CrAzy JuLy!!!

Sorry everyone for the blog overload, but July has been such a crazy busy month, so much to blog about! Both Tyler and me feel like we have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off! Oh well, busy is better than doing nothing (although nothing is sounding pretty tempting at the moment)! We started July off with the 4th and Logan throws a pretty good celebration! Logan did there fireworks Friday the 2nd and we just happen to have a straight on shot of the stadium from our back porch (Amazing!) so we invited some friends over for a BBQ and had so much fun! Saturday we went with Tyrell and Whitney to the Car Show and Cruisin'. Cruisin' is kind of like a parade, but with the cars from the show. Tons of people set their chairs up and down down-town main street and watch all the cool cars just cruise and show off. It was pretty fun! Monday we went again with Tyrell and Whitney on a hike up to the wind caves in Logan canyon, I LOVE HIKING! What a Blast!

Then we headed to Youth Conference July 8-10. YC turned out so good, but I can honestly say I would be ok if we never had to plan one again! The kids had a great time. We took them to Star Valley, Wyoming to do some service at a camp they are building for Down Syndrome kids and their families and all the kids just pitched right in to get things done. We did the service part on both Thursday and Friday and then on Saturday we took them rafting down the snake river. This was both me and Tylers second time going rafting and it was a blast. The river was freezing, but it was worth it!

We had this fun game of dodge ball in one of the fields! I had got those try-on nylons from payless and filled them with flour to use as balls for the game. It was so funny to watch those kids get pelted with flour!

By the end everyone was covered in flour! They thought that was so fun!

The next weekend we had the opportunity to go do baptisms for the dead at the Mt. Timp. temple for relatives on Tyler's moms side of the family. Kim, Tyler's sister, has been hard at work getting a ton of genealogy done so that was a wonderful experience to be apart of. Thanks Kim for all your hard work! Then comes the 24th of July! We always have our Fox Family(my moms side) reunion at the cabin this weekend. It is always a hoot! This year we did minute to win it games and it was hilarious! We ended up having all, but three family members there which is quite a feat since my grandparents had 10 children and then there is all the grandchildren and great- grandchildren, altogether there was 77 of us there. WOW! Here are some of the minute to win it games:

On top of all this Tyler is in a humanities class that has required him to go to 12 art event(most of them are plays) in 1 and 1/2 months so he has been trying to squeeze those in too. Luckily he has a friend in the class with him so we don't have to pay for both of us to go (can you see tyler going to a play by himself!), but I have been able to go to 2 with him, Guys and Dolls and 7 Brides for 7 Brothers, they were so fun. His last event is tomorrow and it is an Opera, haha, I wish I could go just to watch his face during it!
So as you can see we have been in a whirlwind this month, but it all has been such a blast to be apart of!
Hope all of your summers are going Great as well! Love ya!
