We soaked in some lake time the end of July and went a few times! The summer is flying by. We went water skiing with the Lorimers one morning, then headed to the Weilers lakehouse. I never could get up. I think I was looking too much at my feet and then was nervous with the Lorimers there. Haley and Elden got up though! And I think Lee as well? Actually can't remember now.....We'll have go to water skiing next summer a few times to get it down!
There was an awesome lightening storm too!
We headed up to PA for Katie's birthday celebration! We got to meet her boyfriend too. Fun seeing Shanna's wedding announcement on their fridge!
Wow, they've been some places!
Time for young women's camp! I was a camp specialist this year. I helped Caralee and Sofi with the first year girls. I didn't feel like I did much. Hopefully they call a Stake Camp Director next summer. With trek, they can use all the help!
Yummy eats at camp!
The young women that were youth camp directors did a great job.
I stopped in a couple times to see our ward and the young women. Casey was really sweet and brought me some chocolate!
Haley picked up cal for me at the airport. Everyone will be home this weekend for Shanna and Haley when they go through the temple for the first time!
This was hilarious.
One thing we did with the young women was a hike in St. Mary's Wilderness to the waterfall. We went with the first year campers.
With the ward!
The skeleton is ready for summer!
Nate came as well! Shanna showing him around Elkton for his first Virginia visit.
Lee, Elden and Cal were at camp with the young men. Looks like they had an awesome time.
Elden was able to be roommates with Spencer at FSY in June.
One night at camp I went home for the evening and painted for a few hours. I was surprising the kids with getting the laundry room done. Lee did a ton in there too. Not sure why more picutres aren't showing up. Maybe because I just took before photos? My first day of camp new carpet and vinyl went in the laundry room. It looks so much better in there! Lee put up new blinds too that are these fun wooden ones. I'm glad with how it turned out.
Friday morning we went to Mr. J's for breakfast. It was funny because we were talking about the perks of being in a small town and Nate was saying that it was small, but that we didn't really know anyone we had seen. Then in walks an aquaintance, Brandi and we had fun chatting. It was pretty funny.
Lee picked up Clark and Chloe from the airport that morning and met us at the Richmond Temple. It was really special being Shann and Haley's escort. Darrell, Stacie and Lena all met us there. I wish I could have gone to Kirsten and Alyssa's endowment, Ethan too. It just didn't work out well. People from the ward came as well which was also neat, Brittany, Sylvia, Teri, Andrew & Mindy, Shar...that's who I'm remembering righ tnow.
For Clark's birthday "lunch" we went to Riverside Lunch. Sadly it was a bit dissapointing this time. We treated everyone to lunch and that probably wasn't the best idea. Over $400. Gulp!
Their carrot cake was still good! The burgers were not that great this time.
The Ereksons came to our house adn spent the night and came to church the next day, then headed home. We had a lot of fun having them here. The older kids had a lot of fun together too. And we go to meet baby Caleb!!!
Clark's birthday is Monday, but we were able to celebrate on Sunday before he and Chloe left to go back to Utah. So awesome that they could come for such a short time! (Hard to pass up when the parents are buying your ticket though, haha.)

Not sure where we are going, but looks like a great drive!
Music and the Spoken Word I'm guessing!
Monday, on Clark's birthday, we all went to Smith Mountain Lake minus Lee, Clark and Chloe. Wish they could have all been with us! We're glad we had Nate along! Fun, relaxing day on the water.
Yes, Brennon was with us too!
Someone made this and I love it!
Shanna and I dropped off Nate at the airport. One and a half weeks till the wedding!
Time to make pies! We are catering for Shanna's reception, but she wants to have pies. She made all of the key lime pies and we both did the pumpkin and cranberry pies. We did 4 of each.
The cute invite for Shanna and Nate's wedding breakfast!
I think we happened to just get this photo from Grandma Robertson. Picture from Ely around the 4th!
Chloe's family was so nice to have a party for Clark. They are the best!
Temple morning!
Our new blinds in the laundry room! I really like them. This one was broken so we ordered a replacement. But I love the over all look.
Shanna working on her photo board for the reception.
It's turning out great!
Cal was able to do some paid work around the yard for us this summer. One was the nasty holly bush. Thanks Cal!!!
Date time with Lee!
More photo board progress! Cal and Shanna are both home for a couple weeks. Shanna finished her FSY work and Cal has just one more week at BYU.
We were able to get in another day at the Weiler's lake house! Michael's parents were in town and we joined them all at the lake. Super fun day!
