SNO MONKEY SHAVED ICE
It has been an exciting, stressful, fun, eventful summer to say the least! As most of you know, we opened for business after lot's of red tape in May. I thought I'd be sick to death of Shaved Ice by now, but i'm proud to say the craving is still there. Thanks to wonderful employees and amazing customers we had a great summer getting everyone hooked Sno Monkey Shaved Ice!

Oh Nick how we miss you!
Nick had quite the adventure getting here on his scooter, for what was suppose to be a long weekend, turned into a month! It was so nice to have Uncle Nick around and ...ahem-nanny....
(Nick working on his scooter...she was so good to him, but had lot's of work to be done after a day half trip from provo)
SUMMER '12
Cousins from Omaha/California came to visit!
BEAR LAKE
Life doesn't get much better than spending time with an amazing family! I've never been to Bear Lake but always heard lot's of great things about it. I LOVED how warm the water was. Takoda and Eli absolutely loved every moment with their cousins. I can't tell you how nice it was to have them busy 24/7! We miss you Bliss Cousins!!! p.s. Jill Takoda still will randomly say, "Remember Mom, Addie suppose to come to my house." :)

One of our Favorite Hiking Spots is RED ROCK
It was beautiful in the valley. We decided to go for a hike and as soon as we got there, we heard the rolling thunder. Our short hike turned in to being quite adventurous. We were sopping wet but loved every minute of it.
When we got to this spot it was completely dry. Within 10 min this is what it looked like...
PARK TIME---to keep me sane!
(love this guy) Eli truly is so fun. He smiles all the time. Has soooooooo much energy, but it keeps our house busy and loves to tease his brother. The other day, Takoda was on the toilet, (Takoda hates the door shut) Eli slyly starts to close the door slowly while looking at me, as soon as I look at him, he opens it, like what??? And in the meantime, Takoda is screaming at the top of his lungs ELI OPEN THE DOOR!
Eli loves Gum, he gets his cup of water and feels it up at the fridge. He is tall for his age and calls everyone his age baby.
Little Ninja's
Takoda is doing great in Karate. He loves it!
MY BOYS EATING THEIR HEARTS OUT
They love to eat, like their parents. Let's just say bless my heart when their teenagers!
TEAM CHALLENGE-10K RACE
As always I need motivation to work out. My sis in law Rachel and I signed up for a 10k race. It was great to stick to a workout plan and I was ready to get this race over with. I have to say it was pretty tough. Their were lots of hills. The race was a sunset run, so that part was nice since it was still warm out. I was able to finish this sucker with good music and at mile 4 as I started passing people, (holding my side with a major cramp) I told myself all this training wasn't for nothing...so i pushed on and I'm proud to say I beat my goal time by 1 min. I finished the 6.2 mile race in 56 min!
We were busy this summer and LOVE that it's cooling off. We're in the 90's and yes it's amazing to us! Our windows are down in the car, we're playing more outside and we're all looking forward to Halloween!
