The past three weeks have been full of doing fun summer things. We are soooo sad that summer is coming to a close. It is our favorite time of year. Our corn crop was extra plentiful this year! As many of you know Jared has another garden a few blocks from our house where he grows tons of corn and of course a few other things. It keeps us very busy, but we love to eat and freeze it for the winter. Garet really loved it! I think he ate more corn than I did. We probably had corn about 10 days in a row. Yummy! The kids have nick named Daddy the "Corn Machine". His family will eat straight corn for dinner, so Jared can eat 5 or 6 ears at a time! Wow, I was a little shocked when I first married into the family:)
Jared was in the Xterra triathlon again this year. It is a 750K swim, 12K mountiain bike, and a 5K trail run. He did great and beat his time last year. The night before the race, Xterra has a bunch of family activities down in Ogden, so Camille decided she wanted to run in the "Kid's race". Our friends, the Button's, have a litttle girl, Breelyn, about the same age as Camille, so she was in it also. She was so excited and even got a number and a medal at the end. It was great fun to watch her.
Camille and Garet love to sit at the piano and play. Camille pretends like she is the teacher and teaches Garet about a song. It is pretty hilarious to listen to them. They are such good friends and I love it!
We were able to go to the Davis and Weber County fairs and the horse pull. The kids loved all the animals and Camille thought she had to dress up as a cowgirl for the horse pull. She has some white cowgirl boots that she just loves. All she needs is a hat and she'll be set!
Jared has been building bunk beds for Camille and Garet the past couple months. It has taken quite a while due to the busy summer, but they are finally finished. Here are some pictures of the work in progress. He is so very talented. I feel so lucky to have such a great guy as MY hubby! We are going to move them in tonight, yippee!
Last night while I was mowing the lawn and Jared was working on the bunk beds, the kids were playing on the swing and slide that Jared also built. Anyway, they played for over an hour just doing silly things together. Here are some cute picts of them being superman, and having fun!

Crystal, the stories you tell of your kids remind me of my kids. Maribelle and Campbell are best buddies too. We'll have to get together and play some time. We will be living in Saratoga Springs for a while, but then we're not sure...it depends on where Mark gets a job.
I fly to Utah October sixth and Mark will be driving out.
Anyway, I love your blog...I'll keep peaking in.
Love ya, Jody
PS- Campbell has the same orange shirt with stripes that Garet does...gotta love target!
