My Mom has told me that when I was younger she would nap with my sister and I would organize her shelves. Well I wasn't napping and I am not sure that Jack is organizing, but I thought it was funny.

Boating at Pineview

My sister Nikki and her husband Matt bought my parents boat from them and we were able to go with them up to Pineview Reservoir to enjoy it this week. One night we stayed up in Eden so we were able to get on the lake early and enjoy some smooth water, it was fantastic! The initial shock of the water temperature makes you scream a bit but then you sort of get used to it. Jack loved being on the boat and loved playing in the water.

Here is Nikki driving the boat, I believe she is pulling Matt on the water ski. So much fun! Thanks Ashtons!

July 4th

We had a great 4th of July weekend. Emily & Ryan stayed with us for the whole weekend and that was great fun. It was fun to have room for them to stay with us this time!:) We had a great day Friday with the family and we started it by heading up to Mueller Park Canyon. Two times in two days is pretty good for Jack and I. We hiked on the Elephant Rock trail and didn't come near the top but I think that we made it half way. It was beautiful and cool and we took some fun pictures as you can see below. Since I was 13 my family lived right next to Mueller Park and so I spent a fair amount of time there growing up but in the 3+ years that Rob and I have lived in Bountiful he has never been up, shame on me, so it was great for Rob to finally make it.

Bob & Shannon looking picture perfect!

Not such a bad picture of me.

Em on the hike, who looks this good hiking???

Back from our hike and ready to eat! Ryan is a great cook so we usually try to take advantage of him while he is in town. We decided to make something traditional, that wasn't hamburgers or hot dogs. We went with pulled pork and it was delicious thanks Ry!

We ended the night in Centerville watching the fireworks show. At first it seemed like a budge crunched show, but they came through and it was very enjoyable. Jack liked them at first but them he got a little scared and would hide behind Rob or I and peek around us to watch them. Thanks Christiansens for a great weekend. We did have everyone here, I just didn't get any pictures of it.

Mueller Park Canyon

I grew up just next to Mueller Park Canyon and probably didn't spend as much time there as I should have, but I still went a fair amount and hiked and played around. We went up there with the kids and hike for a short while on the Elephant Rock trail and after a couple of quick falls by Jack we settled in and had a nice time. Here are the kids at the halfway point sitting on some tree roots eating a snack.

We got a fun picture of the light reflecting off of Ellie's binoculars.

Nikki and Annie Kate checking out some of the plants. We were trying to look for animals and we saw a beetle and we actually saw a snake!
Even baby Will was enjoying his hike! (Mom, remember you can not see the video from your Mail mode, you have to go watch it out on the actual website).

Like Father Like Son

Here are my two boys. Even though Jack has my blue eyes and blonde hair he is A LOT like his Daddy. Rob spends most of his day working on his computer and below if you look closely that is chocolate ice cream another one of Rob's favorites, and as a little boy Rob was obsessed w/firetrucks and firefighters, and honestly I didn't even pose this picture Jack just wears the hat around!

Adios Amigos!

The day has come and my parents are off on an adventure for the next 3 years in Spain. It was an emotional day for everyone but along with the tears a lot of happy feelings of new things to come for all of us!

Clegg Family Pics

This past week has been full of Clegg Family fun. My brother Garrett & his family were in town and we all just spent a lot of time together before my parents leave for the next 3 years. I have posted the family pictures that we took. I didn't have a picture of my youngest brother Zach and his wife, their pictures were on a different camera, but I don't think they read this blog regularly so I will just hope they don't notice!:) Above is the whole gang!

My parents! They are ready and excited to go. I think all of us just do our best to not think about the fact that they really are leaving.

Rob, Jack, & I.
