Artsie Fartsie

The kiddos (and me) love to create art!

It was not question that we wanted to do some

craft / art projects this summer.

So we explored on Pintrest and picked a few we 

wanted to do & headed to 

Hobby Lobby.

The trick now is to stretch them over the summer

rather that do them all in the first few weeks.

We will add more pics to this post throughout the summer

Behold our summer art:

Time Well Invested

Our family enjoys volunteering when we can.

Especially when we get a chance to do something for our community!

 The GOAL Foundation 

has some amazing opportunities to enrich our
lives with service for our very own

O-TOWN!

The GOAL foundation has a stellar appreciation party for 

ALL of their volunteers at the 

Front Climbing Gym that is catered by local 

restaurants and brewery!

!!! GET OUT AND LIVE !!!

Thank you

G.O.A.L Fondation

 for experiences that allow us to enrich our lives

and the lives of those in our community!

Also the party totally "Rocked"

Breaking in the new Air Chair!

John's been raving about an air-chair

since we started Christmas in July at Lake Powell 3 years ago.

Well, good things come to those who wait...

and to sweeten the ride, fam got it for a sweet ass deal!

So a break-in ride was a MUST prior to Powell

They did pretty damn good for their first "rodeo"

The kids did not weigh enough for the chair

but they still had fun

We may or may not have put the FUN in

Sunday-FUNday!

SUP Break'n In

Oh how I've longed for a Standup Paddle Board for some time.  

We decided to invest in two of them for our family back in January- JANUARY!  

They sat in my garage for 6 months until it was warm enough to take em' for a dip. 

It was well worth the wait!

The kids, dog & I loaded up and hit the road bound for 

Causey Reservoir& it was 

SPECTACULAR!

The kids,

Jack & I

Had SO much fun!

I have not been there since I was a kid & I somehow had forgotten it's beauty.

Truly my new happy place!

Spent with my kiddos!

Autumn has set the goal to do a headstand on her SUP 

before summers end- I think she'll nail it!

I even had the pleasure of sharing an unexpected cold brewski with the 

GOAL crew

The highlight for me was how much my furry baby loved

his time in the water- he was pain free and young,

even if only for a few hours!

I felt so at peace here, no boats, no phones, just peace,

nature, water and my loves!
