Us and our CRAZY friends!


On monday night we went to the Mayan with some good friends. Bret and Geraldine, Kyle and Bailey and Me and my Husband. It was a lot of fun, the food was pretty good... the scenery was even better! I've been there before but i hardly remembered what it looked like inside. I love all of the foilage they have all over the whole restaurant, and the divers just blew me away. They've got to have some guts to do some of the things they do.

Bret and Geraldine

I love the lights and colors in this picture. We just switched the settings! Pretty cool!
This is Bret. He's Special. I know -- It's upside-down. It's suppose to be

After dinner we went outside and took some pictures. Yes i know we're crazy... but we had tons of fun on our little trip to the Mayan!


Bret's riding a snake...

Kyle - yeah don't mind him. He's crazy!


PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB ON THE FOUNTAIN - OOPS, too late!


Bret and Justin are weird -- It'd probably be better just not to ask :)

More Camping Fun!

Well we went camping AGAIN. This time it was up in the Uinta's with Justin's sister, her husband and her 3 boys. Also my brother Kyle came. We all had a great time!
My dad let us take his Truck and Trailer up to stay in, which i prefer better then staying in a tent. THANKS DAD!! We also had a canoe that Justin's boss let us borrow. Although it was a pain getting into the trailer because it was 16 ft. long, we managed to get it up there.

We had a great time fishing and paddling the nephews around in it. Although we didn't catch anything except the minnow of a fish justin caught just messing around, we still had fun TRYING. We also were able to take our bikes up, so we went for a little ride around the campsite and played in the river. Justin and Kyle were the only one's to get in because the water was FREEZING cold! Kyle got in up to his waist, and Justin only to his ankles because standing in there for less than 30 seconds made his feet go numb. I guess that's just the Uinta's for ya.

Dylan and Carson were so excited when they got there on Saturday because they were going to have a 'sleepover' with us in our trailer. They kept asking... "Is it time for bed yet?!"

Then when it was time to go in the trailer and settle down Dylan, Carson and Kyle kept wrestling. We couldn't get them to calm down for probably a good 45 minutes. But they slept sound through the whole night.

We took some adorable pictures of the kids in this meadow of flowers right next to the sight we stayed at. Tanna (Brenda's Dog) loved just sitting in the flowers and chewing on her stick. It was a priceless picture. This is the CUTEST picture! I love it!


Carson absolutely loves his sword! He wanted to take a picture with it!!


After a long fun weekend we were all so tired. Kyle and I fell asleep on the way home, but after Evanston, WY I woke up and found Kyle sound asleep in the back. We had tons of fun, but i got so sunburned on my legs that the pain was horrible for about 4 days. Of course there are no pictures of me because i'm always behind the camera. But that's okay... sometimes I don't look that great :) Especially Camping!

4th of July Weekend!

We had the best 4th of July weekend! Cody, Carly and Lincoln were able to make it up for a few days. We went camping with them up in the Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was so pretty up there. It was very green and we even had a little creek running right through our camp site. We played games, roasted marshmellows and went on a walk. I don't know who let him have this!

We weren't suppose to pick the flowers! (Oops! Too late)


Lincoln loved this game. He was inside the trailer and we would go outside and scare him. He was laughing so hard!

Sleeping on the way home from camping!
We wish we could have stayed longer than just one night, but we had to get home to celebrate the Holiday with the other sides of our families.
On Friday night, the 4th, we went and had a BBQ with Justin's family and then went to Lagoon's fireworks with my mom and dad, and two brothers. We put our love sac in the back of our truck and sat on it during fireworks. Justin got some awesome pictures!

On Saturday the 5th we had a birthday party for Lincoln who will be 1 year old on July 20th. How crazy, i can't believe that it has already been a year! He is getting so big, and doing so many cute things. He laughs at everything! You smile at him and he gets a big grin on his face and giggles. This last weekend was the highlight of my month! I still wish i could convince my brother-in-law and sister to move up here, but that would take A LOT of convincing, especially on Cody's part! Lincoln loved opening all of his presents and didn't want to sit and open other presents when one caught his attention. After presents we did the cake. We sang to him and he actually tried to blow the candle out but mommy had to help. Then we undressed him and he dove in.

We gave him a Fisher Price Noah's Ark with little people and animals!

At first he was just picking at it with his pointer finger and thumb, almost like he knew if he made a mess he'd get in trouble. Then we all started taunting him, and he got both of his hands messy! He was even trying to share with his Mom and Grandma Trythall. He kept saying "mmmm!" and then he'd scream cause he was so happy. He had a baul! After cake we had to bathe him because he was covered in it, then he was so tired from all of the excitement and went right down for a nap. (Thanks sis for the cute pictures!)
