I love summer!

Ahhh... summertime! I love it! We have had a great summer so far. Well, actually it started off a little rough with Justin falling out of a fire truck on Memorial Day and breaking his collar bone, but since then it has been great. We've been swimming, bowling, zooing, camping, boating and in the middle of all that I squeezed in a quick trip to Alaska with my sister Lynne followed by a trip to Washington DC for me and Craig. Fun, fun, fun! Meanwhile we are staying active. We are both training for a half marathon coming up next month and Craig is training for a 206 mile bike race in September. I'll blame all of this busyness on why I cannot seem to find time to update this blog! Just know if I haven't posted in a while it's because were out having fun.

Justin's first boat ride. He was a bit nervous at first but quickly warmed up.
Kristi with her parents at the Anchorage temple.
Savannah participated in a youth choir. She loves any chance to sing and perform.
Justin with our gorilla friend at the zoo.
It's a tradition to take pictures with this gorilla each time we go to the zoo. I should have the kids name him. He looks like a Bruno to me.
Throwing rocks into the river.
Justin's collarbone brace. He called it his "backpack". He had to wear it for 3 weeks and now is back to normal and just as active as ever.
Savannah's first race. She ran 1 mile in 10 min 24 sec. She might have been able to do it faster but I was trying to keep up. I think (and hope) she has inherited some good running genes from her birthmother.
Bowling as a family. Fun for all, except for Justin when it wasn't Justin's turn.
Justin practicing "superman arms" in swim lessons.
Savannah practicing her back float in swim lessons.
Kristi in Alaska, visiting her parents and brothers.
A wet family!
Craig and I were able to go to a Washington Nationals game while in DC. Craig was excited to see Stephen Strasburg pitch. I was excited for a cold drink and hot dog!
Justin is a maniac in the water. We tried water wings on him for the first time and he loves them! (I love them too... no more yanks on my swimsuit straps!)
Craig, my hot stuff, and the Washington Monument.
Me & Craig at the Supreme Court building.
Savannah made the best s'more ever.
Justin and cousin Luke. I love this picture because it looks like they are getting along when in reality Justin is always hitting Luke. They play well together but Justin likes to cheapshot Luke. I'll be happy when Justin grows out of this stage!
My sweet boys.
