Last week of July

 Here are some highlights from the last week of July.

It's been SUPER HOT this whole week!

On Monday, July 24th, we went over to LuDean's/Diane's place for dinner and to celebrate the 24th of July, when the pioneer's entered the Utah Valley.  After dinner LuDean shared family history of her great grandfather Daniel Wood.

Cute Hudson after eating some Nutella.  Later sprawled out during his nap.  Cool sunset colors.

Hudson got to participate in the Little Tikes marital arts class just for fun.

On Saturday, we went over to a park for a birthday party for Clay Evans (our neighbor's son) who is turning 8.  The kids brought their scooters and skated at the park, had snow cones, had pizza, then sang Happy Birthday and got cupcakes. It was SUPER HOT already at 10am, but the kids still had fun!

Carter showing us his scooter skills :)

After the birthday party we went home and put Hudson down for a nap.  Steve and I then ran over to the Jordan River Temple and did sealings together (the Draper Temple is closed for cleaning).  There was only 1 other man in our session, and his back was really hurting, so Steve did most of the work :)  We made it back home in time just before Hudson woke up!  It was great to go together and especially to do sealings in the temple we were married in. 

Our volunteer tree is definitely growing!  Nyles had another tooth pulled since in order to make room for the one underneath it coming in.  Pretty flowers.  At the Jordan River Temple after doing sealings.

Later that day playing w/ water balloons to cool off!

Sunday we had the missionaries over for dinner.  After we went up to Silver Lake to enjoy the cooler weather.  They closed half of the boardwalk in order to replace it, so it was a little more crowded than normal, but it was still great to get out and enjoy the beauty!

Beautiful Silver Lake up Big Cottonwood Canyon!

Pretty flowers.  A deer crossed the path.  Some clouds made it overcast, which was nice.

So amazing! Nyles and Carter climbed around to the top of a rock wall.  Cute chipmunk.

We even had a pretty sunset on the drive down.

Great quote.
