 Time to catch up. . . I refuse to let having a fourth child stop me, but it has definitely slowed me down.  Here is a quick, but long summary of the rest of our spring 2011 and half of our summer.

Chad ran a the Ogden Marathon in April.  We had so much fun supporting him.

 The kids made sure he was well taken care of after the race.
 We headed to Vegas in May to visit the "other Grundy's" and see their new house.  Of course we made a big trip of it and hit a couple of hotels too while we were there.
 We took the kids to all the usual.  The M & M factory, Coke Store, Bellagio, and lots of swimming. This time we also added the animal reserve.
 We stayed one night at the Vdara, which had an amazing few of the fountains.  The kids spent the whole night watching them over and over.  Thank you priceline:)

 Back in Utah, we hit the parades and town days in preparation for Independence Day.

 Stadium of Fire was next on the list. Grandma and Grandpa took all of us to the awesome night.  My kids had a blast, and I can honestly say, they were the BEST fireworks I have ever seen.

 It was fun having a rare night with ALL of us together.

 Boys, Boys, Boys. . . the "other Grundy's will be adding one more to the group in November!"
 Little Kamryn was not a big fan, but I'm happy to say, she survived:)
 The next night was the Grundy Firework Extravaganza!  Cooper loved the pops and the sense of power it gave him.
 Next stop Bear Lake.  It took a minute to convince Cooper, that there was no actual Bear in the Lake.
 While we were there, we took the kids to the Minnetonka Cave and of course hit the beach.

 To wrap up spring, Carson ended baseball season having fun, which is really all you can ask for at this age.  Abby absolutely loved playing softball this year.  Her team took first place, and won the tournament.  She ended up playing on an All-Star team, The Bullets, and loved every minute of it.  They ended up playing in 3 big tournaments this summer and it consumed a lot of her time, but she had the time of her life.  I really hate to say it, but I think she found her niche (this was not encouraged by her mother in any way, shape, or form, just fully supported).  All-Star photos coming soon.
 And to ensure that this breaks the record for the longest Blog ever, I'm going to end with pictures of Ragnar that Chad and I ran in June.  This year was a blast!  It could have something to do with the fact that I wasn't pregnant this time, but mostly because of the awesome people we got to spend so much time with:)
