Summer Fun


It is hard to believe the summer is almost over.  We love the summer! The summer is one of the best times of the year!  We have had some fun memories.  Clarissa is the highlight of our lives. Here are some of the highlights of the summer:
 
 
David and Clarissa enjoying Willard Bay.  It was the first time Clarissa has been to the lake.  It was so fun to see her in the water!
 
 
I believe Clarissa is going to be a redhead like me.  What do you think?

We went to Tracy Aviary in Salt Lake.  There were some really neat birds.  Clarissa seems to really like the ducks.  In fact, she has a book about ducks and it has become one of her favorites.  She knows how to say "duck"  and "quack".

One of the unfortunate events of the summer was that our Toyota 4Runner died.  We were on vacation with David's family and it gave up the ghost...ahhh!  It served us well but it would have cost more to fix it than it was worth.  So we had to say good-bye. 
Now the debate/discussion goes on....minivan or SUV?  Any suggestions, input??


Clarissa shares a birthday with her cousin Brockton.  They are both getting so big and very good looking!
David's parents were called to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Las Vegas, Nevada.  They left in July and went into the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah for two weeks.  We were able to go down to Provo and see them before they left for Las Vegas.  It was so good to see them.  They will be incredible missionaries.  We are going to miss them. We are so proud of them for wanting to serve the Lord. 

Clarissa loves to watch me run her bath water every night before bed.  She gets so excited to see the water. 
 Clarissa has become a "Daddy's Girl" in every sense of the word.  She has him wrapped around his little finger a million times!


 
We took a family vacation to Bryce Canyon.  It was so much fun.  It is a very beautiful place.  The sights are breath taking.
