FAMILY WALK

On our family walk the boys were being so cute with Madeline and swinging her up and down the sidewalk. When we rounded the corner to the Garlock house we ran into Grant and both Peter and Grant were wearing the same school shirt. We just had to stop and take a picture.
MADELINE IN THE SPLASH POOL
JULY 5, 2020
Grandma Anne bought a fun little splash pool for Madeline during our visit to Utah. She had so much fun in it almost every day that we were there.
HOME CHURCH WITH GRANDPARENTS
JULY 5, 2020
It was really fun to do home church with Grandma Anne and Grandpa Franz. Both of the boys were able to bless and pass the sacrament which was really special for my parents to watch. Grandpa even had real sacrament cups for us to use which was pretty awesome.
BYU ROOMMATES MINI REUNION
JULY 6, 2020
I was able to meet up with Becca, Melissa, and Brittany while I was in Utah. We went to Becca’s house and just talked for a few hours. It was nice to catch up with some of my BYU roommates even for a short time. Hopefully we can do it again next summer.
MADELINE AND GRANDPA & GRANDMA
JULY 7 & 9, 2020
Madeline loves spending time with her grandparents. On our visit to Orem I often found her on the bed watching something with Grandpa Franz or cuddling next to Grandma Anne. It was just the cutest thing.
SLEEPY PETE
JULY 9, 2020
After our hike up Mt. Timpanogos we were all pretty much destroyed. After Peter showered, he immediately fell asleep. I was not surprised at all considering how much this kid loves to sleep.
KELVIN AND ANDREW
JULY 9, 2020
Mike, Andrew, and I quickly showered after our hike up Timpanogos so that we could head on over to say a quick hi to Kelvin and his family while they were on their way to a family reunion in Wyoming. We stopped at a nearby gas station while they were filling up to say hi. It’s always so fun to see the Ning family. We wish they lived closer to us.
SELFIES WITH GRANDMA
JULY 11, 2020

Before we all headed in the car to drive back to Colorado, we took a quick selfie with Grandma. The kids sure had a great time visiting their grandparents in Orem.
STORM WASHOUT
JULY 15, 2020
We have had quite a few torrential afternoon rainstorms. One in particular, was so strong that it washed out a bunch of the little rocks on the side of our house.
MADELINE THE PUZZLE MASTER
JULY 17, 2020
Madeline really loves doing the little boxes of puzzles. In the past we would help her, but she picked up one of the puzzles and figured out how to put it together all on her own. It was so fun to watch her do it by herself.
WALKS WITH MADELINE
JULY 20, 2020
We love our afternoon walks. Sometimes it is just Mike, Madeline and I that head out to walk around the neighborhood. Sometimes Madeline does the entire loop without any problems and sometimes she just wants to be carried. A good shoulder ride usually does the trick.
PREPPING FOR ANDREW’S MISSION
JULY 20, 2020
With only a month before Andrew leaves for his mission it was time to finally start laying everything out to see what else he needed from his packing list. By the end of the month all of Andrew’s language books and other missionary books arrived.
A FUNNY FIND AT COSTCO
JULY 23, 2020
We love shopping at Costco, mostly for the crazy random things that you can find there. On one particular shopping trip we found a mini keg of beer for Oktoberfest. It was just too funny, so we had to stop and snap a quick photo.
ABBY’S NEW BIKE
JULY 31, 2020
All summer Abby willingly rode Peter’s old green mountain bike even though it wasn’t the best bike to ride. Part of the problem with the bike was it was a little too small and the shifters didn’t work that well. It was finally time for an upgrade, so we got her a TREK bike similar to Emma’s bike. She has really loved riding this bike and can go farther and faster which is pretty great.
