SUMMER 2026 Bucket List

Image
 I came up with a summer bucket list with Brittany and the tinys (Saleima, Metuli, Salani). Some things were just my goals; some were for all of us. Either way, it was a great summer! BUCKET LIST 1. Read More Books (Me) ✅ Okay but this goal was one that I was super proud of. I've wanted to get back into reading so I made it a goal to read more books this ummer. I am proud to say I exceeded my expectations lol The last book (We Were the Lucky Ones) especially was a pretty thick book and even I doubted if I would get through it. All three books were awesome reads! I'm happy to be getting back into reading.  2. Sew Something (Me) ☒ Never happened lol 3. Crochet Something   ✅ - Saleima took the cake on this!

We have a great ward and ward camp is definitely one of those events that brings us even closer.  Our camp was at Spanish Oaks Campgrounds in Spanish Fork. The grounds were super nice. There was a reservoir for kids to enjoy swimming and fishing. The views were beautiful and we lucked out with great weather! Ward Camp Gallery July 7 - Happy 39th Birthday to Me! I chose to go to work lol I was still physically tired and recovering from Ward camp but wanted to get in and make sure I didn't have soo many things to catch up on since being off from work. Plus I just needed something calm and my office was that for me.  Aljay and the four youngest came over and brought me cake and ice cream, which I shared with my coworkers. Then I got off ...

June 1 -6 FSY For Leila and Sefa Aljay and I drove down to Ephraim, UT for our kids FSY session at Snow College. Eva and Malaki Lesa are from our ward and roomies with Leila and Sefa. So glad they have friends in their company. As a bonus, so many others from our stake and ward were at this session as well! So they didn't feel alone. We learned from Leila's first FSY that going with friends makes a big difference. This is Sefa's first FSY and Leila's 2nd.  Aljay and I also stopped by to see the new Ephraim temple! We thought it was a mosque at first lol.  Random photos--  June 2 - 6 Vineyard Days In Utah, serveral of the cities have their own summer city celebration.
