were really close to getting these shoes...
he he

Every year we look forward to back-to-school shopping days with the girls and then the boys!

Yay for no tax in Montana, great sales, & no crowds!

The girls found these matching shirts for just over $2.

On the road again!

 

It was a beautiful drive to Montana for Cousins Camp!

6th Annual Tomany Family 5K

(We missed you Grandma & Grandpa Tomany & all the Dads!)

 We designed the shirts this year...

It was a lot of fun!

 

Yum! Breakfast always tastes amazing after running a race!

 

Carrie & Meg came up with the route and a surprise after the run.

Here are all the kids walking over to discover it!

Splash Pad!  Perfect!

 

The Grandkids!

Top-oldest to youngest   Bottom-tallest to shortest

(yep, we're at the end of the line in the height picture!)

 I LOVE this tradition...
even if I did come in almost last place this year from carrying Cal most of the way ha ha :)

Today=Morning runs & hikes, playing in the river, & just loving our time together!

 

Breezer B, Mal, Sarah

 

 Two Margarets

 

 

If you look really close you can see our 3 boys (Cade, Malcolm, & J.R.)

at the top of that cliff left of the center!

 Aunt Carrie with her bestie, Prince Jasper (complete with the crown Abby made him)

 

Here's Cade pulling a sweet front flip off the rock into the cold river

Plans changed for tonight.  So we took a vote and the kids chose a games & prizes evening instead.

It was a blast!  Those dollar store finds came in very handy!

 

Our crew!  What a night!

Time for some memories with the Tomany Cousins!

Rope Swinging, Games, Dinner, Swings, & Hiking

 

We love coming up Blacksmith Fork Canyon!

 

 

 

Ahh...this is the life!

 

Time for bed!  Good luck settling this group of giggly girls down! 

I loved hearing them from the camper.  Sorry Tia Meg :)

 Friends!

They Got Their Brave On Today At Cottonwood Heights Pool

He Finally Got His Gainer off the Platforms!

This Guy Made it Off the High Dive!  Woo Hoo!

 Cutie Cousins!

 

 And...Blake had an epic fall attempting a double gainer off the 2nd platform!

Holy cow it was a huge scare because he passed out after he landed

& got the wind knocked out of him, but he walked away with just a sore tummy.  Phew!  Blessing. Grateful.
