Strawberry Days Rodeo

In June we got to go to the rodeo with Melissa & her kids and my parents. I think Aidyn had the most fun dancing to all the music. We had a great time! We miss the Hooley's though :)

Miss Mckenna

Two of my adorable neices turned 10 this summer! WOW! Double digits ladies! Last weekend Uncle Marq and I took Mckenna out for our traditional birthday date. We went shopping, tried on LOTS of clothes, and went to lunch. We wished Kennedy could have been there with us but we had a great time anyway :) Luv you Kenna & Kennedy... Happy Birthday Sweetie Pies!!!

Hiking

We are trying to do all the hiking we can this summer. We have done a lot of hiking up MillCreek Canyon which is our favorite because they allow dogs off-leash on odd numbered days. We have also done a little hiking up AF Canyon and there is a trail by our house that we like. We hope to hike to the Timp Caves before the season is over, neither of us have ever been.

Bear Lake

Marq & I got to go stay at the Jenkins beautiful Bear Lake Cabin again this summer, unfortunately Chevy had to stay home this time :( We took her up last year and while we were sound asleep on the deck she woke up and decided to go for a little walk. When we woke up and she was gone we panicked! I was nearly in tears as we searched for her. When we got back to the cabin she walked up as if to say "Oh good! You guys are up". She stayed home this time and we went spent the day boating on lake. Marq had a blast wakeboarding, Bob & Kae waterskied and I did some swimming but a huge thunderstorm blew in before I got my chance to show off my wakeboarding skills. DANG! Maybe next time :)

Big Horn Ranch

I finally got Marq to my family's property up Spanish Fork Canyon. Until I met Marq... THIS is what I thought camping was... 4 wheeler rides & sitting in the trailer. We had a great time with Melissa & her kids, my mom & dad, Brett and my Grandma Norma. Chevy was sad to be left behind in the trailer with Grandma Alana but she did get to chase her very first deer. This picture is of Marq & I was after taking a ride BEHIND Brett, thanks man!

Our Vacation

Marq, Chevy and I took a MUCH needed vacation in May to our FAVORITE vacation spot... Hood River, OR. We got to spend a week with Denise & Chico, 2 of our favorite kids and Chevy's friend Otus. We did lots of hiking, relaxing, and playing. The highlight of our trip was when we all piled in the RV and camped on the coast for 2 days. It was cold but we had GREAT time! Chevy got to see the ocean for the first time and she loved to roll and dig in the sand :)
