JULY HAS COME & GONE...but NOT without FUN!!!

So what do you all do in the Summertime! The whole month of June was filled with rain and cold weather so when we finally got sunshine and heat we have been living it up! The following pics show some of our thrills and adventures during July!

One of the biggest thrills for Ron was to finally witness hummingbirds enjoying his feeder he put out for them LAST year!

Watching Ethan & Ashley (6 months pregnant) play softball was a lot of fun. A big thrill for us was to see Ethan hit & home-run!!!!

A huge thrill and accomplishment for Maddie was turning 17 and jumping off the highest platform at LAVA hot springs! The above picture is after she did it and the pic below was taken as she was about to take flight as her friends cheered her on!

WAY TO GO MADDIE!

I am so thankful that Maddie has such great friends. 2 Carloads of her friends went to spend the day at Lava Hot Springs for her BDay celebration! 2 cars, 2 coolers, lots of snacks + kids = a great summer afternoon!

Even the drive home was beautiful!

The 3 of us made the drive to the Anderson reunion down in Utah. Lots of kids, laughter and food and to really make everyone HAPPY.....LAGOON!

I even pulled out "Singing Sam" for Primary Time with all the grandkids.

Brett (Boom) & Aubrey and Jay were not there...so this pics for you Bford!!!

Laguna Beach was a lifesaver in the 100 degree heat, especially for an expectant Ash.

Jaxon, Megan & Courtney weren't there either so we took a spin on the Samurai for you guys!!!


Ron's stomach doesn't agree with rides and so I rode on some with Maddie and guess what.....I found my tummy doesn't agree either!!! Another successful Anderson Reunion!

Another very hot summer day Maddie and I met Megan & Courtney at Rigby Lake to cool off.

We think that Maddie is going to be trouble when she has kids some day!!!!

Sun, sand, water and mom...doesn't get any better then that!!!

And our latest body of water we played in was Heise Hot Springs. Lots of fun again with Maddie and 2 carloads of friends, but this time one of MY friends (Gale Willmore)went as well.

Well, August is just around the corner so we plan to fill our days even more full. The first annual Ron & Jill Anderson Family Reunion
is about to commence. So looking forward to seeing the Richardson from California but forever mindful of our Missionary in North Carolina.
Love your guts Tanner!!!!!!!!!!
