These girls absolutely love soft-serve ice cream!
It's time! Verity's growing up too big (gotta shave the legs now ;) )
Verity one-on-one time with mom and dad at Cafe Sabor. Her favorite part was the fried ice cream!

I think mom is portraying that the glasses make her "nerdy". Heartily disagree!
Dad and Kaleb practicing, "I Believe in Christ" in preparation for Kaleb's upcoming farewell talk
Kaleb after he had a cyst removed on the side of his face (I hope he's okay?)
Enjoying mom's donut holes! SO GOOD!
Here's our annual camping trip to Pasa-la-Coma up by Bone, Idaho. Given and Grace joined us this year with their very own tent!
Love our time by the campfire!!
Good morning sleepies!!
So cool - they let us use their bow and arrow range this year. We all got pretty decent at it.
Nice arrow shooting, Given!
Perfect form?!!?
Got the beef right in the vitals!
They had hatchet throwing too. Nice shot, everyone!
Right in the middle! Incredible shooting!
Time on the Pasa-la-Coma pond. (So cold!) Dad and Verity in the water; Hayden and Kaleb in canoes.
We played a ton of kick soccer. It was exhausting but so fun! Here is us honoring the flag for the National Anthem before the game kicked off :)
Beautiful, natural sleeping positions!
It's SO pretty up there!
Hayden being a pyro and destroying our already-broken camp chair with a torch!
Camp is all done until next year!
Seriously?!! This girl is STILL losing teeth! (seriously has lost like 10 teeth this year!)
Mom and Kaleb enjoying Wing Stop!
Enjoying dinner at Texas Roadhouse!
Kaleb's temple endowment day at the Idaho Falls temple! What an awesome experience!
Time for the temple/mission-flag pictures. Kaleb was grateful they made a new Utah flag (improvement!).
So wonderful to have Given and Grace join us on Kaleb's special day!
He's going to be a handsome and incredible missionary!!
The following week, we had some family come to Idaho Falls to go through the temple with Kaleb and to be there the next day for his missionary farewell.
Having lunch at Culver's in Ammon with Andre, Traci, Genni, and mom and dad Dutson.
After our temple endowment with Kaleb. Grant, Given/Grace, Andre/Traci, Gma/Gpa Hatch. The Dutson grandparents, Sheldon/Abbey, and Jayson/Chris, Abby/Kobey came too (gone before picture time).
A little more practice for "I Believe in Christ" the ne next day.
Best family ever. Thank you all for visiting for Kaleb's special weekend!
We love Aunt Chris so much!
And their whole family!!
Enjoying post-farewell food in the shadow of our backyard tree with the Harrison cousins.

Thank you so much for coming, Hatch's!
Love Uncle Grant
Some more temple time. Kaleb can't get enough! We were blessed to do every ordinance with him before he started his mission.
Fun Saturday activity playing at Rigby lake together. We've loved having Crossnet. So fun!
Dad and Verity swimming in the lake (no one else would).
Time to warm up and dry out!
All of us and our toys crammed in the van after the lake. The Iverson's were on a little trip in Island Park, so we got to have Elsie with us for the day.
Um. Yeah. Licking brownie batter without a shirt. Makes all kinds of sense to me?!
Best BUDDIES!
Last year of elementary for our family! Verity looks awesome for her first day of 6th grade!!
Biking/scootering our way to school with Verity on her first day of school.

HIGH SCHOOL! Hayden looking amazing on his first day of 9th grade. Atta kid!

Given visiting and the boys doing their Saturday football watching!
Last day of work for Kaleb at Hobby Lobby!
We went to Utah for fall break. Given unfortunately had some seizure-like episodes on Friday night and ended up staying the night in the hospital.
Mom and Grace were troopers and stayed with him all night.
The next morning, the did an EEG on Given to see if his episodes were epileptic. Thankfully, they are not, and Given was released from the hospital.
Our main objective for our Utah visit was to go to the first BYU football game of the season. By a miracle, we made it to Provo in time for the game.
Pre-game festivities.
Kaleb sporting his new, awesome, BYU flag!
A little pre-game spikeball
Verity throwing footballs!
Sleepy Given and Grace taking a little break.
Let the party begin!!

Way to represent, Kaleb!
We loved our time in Utah - so grateful we made it to one BYU football game with Kaleb before he started his mission!
