Bryce Canyon

We had such a great time in St George!

Our first outing after arriving was our detour to Bryce Canyon.

It was amazing!

Right outside of St George

Almost there!

The views were spectacular!

The kids, as usual, were great hikers.

We went on the "world's best 3 mile hike."

"Old Bryce Town"

And of course we couldn't visit St George without stopping by In-N-Out!

More to come...

Happy Father's Day!

My Dad is out of town today so I couldn't wish him a Happy Father's Day in person, but I wanted to tell him that we're thinking of him today, and we're so grateful for him!

Happy Father's Day Dad!

And Happy Father's Day to Derek!!!

I couldn't have picked a better father for our kids, we love you!

Free Krisyp Kreme Doughnuts!

The Orem Krispy Kreme is having an ugly tie contest. Simply bring an ugly tie into the store (which they will keep) and fill out their form and they'll give you a dozen glazed doughnuts for free!! (This week only.)

Our trip

I promise I will blog about our trip as soon as I can! Our computer died this week so I haven't had any access to my files or photos. I'm hoping to figure something out this week!!

UP

We saw Disney's new movie UP while we were in St George.

It was so great! We all loved it!

Hiking today

We hiked at Zion National Park today. The views are just breathtaking!

Real at Rio Tinto

Our soccer season is over.
(Thankfully!)
We decided to end the season by attending a professional soccer game.

We went to see Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto stadium.

We had great seats!

Julia, of course, had to bring her soccer dog Rocky!

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!

You'll have to excuse the hand in this pic, the people in front of us were excited too!

Star Wars hair

Wow, I haven't posted in quite a while! We've been crazy busy around here with soccer, teacher appreciation (I'm the room mother), my new Primary calling (1st counselor), still a den leader for scouts, and orders (this is the big time eater). C.R.A.Z.Y.!!

But I wanted to take just a minute to post something a little funny.

Every single day Julia wants a ponytail in her hair. I think she likes the fact that it's fast, and it keeps her hair out of her face. I got away with pig-tails one day. And after repeated requests from me for something different she finally relented.

She asked for Qui Gon hair!

I guess this is the result of having a big brother,

and only a brother.

Qui Gon Jinn from Star Wars

Julia with "Qui Gon hair"

What do you think? I think Qui Gon hair looks cute on her! Too bad she won't let me do it again...
