Laiklie FSY

This year was our stakes turn to attend FSY. Laiklie got to go up to BYU-Idaho with her friend Kenlee from our ward. They were a little hesitant, but they had absolutely the best week! I kept hearing how much fun they were having, and how much they were learning and growing. I am so grateful she had the opportunity to go, and the chance to fill the spirit while there. Seriously, such a great thing for our youth to be a part of!  

Mesa Falls

Ryan and I took Rhett and Laiklie on a Sunday afternoon drive up to Mesa Falls. The day was beautiful and the Falls were absolutely gorgeous! It was so fun to spend a couple hours with just the two of them. We stopped at the Ashton cemetery to see their Hawkins great grandparents on our way home and then stopped in to see their great grandpa Max in Wilford. It was such a great way to spend our Sabbath afternoon.

Spanish Fork Rodeo

Laiklie had a BYU volleyball camp the same weekend as Spanish Forks rodeo. Oakley bought tickets for all of us since she knew we would be down there. It was so fun to go to the rodeo together! Jax loved the horses and the motorcycles they brought in as an intermission. It was such a fun…HOT… Night together!

Building Bins

Ryan, Rhett and Laiklie built bins all summer. I swear it was the longest summer of their lives! The kids were definitely ready to be done by the end of the season. Laiklie got to be their main welder and tagged along with the guys. Rhett absolutely hated it, but he’s tall and strong and great help on the crew!

Piggyback Augers

This summer Ryan and I delivered several augers. On one of our trips over to Boise, we had to deliver two. We ended up pulling them piggyback style. I didn’t even know you could do that! Such a crazy long load to have two augers behind the truck!

 

Phelps Lake

On one of the weekends Oakley was in Idaho, her and Rhett drove up to Grand Teton National Park and hiked into Phelps Lake. They didn’t do the full loop. They just hiked to jumping rock. It took them a little while to convince themselves to jump, but had a great time when they did! Then hiked back out. I was jealous I couldn’t go with them. Next time! 

 

Oakley & Macady Photo Shoot

While Oakley was here in July, Rhett did a photo shoot of Oakley, Macady and their little babies. The pictures turned out gorgeous! It’s so fun to see our babies become mamas of their own babies.
