1. Attend the Tolman Reunion [done 6/22]
This was one of my favorite days this summer! We loved attending the reunion in Jerome at Kent & Sindy's home on Randy's ranch. It was the perfect combination of kids' activities and adult relaxation and good food! Plus, we got to spend the whole day with family members that we love!
2. Watch the boys' soccer games [completed 6/27]
The soccer season ended in June, and the 3 younger boys all played. They did a wonderful job and really grew in their soccer-playing abilities. It was enjoyable to watch them succeed at the sport that they love playing!
3. See Ammon compete in golf tournaments [completed 7/24]
Ammon competed in 3 regular tournaments in July in eastern Idaho, and a 2-day district tournament at the end of the season. He had several challenges that affected the scores in his game, but the final day of his last tournament, he played really well and got a great score and it was a good way to end the season!
4. Participate in cousins camp [done 6/15]
The boys had a great time spending a whole day and camping overnight with their Perkins girl cousins. They went swimming for hours at the Logan Aquatic Center, ate a nice BBQ dinner cooked by Mick, walked & played at a park down the road from their house, and slept in a backyard tent together.
5. Celebrate the 4th of July with the Tolmans [done 7/6]
Gideon & Alyssa and Malachi & Molly came up for the July 4th weekend, but Tiffany's family couldn't come this year. It was a 2-day event on Friday beginning with the parade. That weekend, we had a nice lunch outside, slid down on the homemade waterslide, played in the backyard, had our own exciting fireworks show, and watched the demolition derby on Saturday night.
6. Go camping somewhere new [done 8/12]
Every summer I like to go camping to one new spot. This year, we camped in tents (a FIRST for our whole family together) right outside Glacier National Park. It was definitely an adventure--and not something that I'd like to do again in the near future!!!
7. Visit Gma & Gpa Parsons in Montana [done 8/11]
We like to take our boys to visit one of their great-grandparents each year. This summer we went to Great Falls Montana to visit Josh's Grandma & Grandpa Parsons. We had a nice visit, a lovely dinner, and Grandma treated us to exquisite accommodations at a nearby hotel! It was an awesome trip to see them!
8. Vacation to Glacier National Park [done 8/13]
This was our one family vacation this summer. We went to this park last year too, but we saw different places and went to different locations this year. We were there for only two days/one night, but it felt like so much longer because we got so much done! There will be lots more info about this trip to come!
9. Josh golfing in leagues [completed 8/6]
For years, Josh has wanted to golf on the Tuesday night Men's League at the Salmon Valley Golf Course. He finally made that be a reality this year! He and I also golfed on the Couple's League on Friday nights like we have the past few years. He likes seeing his golf course through the eyes of a player instead of a Superintendent, and he {mostly} enjoyed playing on the leagues in the evenings!
10. Party for Kala's birthday [done 8/17]
My actual birthday wasn't a party at all--I had surgery and spent the afternoon/evening resting and recuperating. But for the following days after, I spent time with my friends and family and liked celebrating my special day for four days!
I love Fall; it's my favorite season. I love the sights and colors of harvest, I love the leaves falling and the Halloween decorations and the pumpkin patch selling days. I love the feeling of the cooler nights and the warmth of our home. And I'm looking forward to doing fun things with my family during this upcoming autumn season!
