Summer's Last Hurrah @ East Canyon

We camped @ East Canyon this past weekend with my sis & her fam.

It was tubing weather (windyyyy/choppy lake)...

Wyatt and cuz Ben finally got smart & wore goggles so they could actually see through the "splashy problem" <--Wyatt's term :)

Nate enjoys the tube

So bouncy & fun haha

Kristin's second? time on a wakeboard


This is from a different day, but look how sweet & innocent Wyatt is. ;)

Grandparents RULE!

Grandma & Grandpa D have a great thing going on that we call "Grandma Grandpa day". Every other Tuesday they invite Wyatt to a fun activity, once a month it's just grandma, grandpa & Wyatt and once a month its all the (Utah) grandkids together. They've had some good times together at Liberty Park, hiking, live performances/plays or just hangin' at their house watching America's Funniest Videos (Wyatt laughs his HEAD off at this show). G/G day is AWESOME. Wyatt looks forward to it.

Their latest adventure was at Timpanogas cave...




Grandma Barbs took Wyatt to the Sandy Balloon festival awhile back and got some cute pics...


Donut Falls w/just the 3 of us...

Wyatt is a blue belt! on his way to "ninja"! haha

Steve in the glory days... hahahhahaha Oh my gosh. This is too much fun for me right now.




Steve was on the reunion committee (class officer in HS) so that means we were first to arrive/last to leave at all reunion events this past weekend.
Class of '90 in 2010...


Saturday evening dinner @ Grand America


Friday evening picnic @ Murray Park

Saturday morning golf tournament

By some miracle I won the Womens Longest Drive contest


It was a fun weekend. Murray Spartans are some of the best people around! :)

Wildflower-a-palooza!!!

Hit the Albion Basin (Cecret Lake) this week. Unbelievable beauty. We kept talking about how awesome it is to live in Utah and how we wouldn't rather live anywhere than right here and how people travel across the country to see this sight and here it is in our own backyard. I LOVE UTAH THE GREATEST PLACE ANYWHERE. (Ya, so I've never lived anywhere else but I don't think I'd want to... I've travelled around a bit and nowhere compares to the diversity and natural wonders of Utah.)




What kind of mother lets her kid try to catch "dinosaur lizard fishes" in the freezing mountain lake? haha

Why I hate ward softball...

Steve tore his hamstring at ward softball the other night. The dude doesn't know how to play with anything less than 110%. And there's just something about ward softball that doesn't agree w/Steve. A few years ago he broke his ankle/tore ligaments at ward softball! So thats it! I'm exerting my wifely authority (BAH!) and no more softball for Steve-o. It's messing up all my summer plans... :( poor me. haha j/k

Fun hiking sans Steve...

I could never count all of the blessings that have come into my life from that one best decision to marry Steve 15 years ago, but one of my favorites is the blessing of getting to go to Lake Powell every summer with his wonderful family. We always have such a great trip together and there's just something special about that place. It remains my favorite place on earth.





Fave discussion with Wyatt lately:
After a Primary sharing time about the Holy Ghost
Wyatt: "Ya know how you're more into the church than Dad?"
Me: "What?"
Wyatt: "Ya know how you are more into the church than Dad?"
Me: "What do you mean?"
Wyatt: "Well remember when I faked that I was sick so I could stay home from church and Dad stayed with me so he could watch football?"
Me: "Ok"
Wyatt: "I wanted to do it again the next week, but I think the Holy Ghost told me that it wouldn't be a good choice."

Funny to get a glimpse into the mind of a 7 year old. Hahaha
