Zion

Our Family Reunion with Dan's Dad and Ronda was spent in Springdale right outside of Zion. The weather was beautiful and the hikes were amazing! I left feeling guilty for not taking advantage of living so close more often. I felt such an amazing feeling of peace while we were there. The baby bird in the photo fell out of it's nest. Dan had to convince me I couldn't take it home. We made a lot of good memories while we were together as a family, so fun!

Heber Cabin

Here's some pictures of our Family Reunion with Dan's Mom and Reid in Heber. We had so much fun! The cousins ventured off and explored every yucky muddy swap they could find. The cabin was amazing! Call me a city girl but that is my max on "roughing it." I guess that's what happens when your raised by a Mom with OCD.

I've come to learn that anytime my phone rings before 7:30 am that I should be prepared to handle bad news from the other end and this morning was no exception. As soon as I heard Pops voice I knew it was about Grandma.

We will all miss Grandma Weaver! She is one of the most amazing women I have ever met. Before Dan and I were ever married she began treating me as her own and filled a spot in my life that had been missing. For selfish reasons I would have kept her here longer, but I know that she has so much to look forward to on the other side. Carter said it best this morning when I told him "Mom, I bet Heavenly Father is so happy" I am certain of that!!!

What is it about piggys that totally make me smile?!

I love this little lady!!!

Almost 15 Months, she is constantly jabbering

here are the words we can understand so far...

Hi, Daddy, Addy, dink (drink), Mum (Mom), dis (this).

I haven't been able to keep up with blogging with all the crazy

fun summer activities and reunions, but

I'll get around to it soon...

I mean REALLY! is our TV not big enough? Is our couch too far away? I almost told them the lie someone told me when I was little. "If you sit too close to the TV you'll go blind!" But instead I just giggled and felt grateful that they love to play together.

I'm sure Carter would have joined her up there too if he could have figured out how to do it without putting his Wii remotes down.
