July Flies By

As we continue to race through 2019, we also continue with the photo montage and brief commentary.

Joyful July! Summer is in its full splendor!

Eliza continues to develop her skills.

On July 2, Diamond and Caleb came to visit! Woo hoo! We went around the town doing all sorts of fun stuff, like Cafe Rio,

the Provo Rec Center,

the gym (of course),

Bridal Veil Falls,



Grandma and Grandpa M.'s,


Ruth's Cafe,


This Is The Place,

the world's largest flag,

and playing Minecraft. Good times!

And then, all too soon, Diamond and Caleb were gone. :(

Eliza's perler beads make good pixel arms. Who knew?

Mike and Landon went on a father/son outing to build minifigs and eat orange chicken. Epic!

Eliza and Mom had their own outing to build a fairy garden!

We have had some strange weather this year. We ended up needing to do our outdoor combined activity indoors.

The Payson Highland Games were a treat, especially considering we knew one of the competitors.


Mom got Landon some gear from Nile Wilson, the British Olympian


We have moved from green to tan. Still getting the wildlife.

Things are drying out, but fires have thankfully been few.

We got into the FaceApp thing before promptly dropping it. If you see any ads with this old man in Russia, you'll know who was the original. . . .

No, this is not Hallie's mom.

We had a Maygren family reunion in G&G's new house. Lots of people! Lucky for us, we can sleep in our own home. . . .






Had to take in the Fiesta Days festivities, including a day at the rodeo.




We also went to play at Snowbird.







Summer sunsets are lovely.

Another trip to Dutch's farm with the cousins





And then they were gone back to their scattered homes too. More sad. :( Good thing Lily is here to cheer us up!

Some things have gotten neglected over the summer. . . .
