11 Months!

Daniel Blocker

In July we received the terrible news that Daniel Blocker, one of our favorite young men from our time in Salt Lake, had tragically drowned in Costa Rica. He was such a fun person! Unfortunately we had lost touch over the years though we would hear about how he was doing from time to time via posts on Facebook. His family asked people to post pictures which gave David and I a chance to remember all the fun times we had with him and the other youth in the ward. 

He and Audra spent a lot of time at our house!

The time we took the youth to a Utah football game.

Fun times at a cabin overnighter.

The YM trip to Havasupai.

These two!'

A lot of boating trips with the youth!

Ice skating!

July Fun

It's always such a delight to have Savannah and Mason for a visit! Savannah and I coordinated our dresses for the 4th!

Tuesday movie club continues! Young Washington...

Minions...

and Moana. We will never forget the Moana experience with the absentee mom, her crazy, unsupervised kids, and the popcorn, candy, and soda mess that they left.

Tricia came into town so we all headed down for some lunch at Chicken Salad Chick!

Pool creatures continue.

Cousin pickleball.

The Springboro football team finally held their golf fundraiser on a Saturday so David and Ryan got a foursome together for it.

Celebrating Dad's birthday with a visit to his grave. I sure do miss him!

And what a treat to see a deer while talking to him. He would have loved that and would definitely have spent some time talking to him!

Doggy day care! These two...

The way Coco looks at me, ha ha!

And the way Coco and Cleo look at food!

Classics book club - Captain Blood. It was awesome!

Ciara did an amazing job at Nationals!
