Taylor's first day of Kindergarten!

Taylor couldn't wait to ride his bike to school.  We woke up really early this morning, and got ready so that we would make it there on time.  I rode Jake's bike and pulling James and Keaton in the bike stroller behind me.  We were a little ways down the road when my chain fell off.   I got off and fixed it, then we started going a little ways, and my chain fell off again.  It happened three times.  I started to stress that my little boy was going to be late for his first day of school.  We were about three blocks away, I decided to leave the bike on the side of the road and run with the stroller the rest of the way.  When we got there I was struggling to get Keaton unhooked from the stroller, and then to get the bike lock hooked.   Luckily Taylor got there on time, he was still excited, and I got the bike fixed.    

You know how obsessed James gets with sports.  Well after watching the Olympics he had to try out this new sport he saw, Water Polo:)

We were able to spend some time with Jake's family in the month of July.  We hadn't seen Sarah and her kids, or Kelly and her kids in so long.  It was the first time we were able to meet Griffin and Marissa, and the first time they were able to meet Keaton.

We spent some time in Manti, and some time in Milford.

Grandma and Grandpa Elkins were there too. 

Marissa was the only little girl among all of those little boys.  It was kind of different to have someone there with bows and dresses. 

One day on our trip, we went to Cove Fort.

I am so glad we were able to see everyone.  It is hard to get everyone together now that so many of us are living in different states.

My little brother Caleb was married in the Manti temple on July 27.
