Wow, it has been awhile......

School started and soon after we were off to Utah to baptize Abby in the river and celebrate Tanner and Kevin's birthdays. From there, I have been really busy with work, both at the store and doing a few photo shoots. Our Saturdays are consumed with soccer games where Ryan is coaching both U10 girls and U12 boys. Hopefully this will be the last year of that... I was able to sneak away for a girls trip down to St George where we had a great time hiking and relaxing. A few websites have launched of some of the photography I have been doing....

Back 2 School

New Back packs... New shoes...  Chocolate chip cookies... Football... and hanging out with friends.

It is good to be back!

Tahoe

Love it up in Tahoe! The lake is high and cold, but it did not seem to bother Abby at all. She is a little crazy. She wanted to be in the water ALL the time. A big thanks to Tim and Mitz. Can't wait to go back up next week!

Half Moon Bay

First trip to the beach this summer! Definitely need to get over there a little more often (especially since I got a new bike, and Ry is getting a new Bod!!) He has a little competition going with one of his friends at work. This week he is winning! Hopefully it will be over soon, I miss the old Ry...

First half of Summer!

Hard to believe that we are already half way through summer. We took our annual pilgrimage to Utah to spend some quality time with our dearly missed family. Nothing feels more like home then spending time at Pines Ranch. There are so many days that  I wish myself there.  After spending a day at the Pines, Ry and I were off to Europe sans kids. A big thanks to both of our parents who took care of them while we were away.  Back to Utah and a day at the ranch so  Ry can justify his truck, and feel like a real cowboy roaming around WY. Luckily Buzz and Jenn keep it stocked with plenty of fun things to do. The Ranger was a huge hit. We just can't figure out where we could drive one around here.  We ended our time in Utah with Ry's family who hosted us up in Midway (thanks Greg and Chris). We loved it there, especially now that they have legalized the big fireworks. It is always hard to leave all of the cousins, but it is also nice to unpack and sleep in our own beds!
