Timpanogos Cave

 Somehow my friend Kathy convinced me that it would be a good idea to hike up to Timp cave.  Remember the last time I did that?  Let me refresh your memory:

Yep, I hated it that bad, but I decided to give it another try.

 Lila hung out with Savana most of the way up.

 All of our cute girls.

 And Jack.

We finally made it to the top.

So, these are my thought on hiking to the cave:  It wasn't nearly as bad as I remember.  Dare I say, I actually enjoyed it?!?!?  I might even do it again.

Griffin's Party

 Opening his card from Mok and Pok.  He was super excited to get mail of his own.

 I made G a monkey cake (although I know it looks like a bear :)  He loved it, I was pleasantly surprised with it, because I didn't have high expectations. 

We had G's party on the day Uncle B.J. flew in from Florida (yep, these are pictures from July that I am just now blogging)

Uncle Goshy was there too :)

Nana came to celebrate and brought Griffin some super cute presents, including his very own scooter.

G got so many cool gifts from everyone.  He loved everything.  Thanks Mom and Dad, Nana, B.J., Joshy and Jess, and of course, Mok and Pok:)

3 Year Check Up

Griffin had his three year old check up today.  He did great, but that is not surprising because he loves going to the doctor.  All my kids do...a little strange, but they do have a great doctor.

Gman's stats are :

Height:  40 inches -  95%

Weight:  37 1/2 pounds - 92%

BMI:  16.47 - 65%

He is definitely a Mikel through and through.  We are taking bets now on his football career...Alabama or BYU?

Sunny's Baptism

My Sunny is getting baptized.  I made these invites and should be getting them mailed out this week.  Just in case I procrastinate (not that I would ever do that :), or in case I miss anyone...consider yourself invited.  

Tennis Lessons

 I signed Sunny up for tennis lessons this summer with her good friend M.  They had a great time.  This was Sunny posing before her first lesson.

 She couldn't resist a dance pose.

She really reminds me of Aunt Terry in this picture.

  Sunny really enjoyed tennis and found out that she is really talented at serving.  Next year she wants to take lessons for 2 weeks instead of just 1.  Maybe we have a little tennis star in the making.

Lazy Days

We have spent many days this summer playing out in the front yard. I love to watch my kids play with all their friends.  I can't believe this is our last week of vacation!

The Lake -- Part 1

 There is a super cute little man made lake near my Mom's house.  We have gone there several times this summer and the kids love it. (Hence the reason for The Lake part 1 and part 2)  We just have lots of pictures and they are all adorable.

 I love how Griffin loads himself up with gear.  He should definitely float!

Cameron really liked it, but he got nasty crawling around in all that sand.  I am still finding sand in my car and in my washer and dryer.
