Shooting

Our friend SFC Kibler, Garet and I went shooting up in Bountiful. Garet brought his rifles and Kibler brought his so we had a great time! We had rifles from WW2 the Mosin-Nagant, K98 Mauser, M1 Garand, and an AR 15 (which obviously is not a WW2 rifle). My favorite obviously was the AR15 cause it doesn't kick but I loved shooting all of them and yes my shoulder is sore!!

4th of July

Garet and I went to Logan for the 4th but we ended up being there on the 1st and 2nd because of Garets work. Friday night we got KFC than went to the Stadium, Diamond Rio was playing, we wanted to buy tickets but we have seen them a few times and wanted to spend time with Garets family and we still got to hear them while sitting outside the stadium. The fireworks were really good actually, we went to Stadium of Fire last year with a friend and I think Logan actually is a good rival for the fireworks (at least this year).

On the 2nd we went to Garets Aunt and Uncles and had a nice bbq with them and his cousins. Sam, Tom and Nate had there turn with the Swenson side so it was nice to hang out with them. For some reason we don't have a picture of Greg or Michelle. Greg had to work Friday night and Saturday but was at least able to have lunch with us.

Wendover

Garet and I went to the Wendover Air Show in June. It was an educational experience, definitely not because of the show but the history is incredible.

This is the "Jail Bird" from Con Air

B-29 Atomic Bomb loading pit

The Hangar that the Enola Gay was in

Baptism

Our friends Nels and Andie at Andies baptism!!

Garet and I went to Europe for 2 weeks and Andie wanted to wait for us to get home so we could be there. We were so honored to be part of this BIG step Andie took. Garet gave a talk on the Holy Ghost and I sang. What an amazing experience and the feelings that were felt!
