I'm OOOOld.

We decided it was that time to go hike Adam's Canyon. We've done it a couple times years ago and we thought it would be fun. We heard it only took a total of 2 hours and we had exactly that much time to conquer this motha'. Before we were even to the canyon we were EXHAUSTED! Those stinkin switch backs had done us in. We wanted to turn back but there is no way we would try this again, so since we were already up the switch backs we pressed on.
It is seriously up hill the whole way! What the heck is wrong with these people with smiles on there faces passing us? (idiots is what I was thinking). We couldn't take too many breaks because I had to be to work in a couple hours.
Finally we made it! with little bickering. To make it to the waterfall is amazing. It's so pretty, peaceful, and the temperature is perfect there with cold mist coming from the waterfall.
Now, it was time to go back down hill.. my legs were shaking the whole time and my knees were going to give out so I was moving like a turtle. Needless to say, Brody wasn't too impressed with my timing.
When I got out of bed this morning I could barley walk. The sides of my buttocks are SO stiff, I think I have shin splints, and I feel like someone sucker punched me in the ribs on my right side... Oye, I'm gettin old.

Red Fish Lake

To End the fun Holiday my Dad and Mary took us up to stay in cabins at Red Fish Lake. Brody couln't make it due to work and the Christensen's had to go back home so it was Me, Erin and her kids, and Mary's daughters Kira and her family and Bridgette. It's a killer drive but once you get there it is really pretty. We played Ticket to Ride every night and ate like King's. I also went river rafting for the first time in the coldest water I've ever been in! It was definately something I'll be doing again. The views were amazing and the company was great.
Thanks again Dad and Mary.

Just a couple good lookin ladies hanging out at the beach :)


Going on a hike


Instant friends


Awesome kids and an awesome view of the lake and mountains




Bees Game

My Dad took us all out to a Bees game while the family was here and when I say all of us I mean the Wittwer's (minus Tyler), Christensen's, Me and Brod, Dad Mary and Bridgette, and my mom and her friend Paul and his daughter Kayla. It was a great night for a game and I'm pretty sure the Bee's won.
We enjoyed chicago dogs, great seats, popcorn, 7th inning entertainment from our nephews, and an awesome train ride.
All the kids were being SOO funny/crazy. The pictures below tell all.
I don't know why I never take pictures of me and Brody when we're with other people.. I will be working on that. Thanks for the fun night Dad!!











Dane = the official cheerleader for the Bee's. I think they ran 2 miles while we waited for the train.


Finally on the train with Grandpa



Best Buddies


Jack and Cord were able to go out on the field and ride stick horses around the Bee. McCord pulled ahead and won and I think Jack was just having too much fun riding the stick horse.. :)

4th O' Jewleye

The 4th was a BLAST this year minus the parade. It was too long, too crowded, Brody had to miss it for work, and Stef pretty much got tackled by a 7'3 man trying to catch a tie from Missionary Mall. So besides that whole chuck of morning that stunk, the rest of the day was great! The water fight/water games, BBQ, slip-n-slide, yummy treats from Dad and Mary and Suzanne, fireworks, and company couldn't get any better. So glad I was able to spend my favorite holiday with those I care for and love most!! Thanks for the fun day family!!


Showing off their sweet candy buckets!

Gettin the party started!

The Wittwer's were the first to arrive so to kick off the party we started by going swimming at the Roy Aquatic Center. Jack loved going on the huge slide and Ry loved the little itty bitty kiddy slide made from a frog opening its mouth and sliding down the tongue.. little weird describing it but I totally would have loved it if I were a year or so younger.
The day ended with the last half hourat the pool Erin, Mom, and I all got sunburnt on our right shoulder and some terd pooped in the pool! gross.
(No pics of my Mom and I)

JuNe

The rest of June went by WAY too fast! My Family went to yummy, delicious, i want to go there right now, Taggarts while Joyce was in town. We celebrated Fathers Day with my Dad and gave him new things to do on his spare time with his new job like a new movie, a road map of the western states, a pocket knife and a stick of wood to widdle on... ya know, the usual. Although I don't think he really has that much spare time. We love you Dad.

Updates of July to come so soon it'll knock your socks off!
