Mom and Dad's Montana/Idaho Adventures

Mom and Dad came over to Idaho/Montana to see Cameron in the shows at the Playmill this summer, and so that Dad could continue his passion for racing. He raced in the Rush Triathalon in Rexburg and ran the half Mesa Falls Marathon in Ashton. They spent the week outside of West Yellowstone at a friends cabin, each night attending one of the three shows at the Playmill: Guys and Dolls, The Secret Garden, and Footloose. Here are some pics:

Chase's Wedding

Chase and Shyla got married on July 25th in the Portland Temple. Mom's brother Uncle Rick and his family came down from Seattle and Dad's brother Scott and his wife Jeri came from Salt Lake for the wedding. Grandma Mom came from Arizona. Each of the siblings were able to get away from work and come to the wedding as well.

We are always looking for a good time when we are together. After the endowment session we went on a jetboat ride down the Willamette River in Portland it was a lot of fun, even though we came back soaking wet.




Jordan even got Grandma to jump on the trampoline in the back yard. Being the hottest week of the summer, with temperatures over 100 degrees, one or two waterfights also broke out. It was a fun week for everyone. Can't wait until we all get back together again!
