Family fun times

What a month this has been! We have spent most of August in Utah, liven' it up every minute. It hard to squeeze all the good times into a few paragraphs. So I figured I would let the pictures do most of the talking.

We love Dave!!!

Dan and Dave


Austin loved playing with Dave in the pool

Dan's brother Dave made a special trip out to Utah while we were there. It was so fun to have him meet Austin, and to play and hang out. His trip was cut short due to his service in the Navy, but we sure ate up every minute that we had with him.

Kayaking the Provo River

If you ever get the chance to kayak down the Provo river, TAKE IT! The water was freezing, but the scenery is beautiful and the river is tons of fun. There is one point where you have to get out of the river and carry your kayak further up the river, and get back in. When I put my foot in to get back in, I saw what looked like a shoe string in our kayak. Then I realized it was moving! I jumped out and let out a yelp. Becca, my sister saved the day grabbing the snake and releasing it into the wild again.

It was so fun to gather around the fire roast hot dogs and talk to the family. While we enjoyed the sun setting on mount Timpanougus.

Brooklyn my niece want to be a beautician when she gets bigger. She is the one with the glasses. Brooklyn has already started her own business called Judy's Beauty. This is a picture of my sister Sarah her daughter Emma and I after our hair,nail and make up jobs. Pretty good hun?

Happy 50th Birthday Chicky Babe (AKA Mom)!

August started off with a BIG surprise birthday party for my Mom. We had all her friends and a lot of family waiting in the living room, and my sisters and our families hid behind a curtain. Her eyes welled up with tears as my sisters and I came out from behind the curtain one by one. Seeing the look of aw and surprise on her face, made all the planning and work totally worth it! Well that and going to Jack Johnson concert with her for her Birthday!The worst thing about it was that Tagg and I had to leave Dan at home to take his finals.
