I can't believe it's almost school time! When I told Josh that I had gotten his registration for school in the mail and we needed to send a check so we could find out what classes he got, he said to me, "Aw, do we have to?" 8th grade here he comes! The summer has gone by SO fast! Before long, we'll all be shivering wishing it was summer again.
We spent the last weekend up at Rockport again. Different campground than last time-it was closer to the water. We had a really good time. Ty & Ashly brought Jaxson and Carter up for the day and Adam came up, too. So good to see them! Marlin took the kids ( Cody, Nikki, & Nikki's friend Chelsea) fishing Sat. morning and afternoon. In the morning Cody caught 3 fish and Chelsea caught1 fish. In the afternoon, Nikki caught 2 fish and Chelsea caught another one. They out-fished the adults this trip! They all went out again Sunday morning but came back empty handed. Marlin & Dad went back out after dropping the kids off and Marlin managed to catch 1 fish. We all had a really good time and the weather was perfect! I LOVE spending time with my family!
We are now getting ready to head up to Trout Creek, Montana! Vicki's family is having their reunion up there and since Marlin has been helping them build their cabin, they invited us to come up and join them. I'm really looking forward to going up there. I'm not sure what they have planned but I bet it'll be fun and I can't wait to see Lynn & Vicki again. It's been too long since I've seen them!
I have pictures to post from last weekend so I'll try to get them on here ASAP.

What have we been up to?
Well, I didn't realize it's been so long since I've updated! Sorry!
Last weekend was a pretty busy weekend for us. We went camping up by Park City at a place called Rockport. We had never been there before (although Marlin had been fishing there before) so it was quite nice to camp in a new place. Josh also had a swim meet so we had to drive from there down to AF Friday morning. That was quite the day! We left the park @ 5:45 and got back down to AF about 7. Then we had 1/2 an hour to kill before we had to be at the pool (I overestimated how long it would take us to get there). We spent that time in the AF Wal-Mart since there aren't that many things open that early in the morning. We really didn't feel like eating then so what else do you do? Anyway, the meet was OK for Josh. No state cuts yet but he keeps inching his way towards them. He has another meet this Sat. where he's hoping to get them. We'll just keep our fingers crossed and see what happens!
I was finally able to start the tests I need to do to find out if I'm a liver match for my sister. I got my blood typed last week and although I already know what type my blood is, they had me go to a "certified" lab. I don't know is next but I am glad we have finally been able to get the ball rolling. Only 11 more days & I will be at 90 days smoke-free! Some things are still really hard to get through but I've been able to remember what I'm doing all this for & it makes it worth the sacrifice.
Marlin is still working his butt off. He's been up to Idaho to help his brother on a bathroom remodel, is laying tile for someone over in Orem right now and is lined up to go back to Montana to work on the cabin that he's been helping do for the last couple of years. Busy, busy. Not only that but he had to take a day and celebrate his birthday yesterday. For his birthday dinner we went to Tepanyaki. We had never been there before either(boy we've had a lot of firsts recently!). They have pretty good food there and for those of you who have never been, it's cooked right in front of you. It was pretty cool to watch it all being done right there. Very filling, too. I felt like I was going to explode. Marlin's brother, Mike, made a strawberry cheesecake for Marlin, too. Hope he had a good day.
