I wish I were better at blogging more often, because then I wouldn’t have to remember all the little details that can be so easily forgotton..
Anyways..
After we spent time in Las Vegas, We treked over to St. George, Utah for some quality family time.. Better known as our annual Family reunion!
The unknown faces in these photos are my cousins
The phrase ‘all because two people fall in love’ has real meaning when getting together with family
We started our reunion by meeting up at Cafe Rio–a favorite of pretty much everyone I know..
The next morning the boys did a little of this..
and the girls.. went shoppin’

Zions
A few weeks earlier, a few of my cousins did a hike in Zions and then reported to us that the hike was basically a walk and that it would be a perfect “walk” for all of us that had kids that were tagging along.
I wasn’t sure about taking a hike that wouldn’t allow me to take a stroller.. It was over 100 degrees that day and Andy wasn’t going to be there to help me carry our over 20 pound child and backpack. My brothers and dad assured me that they would help with Carter, so I agreed to go..
The hike started out like this..
The hike progressivly got harder, and harder. I seriously do not know who was crying harder.. the babies or the moms. All of our dads were carring or kids, so we continued on with them.. but let me tell you.. I regret wearing flip flops. At the end of the hike, I sat down and had blisters on my toes.
At the end of this hike we were all sweating soo bad and were all soo tired. There was a large pool of freezing cold, run off water that we all basically jumped in when we got to it.
I love the pure joy on his face 🙂 He seriously cried when I made him get out..
I wish I could fall asleep anywhere like my baby.. He fell asleep in my dad’s arms on the hike down. You would think he was the one doin all the work!
