Summer 2008

Where do I even start? As everyone knows already, it has been a few months since my last post. I wish I could say we have been out of the country traveling the world and that is why I haven't been able to put on a new post.... but unfortunately that has not been the case. I think it is pretty safe to say that I am just not a good blogger. But I will do my best to keep this thing up.

We have kept busy this summer with fun activities but mostly I have been working each day and Brandon has been busy balancing school, work and keeping me happy. Here are pictures of some of the fun things that have happened.

Bear Lake for Memorial Day WeekendWe had a great time in Bear Lake for the weekend. It was a little cold but it was fun to be able to hang out with Brandon's family and friends.

Lagoon! Remember how fun the Screamer use to be? I was pretty excited to go on this ride.. this picture was taken before the ride began. I hate to admit it cause it makes me feel old, but I was so sick when it was over. I don't know if I could do that ride again.

Brandon was able to take these pictures while we were on the terrifying classic White Roller Coaster. I love that ride. You just can't go wrong with roller coasters.

Together Again!

We were finally able to get together with Jenn, Crystal, Broc, Crew, Shunae, and Travis! It had been so long since we last saw Shunae and Travis so it was fun to get together again with everyone. We were able to reminise about the good old days. Also, Shunae topped off the night with sharing some exciting news. :) Which I still can't get over.

Fourth of July We spent the 4th up in Park City. We rode bikes from Sheila and Brent's house to Main Street to watch the parade. I don't even remember the last time I was on a bike. My legs were burning before we even got out of the neighborhood. But I am happy to say that I did make it and I had a lot of fun. We then watch fireworks that night with Brandon's cousins. Brandon loves this gangster pose that we took, so I had to put this picture on. :)

4XL=4 PeopleAnother rough day at work....Baby, Ally, me and Sheryl were all able to fit into this 4XL shirt!

Brian Head with the Christensen FamilyMy parents rented out a cabin in Brian Head for our family for the first full week in July. My entire family was able to come and most of us were able to spend the entire week there. It was really fun to be able to spent so much time with my family. Above is a picture of my nieces and nephews.. minus a few that are missing. I love this picture... Sister and I always do this pose. This time Mera's shining face is between us. :)

One night we went down to Tuacahn and went to the play Les Miserables. Of course Cathy and I had to get a picture with this funny couple. It really was an awesome play.

Brinley and Kenzie

Aren't these two just so cute?! My family went to a lake one day and had a picnic. Kenzie is loving whatever she is eating!

Brandon's Birthday! Brandon turned another year older on July 11th. We celebrated by going on a hike that afternoon to Cascade Falls. The hike was kind of scary at parts so Brandon was really great at helping our nephew Jaxon get around safely.

Jaxon and Mikayla were great helpers and did the "heavy, heavy hangover" and gave Brandon his amazing presents.

Yes this cake was amazing :) Overall the day was great!

Bryce CanyonOur last hike we did that week was Bryce Canyon. It was beautiful and it was perfect weather for a hike. Here we are heading down for our adventurous hike

Brandon and my Dad

Church in Panguich Lake

Our last day in Brian Head was Sunday. We all thought it would be fun to head to Panguich Lake and attend their Branch. They had a great service. We had a great week at the cabin. Thank you Mom and Dad for making this all happen!
