One more post today...random pics


I have been taking my phone (there's a camera on it) running with me because I have a project that I am using photography to do and there is some gorgeous scenery around here. So here are a few of the random pictures that I have taken. I like all the unique things there are to photograph around our place since there is some undeveloped land nearby. I should have done photography for school, it is way more fun! Maybe someday... Don't tell Ben :)








Our Trip to California for Emmett's Blessing

Ben and I were lucky enough to be able to take the weekend last week and go California for the blessing of Jessica and Matt's new little baby. We love being around family. I actually forgot to take a picture of the little guy that was the main event that weekend! So here is one of him that Jess sent me not too long ago. I just can't get over this little guy :)
Here are most of the men that were in the blessing circle. There were so many, it was a wonderful sight to see.
Mya, Brianna, and AJ found a worm while playin' outside and I got them to take some fun pics for me! They are so fun, I love these kids. They were so excited to each other again while the whole family was in town for the blessing, it was so precious to see.
Brave Mya pretending to eat the worm!
Brianna was the first to pretend to eat that thing! She is a great sport!

Ben and I went up to apple hill with my mom and Rachel and her kids. Ben had never been there before and it was so beautiful up there. It was nice to go there again after years of being away. We got stuffed on yummy apple treats. Sarah got so messy at the little fishing pond there. She is one hilarious little girl.

It's About Time I Updated...Driving the Alpine Loop

Before it got snowed in back in the mountains, Ben and I decided to drive the Alpine Loop, a gorgeous winding drive through the mountains, starting in the American Fork Canyon and coming out in the Provo Canyon; it goes up into the mountains on the back side of Mt. Timpanogos. Here are some of the pictures of the scenery. The Fall colors were brilliant. We picnicked up there, but man was it cold!

Trip to Cali and Meg's Tubing Flip

Ben and I went to California last weekend. My Mom, Rachel, Becca Wooden, and I threw a baby shower for Jess. It was a quick weekend, but we managed to go rock climbing, throw a baby shower, and go out on the lake :) It was so much fun to be there! This video is of Ben, Ryan, and I riding the tube. Jess recorded at the perfect moment! Here's my crazy tube ride and flip for your entertainment!

View from the Backyard




These are the only pics that I have so far of our place. But isn't that view amazing?

4th of July

This picture isn't from the 4th, but it's a cute one of Sarah chowin' on some hot fudge.
Street Fireworks
AJ pulling his Dad in the kid trailer. That was a sight to see. That kid is amazing! He pulled Rachel too but I didn't get a picture because he was going so fast.
Granny sharing her pasta salad with Sarah.

We went rock climbing in the morning with Ryan, Rachel, their kids, and Derek and his girls. Here's Ben climbing.


Ryan fashioned a tiny harness for AJ and the little monkey climbed.

Ryan and Sarah at Rock Canyon. It was so nice to have Ryan and Rachel in Utah for a while. We love you guys and miss you!

A last few pics from Missouri

Saying goodbye before we all moved. Jake and Jaime are missing in this pic.

I am WAY behind on my blogging. I don't have much time for it with school right now! Here are a few last pictures from Missouri and then I promise to have pics of our new place and the happenings out here in Utah soon.
