Family Fun!

We had a family reunion in So. Utah... so we spent a couple days in St. George, then went to Zions... then on to visit my BYU roommate, Kate on her ranch in Nevada. St. George temple
The Thurgood girls on the tram in Zions

Tan Man is ready for a hike!

The girls and Mikelle

If Kate's boys (ages 10, 7) can do it... so can we, right???

They were laughing at us!

Tanner turns ONE!

We could not believe it when it was time for Tanner's birthday already. The year flew by. This little boy has blessed our lives so much. He is so full of life, love, adventure, cuddles and always laughter. We are so grateful to have him as the caboose on our crazy family train.

When babies turn one at our house... they get their own cake, and go to town!

Happy 1st birthay Little t... we love you!

Last Day of School!

Brooklyn & Mrs. Clifford
Juliette (Makenna's little buddy), Mrs. Webber & Makenna

Zackary & Miss Maria (he ended up liking school afterall!)

Just funny...

Zack is always out to get the bad guys... I think three swords, a light saber, "woggles" and mismatched clothes will definitely get them!

Triathlon

Our ward sponsors an annual sprint triathlon on Memorial Day. The girls did the kiddo race. It was lots of fun to train for... but definitely more fun to be done!

The girls sportin their medals

Julie and I showing our patriotism before the race

Is this blackmail?

Greenbrook Gators are back!

The girls signed up for swim team again this year! This year is much more intense... they're working on strokes a lot more and swimming farther in practice. I think they still like it?? I think??
