Lance is so sweet with her. He always gives her a big hug whenever he sees her. While walking into Red Robin (where she always takes us out for lunch) he held her hand on the walk in, and held the door for her... what a little gentleman!

Biking in Provo Canyon
Mom (Nana), Katie, Christine with Johnny-boy and Evelyn, and me with my Lance and Afton ejoyed a fun afternoon together!
Katie created some time out of her busy schedule to come down from Salt Lake and hang out with the girls, so we decided to go bike riding in Provo Canyon!
It was a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun! Christine got 2 bike trailors for all the kids to ride in, and we were off! We stopped at one of the parks, ate lunch, played duck-duck-goose, and had a great time!

Happy 3rd Birthday Lance!
Spiderman Lance turns 3!
Lance REALLY wanted to be Spiderman for his birthday this year, so I decided to throw him a costume party! That way he could dress up and all of his friends could get one more use out of their Halloween costumes!
It was a lot of fun and Lance really seemed to have a great time. There were A LOT of little kids that came and it was so much fun!
The party included:
- 2 Handmade Pinatas (made from newspaper, flour, water, blue and red crate paper and hot glue)
- 1 Spiderman Cake (just for the birthday boy)
- 60 Spiderman Cupcakes (Spiders, Webs, and the number 3)
- Disney Music (playing in the background)
- Face Painting
- Food (Peanut Butter and Honey sandwich squares, Bananas, and Grapes)
- Coloring (each child got a bag to color and put their name on for collecting of pinata candy)
- Games (relay with suckers, ring-around-the-rosie, bean-bag-toss)
- Presents from friends and family!!! (Thank you SO, SO MUCH for all of the generous gifts! Wow!)

Activities Before the Summer is Over
My Uncle Tom Felt has gotten really involved in the world of track racing. He has actually done extremely well! He placed 1st in his group and was invited to come to the Miller MotorSports Park and compete in the National Champoinship. He was hoping for 5th place and a bunch of the family was there to watch.
Tom took 3rd! He was so great and we are so proud of him! Michael, Lance, and Afton (as well as many other members of the Covey family) cheered him on. I was also there, but was so sick with some stomach-bug that I was in the bathroom the whole time (not fun)!
I took the kids for a "stroller ride" in American Fork while we were waiting for our car's oil to be changed and stopped at a park to play. While we were there some worker-guys were pouring cement near the play area we were at. Lance was SO interested in what they were doing and kept yelling,
"Hi guys! What you doing?"
"Hey! Can I have a turn?"
"What is that?"
"What's your name?"
The workers were very nice and talked with him about their job. They even let him put his hand in the wet cement to make a handprint!
I hope that they let his little handprint dry in the cement so it will be there forever... but they probably had to smooth it over. We haven't been back to check, but at least it was a fun experience!

The Fire Hole in Yellowstone National Park
Michael has been into "man tests" for a long time now... at least I have heard about them in stories since he was a young boy (the Engstrom family always have great stories to tell me about Michael's adolescence and childhood!).
One of his recent "man tests" was up at Yellowstone National Park at the Fire Hole. He decided to walk barefoot (with his flip-flops on his hands) across the shallow lake and to climb around all the rocks without falling into the water. Our brother-in-law Kyle soon followed, and brother John started out on the adventure as well.
The Fire Hole is a really cool place where the water is a little warmer than the lake water (but it's still freezing!) and there are natural little rapids that can be jumped into that will pull you through a little canyon into the open calm area. Michael & I, John & Christine, Katie, and Collette & Kyle all went and had a lot of fun "riding the rapids"!
This is the place where we jumped in and let the water take us through!
Wow, look how steep!
Michael and Kyle made it all the way around! I was truly amazed that they were able to make it without ever falling in! Some of the rock faces were really steep and jagged. Way to go guys!
Kyle (looking like a vampire)
Michael (he didn't let his flip-flops stop him!)
Okay, this is kind of a random picture, but I just HAD to post it! We were at the guysers in yellowstone and Aunt Katie got this funny picture of Afton... nice hair girlie!
