I'm catching up on blogs. Last week I posted the Chris and Lisa updates. This week it's Nate and Beth family.

I played tennis with Nate and Spence, Preston, Lauryn. We practiced hitting against the wall. Lauryn out of the blue told me, “My Dad is
not fat, he is large”.
Camden had his third birthday party which was pretty
amazing. He had a dinosaur cake and a
lot of great presents.
I went to Spencer’s swim meet at Cottonwood High
School. He did great, placing first and
third in two heats. He has improved his
swimming a great deal. When we were at
the Rec Center I raced with him and he killed me.
I took Spencer and Preston golfing at Swan Lake this
week. It was fun to see them hit the
ball. They got better throughout the
time we were there.
Sandy and I took Lauryn and Camden to the zoo. They were excited and enjoyed being
there. We saw the Elephant show, the
Bird show and the Nature show.
Lauryn asked us if we were “sad when my Dad moved out to
marry my mom?” She also told us that
Hawaii is “famous for potatoes”.
We Lauryn had a wonderful birthday party.

Last week we watched Spencer, Preston, Lauryn and Camden
while Beth took care of her Mother after surgery. We had a very enjoyable time with them. Friday morning we went to the Hill Air Force
Base Museum and afterwards I took Spencer and Preston swimming while Lauryn did
art with Sandy and Preston took a nap.
That evening we had dinner with Nate and the kids and with Brian and his
kids. Nate and the kids slept
overnight. Saturday morning Spencer and
Preston “played” tennis with me while Sandy watched Camden and Lauryn at the
playground. That evening we had a
wonderful cookout in Mueller Park with Nate and kids, Brian and kids and
Kaelynn/Matt kids. All the kids could
not stop laughing when Kaelynn told the story of “I got you where I want you
now I’m going to eat you”.
Nate and I took Spencer and Preston on a great backpacking
trip to Wall Lake in the Uintas. We
caught two nice brook trout, played “camoulflauge” , talked about foofing,
pooping and other scout-like stuff. On
the way back we stopped for hamburgers and milkshakes. They were a lot of fun
to be with and hope they have good memories.
Unfortunately, Brian and his kids nor Chris and his kids could come.
We had another picnic with the Nate and kids, Brian and
kids and Kaelynn and kids at Woodland Park.
We had some delicious sloppy joes and other. We had some contests: three-legged race, crab
walk and hopping races. Camden walked
around picking up sticks for the fire; Sarah hugged me and said that she missed
me; Jaimee thanked us and helped bring stuff to the car. It was a lovely evening.
