Just us for the weekend

On Friday the 17th we were able to go see the 6th Harry Potter! HOORAY! It is by far the best on in the series so far!. I can't believe there is only only left!

On Sunday, Brent & I went to Zion again for another free weekend. We hiked to the end of the Narrows path (didn't quite get to the Narrows all the way cause we forgot to bring extra shoes to get wet - oh well). We also hiked to the middle & lower Emerald Pools.

It was such a beautiful day to go. I loved hiking with Brent & spending time admiring the scenery. The hike to the middle pool was mostly going up stairs. It was so difficult to make my legs move after that and my hands were so swollen from the heat and overworking myself that we decided to head back to our car. We decided then to drive through the rest of the park. It was so neat to go through all of the tunnels & see all the sandstone - even though we got stuck behind a really slow obnoxious van (and who happens to be in tonz of our pictures lol).

After driving through the park, Brent decided we were close enough to Page, Arizona & Lake Powell that we should just keep driving till we got there. It was so fun taking a long road trip & going to new places with Brent. My cousins Ryan & Melanie moved to Page not that long ago, and it was really fun to surprise them with a visit. It was so good to see them again. Janey is now crawling & Taylor and Callie have grown so much! We didn't get to stay long (had a long 2.5 hr drive back) but it was so nice to visit them!

It was such a great weekend!!! We both had so much fun and we can't wait to go again!!


Here are some of the millions of pictures we took --enjoy!

Independence Day

I love this country!! I am so grateful for our freedom and for those who have and continue to fight and sacrifice for it. I love being able to celebrate all that this great country stands for. I am so grateful for our ancestors and all they did for us that makes it possible to enjoy all that we have today. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

To celebrate this year Brent and I first went to a parade. It was really funny when an airplane almost got stuck when it had to move around a cross walk. Afterward we had a picnic in our car (cause it was raining so hard) and then we went to SUU for the Shakespearean festival to see the Secret Garden. It was really good and Brent & I got into trouble for taking a picture of us in the theatre ha ha. After we went to see the really cute and funny movie - "The Proposal". It was really good. I liked it alot. We made yummy BBQ hamburgers and thenwent and picked out the perfect spot to watch the City's fireworks. We got the perfect spot and were pretty much right underneath where they went off. It was so neat! They had alot of really pretty and big fireworks. Brent & I definitely had our favorites though. It was a great 4th of July holiday!!

Below are a few picts of the parade. Enjoy!
