Aaron, Chantel and the Jenkins kids: July 2013

Shelby made the Surf NPL team!!!!

Congratulations to Shelby!!!

She tried out on the 15th for a National Premiere League (NPL) soccer team for her Surf club and was invited to be part of the team. She will be doing her regular club games and the NPL games this spring. We are so proud of her. She is a little stressed about the schedules and getting her homework done, but it's a wonderful opportunity.

It's Baseball Season

We love going to the SLC Bees games in the summer. We took the opportunity to take the kids over the 4th of July weekend. One of the draws was the fireworks show after the game. We sat on the grass and let the kids roll down the hill while we watched the game.

Bailey went to give Bumble a hug and he signed her forehead!

My kids have a fascination with cotton candy beards and mustaches

Gretchen got marked as well

Fireworks!!

Summer Vacation

Our summer has been pretty busy. Shelby is working out daily with the High School Soccer and High School Basketball teams. She has attended soccer camp, EFY at UVU and two basketball tournaments. Gretchen and Bailey are still doing gymnastics and Gretchen will be doing a soccer tournament in August.

We took a week and went up to Island Park to see Yellowstone, ride 4-wheelers and veg. As usual, it was a great time. Aaron and I have been looking for a cabin of our own. It's always fun to look at them and think about possibilities. One of these days we'll be able to take that leap and get one of our own. In the mean time, we are happy to stay at the family cabin.

The weather was pretty chilly, compared to the heat wave we were having at home. Luckily our garden survived and our chickens were healthy when we got back.

I have a few photos from our trip to share.

Taken at the bottom of the Tower trail in Yellowstone. The trail has been modified so you can't see the falls, but the hike was still fun and provided a great view of the Yellowstone river.
