Utah Fun!

We went to Utah for a 10 day vacation. I think that we were able to do a little bit of everything while we were there. We went to a Rodeo, went camping in the Narrows in Preston, saw Wali (the new Disney movie), had our 4th of July celebration, celebrated Taylin's birthday at a pool party, went to Jade's baseball game, went to Braydin's baptism, spent time with family and friends. It was over all a wonderful trip!

Grant and Taylin riding in the back of a truck while camping...

oh don't forget little Cupcake... Taylin's new puppy she got for her birthday. Taylin and Grant were together every second of everyday.

They had the best time hanging out in their bathing suits.

Kennedy was enjoying eating leaves by the shore of the river. She figured out pretty quick that leaves weren't something that she wanted to eat!

We went water rafting down the river. It took about 45 minutes and was actually pretty fun. If we couldn't bypass the rocks we would yell BUMS UP! and everyone knew to sit up fast before you got a Bum Bruise!
This is where we prepared all of our food for the dutch ovens...yummy food!

After rafting we would all jump in the back of Grandpa Jere's truck and head back to camp.
Here is Baby Shaylee rubbing Baby Budda's (AKA: Kennedy) belly!

Hummmm....what should I wish for?

Carter & Brody wading in the reeds...Catch anything?

Just hangin' out with Uncle Cody...

Check out these Dandelions! The largest ones I have ever seen in my life!!! Does this mean that the wish will come true 10 times over? heheeee!

We had a Rodeo Rockin' good time! If it wasn't for Jade we would have been really lost when it came to every little detail of the scoring at the Rodeo. They are so particular I couldn't believe it!

This is our wonderful nephew Jade who is excelling in baseball. He is playing on a traveling team and hoping to play for the major leagues one day...definitely college scholarship potential! Way to go Jade!!!
Taylin, Grant and baby Cupcake again... they miss each other so much already!
This was taken next to the parking lot of a gas station in Idaho! We really were in the Sticks!!!


Caution! Adorable little Shaylee is on the run!
Waiting for the Lewiston 4th of July Parade...
Line up...dogs and all to see the parade!

We were able to go up to Clarkston, Utah were Casey lived part of his childhood and view Martin Harris' grave site. It was beautiful up there! On top of a plush green grassy knoll. Seeing sights like this makes my testimony even stronger.

We were able to stay with Lindsee and her family in American Fork before we went back to Arizona. It was so much fun. We had a blast just laughing about my life story. Never really knew how crazy my past sounded until I had to repeat it 3,4,5 times a day! Anyhoo, we had a blast playing 5 Crowns. Thanks Shipp and Eckle family for having us!

Kennedy's first time playing with a real baby doll...she couldn't get enough of her. It was so dang cute!
