A much needed update...

Wow how time flies!! I can't believe that the summer is already over and we are into the fall!! Well, here is how the rest of our summer went. My brother and his family came from Washington to visit. It was so much fun to have them here. We got to do a lot of fun things including a trip to Salt Lake, playing rock band until all hours of the night, and swimming at the new Payson pool. We had a blast. We also went geo cashing. It was right there in Pleasant Grove and it was a jeep trail which made it extra fun. It was a blast! Here is Hayley digging the geo cash out of the bushes.

Here are the geo cashers...Zack, Clara, Laurel, Canyon, Hayley, Daniel, and Jeremy (my brother).

We also got to go to the aquarium in Salt Lake. It was actually really cool! Here are Canyon, Clara, and Zack looking at some frogs.

Here is the gang petting sea rays. Canyon loved playing in the water!!

Cute little Clara!

Hayley and Canyon

Canyon and Zack. It was so much fun to have them visit! We wish they could visit every month:)

One evening we went up to Tibble Fork to have a bbq in the jeep. Sometimes I think Utah is lame but when we can drive 15 minutes and be in really beautiful mountains, Utah isn't so bad after all.

Canyon and I went on another trip to the zoo. This time we went with Aunt Amy and Lydia. Canyon and Lydia had so much fun together!

After many attempts, here is the closest picture I could get that both of them were semi looking at the camera.

The cute baby giraffe.

For our big family vacation this year we went to Yellowstone. We LOVE Yellowstone. Canyon had a blast and loved camping and seeing all the animals. He even liked seeing the hot pots and geysers. Here is me and Canyon at Mammoth Hot Springs.

Canyon hanging out at camp. Isn't he cute!

Canyon playing in camp while we got breakfast ready. Look at his hands! He is such a boy. He would lay down in the dirt and dig around. He was dirty after being outside for 2 minutes! Every morning a chipmunk would come into our camp and eat the crumbs off the ground that Canyon would drop. Canyon called it the kitty.

Here are Daniel and Canyon at Fishing Bridge throwing rocks in the water. This was Canyon's favorite activity. We would have to find some body of water every day and let Canyon throw rocks in the water. He loved it!

So here I am trying to get a normal picture of Canyon and I with Canyon waterfall in the back ground. It turned out like this. Boys are crazy!

The family in Yellowstone.

Daniel and Canyon in Yellowstone Lodge. It is so sweet. I wish I had a cabin just like it.

We took Canyon swimming in Fire Hole River. It is nice because it is so warm. Canyon had a blast. He jumped off big rocks into the water. We couldn't get him leave!

So one day while were we letting Canyon throw rock into the water, he decided to just get right in and soaked his shorts and diaper. While I was trying to change him he escaped to check out some bugs and plants. LITTLE RASCAL!

Canyon throwing rocks in Lake Yellowstone. It is huge!

Canyon took some digging lessons from Aspen because here he is digging like a dog looking for the perfect rock to throw in the water.

"Buffs" as Canyon calls them. We also saw a ton of elk and deer. We saw a bear swim across a river too. Then it crossed the road almost right in front of us!

Here are Daniel and Canyon eating at our favorite pizza restaurant in West Yellowstone. It was at the end of our trip:(

Some other highlights of our summer included a girls trip to St. George. My sisters, my mom, and I went to St. George and left all the kids and husbands at home. It was my first time leaving Canyon overnight. It was sad! But the good news is that we had a blast in St. George. We went shopping, out to eat, swimming, and we even saw a chick flick. It was such a fun weekend.

Canyon also got a new little cousin, Landon. Lydia's little brother. After such a fun filled summer, here are my guys tuckered out.

We had such a fun summer. Daniel is in school again and it is getting cold. But we look forward to having a fun winter:)
