Tis the season to make fresh marinara sauce from the garden!!  (Everything minus the spices ARE from my garden)

Jeff's stir fry creation ALL from our lil garden!

Also from the garden (minus the chicken).  I love this time of year!!

Look at how grown up our lil Banks is!  This is Banks on Grandpa Maruji's tractor in WA.  We got to go up for a family reunion with all of my dads side...SOOOO FUN!  Then Banks and I got to stay an extra week after everyone went home (we stayed for my 10 year class reunion)

This is all 52 of us.  (The only one we were missing was my brother in law Michael.)  Other than that, this is all the Maruji's.  This picture was taken on our front lawn.  Don't we have a beautiful view?  This is where I grew up my whole life.

This is my immediate family + spouses + kids.

My sister Emily at our family reunion making a delicious s'more!

S'mores @ the Family Reunion in WA

Sadie (my niece) with Grandma Minnie and Banks.  Just out for a stroll during the Family reunion.

(I think thats Spencer in the background on the 4 wheeler), and Grandpa with Danny, Mikey, and Tanner. (At the reunion)

I LOVE this picture!  I think its SOO precious!

Look at those two cute twinners!  Banks "cooking" with his cousins Mikey and Ashlyn.

Jeff at the finish line of the Echo Triathalon.  He did SOO good!  Way to go Jeff!  His 1/2 mi swim I think was 16 mins, I dont remember his bike time, and 22 mins for the 3 mile run.  AWESOME JEFF!

Kinda in the back, on the red bike is Jeff (wearing a white tank) coming in off his 13 mile bike leg at this triathalon...

I ran the American Fork half Marathon the Saturday before we headed up to WA for my family reunion.  It went AWESOME!  Its a beautiful, fast course.  I set a Personal Best: 1 hour 38 mins..which is a 7:30 min per mile pace. 

In WA, my mom and dad have mastered pizza on their Traeger Grill.  MMM this was some of thee best pizza I've ever had!!!

In WA, my dad bought Banks this lil pool to swim in.  It was 100 degrees several days when we were there, so it was perfect to put it under their covered deck.  Banks logged many, many hours splashing and playing in this pool!

my sweet, sweet boy!

BOTH my sweet boys! 

 

 

 (this one of grandpa's mudpits for the 4wheelers to fly through at the reunion)

Meet: The Ultimate Breakfast Burrito.  A crispy corn tortilla layered with bacon, eggs, fresh pico, avocado, cilantro, and tater tots.  Is your mouth watering yet?  Yes, its just a delicious as it looks!  Created by: my very own sister, Emily Sycamore! Two words: LIFE CHANGING!!!  MMM MMMM MMM!

Banks LOVED riding the tractor with Grandpa!  Grandpa was nice enough to let Banks stear and press all sorts of buttons! 

This picture is up at Justin Lynch's parents cabin in Midway.  If you look closely, you'll notice a REAL pizza oven in the background.  Justins parents recently returned home from Milan, Italy (serving a mission).  They of course fell in love with Italian pizza over there and decided to have a REAL outdoor pizza oven put in at their cabin.  We were lucky enough to have them make us pizza.  It was really good.
