Summer Fun Staycation!

Here is what we have done this summer. I have been slacking and definitely not been updating my blog. So here was our summer. We went to the Palisade Lake where our family has a cabin with the Johnson clan. It was great to be together just as our family. As you see Faith got a little hair cut or say that a 5 year old niece had a hair cutting party with her cousins. Yes she was a victim. Faithy also took swim lessons which helped her not be so afraid of the water and got better aquainted with it. We also rode the front runner train from Ogden to SLC a couple of times. She loved riding on the train.
We went to the Childrens Museum at gateway with Holli my sister and her kids. Thanks to Primary childrens for giving us a pass to go for free. Little benefits of having a child that has been at Primary Childrens. They dressed up and acted out a play. They also played the part of a life flight team. So there is a pic of Faithy with Jonah because that is what happened to him. We also rode the Front Runner down to SLC to go the museum. The kids loved that. As a Archibald Family reunion we went to Cherry Hill for a little family fun. Faith could not even stop sliding on the kids slide into the pool it kept her busy all day.

We had our 7th wedding anniversary. I can't believe that is it has been that long already. Then finally Zach and Karli go married on Aug. 18th. They were excited all summer to get ur done. It was a great day and we were happy to be able to be here for that.

As you know we have been awaiting news on our little Jonah. Well we have finally got it. He will be having his next heart surgery on Oct 1st in California at Standford Childrens hospital. We are way excited that they will be able to fix his heart to have a longer life span. But at the sametime it is very difficult to just had your baby to a surgeon and hope for the best. This surgery will be a high risk surgery but after that only minor things will have to be done as he grows. We are so grateful for our little family. It puts things in prespective sometimes of how fast life can fly by. Always make sure you are doing the best and the most you can for your family everyday for you may not have them in an instant. We love this gospel and all the support we have received so for. Please keep our little Jonah in your prayers and pray for the best. We love ya.
