Utah summer 2009



Where do I begin?!?!
This summer in Utah was so much fun and we were so busy! Here is a list of some things we did:

Running the Provo canyon, mountain biking on South Mountain, Canyoneering the Subway Canyon in Zions National Park, wake boarding and tubing on Deer Creek, four-wheeling to Daniel Summit, swimming, riding the zip line, lots of great food and eating out, shopping, and time with family, friends, and more family!

What a great summer we had!!

This will be a summer we wont forget and it was great to see so much family and spend so much time together. Thank you especially to both our parents for helping out so much, watching the girls sometimes, planning fun events, and putting up with us! We love you and we are so grateful for you!
I tried to post some pic's below, but I have so many!





Tyler is getting so big (almost 5), isn't she so pretty!

Yup, that is me, repelling in Zions


Zions is so beautiful!


Silly Austin


The rock is so red and really cool how the sand and wind can shape the rock and make it have these grooves and lines in it.


The subway canyon in Zions, for good reason, looks just like a subway tunnel

Just the girls!




Mya, Tyler, Kai, and Afton
(and congrats to my sister for adding one more girl to this mix, born today!)

This is Ginny, Devan, Sam, Massiel and Kai



Can't forget Tyler and Kai's favorite thing... the zip line! So much fun!


Since Devan and Ginny are living at my parents house, we got to spend a lot of time with them and the girls just adore Ginny!


Look what I caught them doing at Grosi's house.



The zip line again!




Kai LOVED getting her hair cut and wanted to do it again, right after she was done... so exciting, just like a girl!


Four wheeling to Daniel Summit with the Lewis family. We were all together for 3 whole days!

Looks like TONS of fun! I love Zions too! We go down 2 or 3 times a year to hike and play! :o)

I was so sad to see you go! (And then to leave myself). It was so fun and I really hope we can see you guys again sooner than later!

It never felt like enough, but I'm so grateful for the time you were here. I love you all so much. Looking at all my pictures again, Tyler and Kai are both so photogenic and SO adorable. Love the one of them in the crock!
