Two weeks ago today, Barrett's brother, Isaac, left for the MTC. It was both sad and exciting for him to take this next step. He will be serving in the Mexico, Mexico City South Mission. We will miss him very much! But we have already loved reading his letters! I just wanted to share a few pictures from the big day.

June and July
Barrett's Ragnar Team
![]() | |||||
| Barrett ran Ragnar again with the same team and ran the same legs. Barrett's parents, sister, and I were able to see him come in on his last run. |
Waiting for Holladay fireworks on the 4th of July
Both sides of Barrett's extended family had reunions and we had a ton of fun doing all the activities! Sadly, the only picture we have is this one from Rocky Mountain Raceway. But with the Yates we played frisbee golf, had an outdoor movie night, and played games. With the Taylors we celebrated the 4th of July, golfed, and went to Rocky Mountain Raceway. It was fun to spend time with family!
My 25th birthday
The numbers are a little confusing.... but the 2 and five stars are for my age and the 6 is for my nephew's.
Barrett always outdoes himself when he makes presents for me. He gave me these two decorations for the nursery.
