July activities.....

July we kept busy with Halle encouraging her dad to have a Daddy Daughter campout up at Grandpa niel's property. Halle is going to be by fighter or equality! She asked Ryan why do you go on all these Father's and Son's campouts and not with your girls. So Ryan made sure that she had a campout with him. He invited the neighborhood up to the property and they had a fun night painting their dad's toes and watching a Barbie movie and playing in the creek! Pictures to come. But before that campout we had a friday day to kill so me and the girls had to go tryout the riding animals at the mall and they had a blast! The next morning on Saturday was our Ward party with the kids parade. The girls had fun decorating their bike and rollarblades. The primary kids all did a great job. This weekend the boys were also gone with Grandpa Averett down in Fairview camping and fishing. My dad was awesome and took them down fri and sat to camp over in the back of his truck and get in some fishing and the boys took a raft that my dad said they spent a lot of time out on the lake. Prayers were answered for Treven and he got a fish and was telling me he was getting really mad that he hadn't caught anything but when he did he told me that him and grandpa were both praying! And he did it and brought us home and fish!

 Tyler's City State Basball Tournement that took up the 3rd week in July. It was a lot of baseball but a lot of fun watching Tyler and his team take 2nd. Uncle Steve did a great job and Easton was playing also so we got to support Easton too! It was a hot weekend but the kids survived but I did end up spending a lot of money at the snack shack!

July was a busy month trying to get Tyler's eagle project done. Tyler decieded to earn money for the New Austic school that is opening this fall that our neighbor Jessica helped bring down to Utah County. He wanted to buy sporting equipment for the school and so to earn the money he was going to host a yard sale. Well our ward was so supported and we had a ton of stuff to sale. We did have a wonderful FHE getting stuff organized.

July has been hot so we have been out to Utah lake cooling off this month! Tyler is trying to master the wake skate while Treven has gotten brave this year and has gotten up once but still likes tubing while Halle loves kneeboarding and Emery depends on the day if tubing is her thing or not!

The day after Tylers last baseball day it was time for the Eagle project yard sale. We held it down at Niels office on Saturday and boy did the young men come to help. Along with my dad, Ryan, Julie, Janette, and my mom we would have never have gotten it done! Steve and Easton came and help too and it made the day go by much smoother with everyone! Tyler did awesome! His goal was $400 but with the yard sale and donations he made over $1,000. The boys worked had and played hard! They loved trying on some of the um items.

We had Jackson stay with us for a day so I took the kids along with him and Tyler's friend Kyle up to Boondocks to have some fun on a hot Monday afternoon.
