Sunday Hikes

Every Sunday we try to go on a hike somewhere up in the canyon.  It's such a great family bonding activity and has become a highlight of my week.  

On this particular sunday, we decided to hike the trail to Stewart Falls.  And I have to say this is one of my favorites...it's filled with groves of aspens and pines, and covered with lush ferns and flowers.  It's a refreshing escape from the Utah Valley desert.  Then like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, the trail opens up to Stewart Falls, a beautiful waterfall that makes the 1.5 mile trek worth every step....

Ahhhhhhhhh........

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!  Hope everyone had lots of watermelon and fireworks!

For our 4th of July, Grandma Georgia and Reid came to visit. We did lots of really cool stuff.  We went to a picnic with a huge bouncy red thing, and then we went for a drive on the Alpine loop through Sundance, and Mommy and Daddy ran a 10k race at the Freedom Festival.  I didn't get to see fireworks because it was my bedtime, but Mommy and Daddy did.  Bet they were really cool!

It was so nice to see Georgia Grandma and Reid.  Can't wait to see them again! 

Mommy and Daddy did really well at the Freedom Run.  Mommy ran it in 1:04:34 and Daddy ran it in 44:35.  Way to go! 

Here are pictures from the picnic...

This is the big red bouncy thing I was telling you about...

These pictures are from our drive on the Alpine Loop and Sundance...

I would like add a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of those that have sacrificed their lives for me and my family's freedom.  I am so grateful to live in such a wonderful country.  God Bless and Happy Birthday America!

Father's Day in Colorado

Mommy and Daddy wanted to surprise Grandpa Calley for Father's Day, so we drove to Colorado for the weekend! 

We had a super fun time... went on a hike, walked in a pet parade and watched Daddy play "cornholio" ball with my Uncles and nephew, Brodrick.  

And as always, Mommy took tons of pictures...

Here's one of the doggies from the pet parade....awww.

Memorial Day Weekend in Michigan

For Memorial Day weekend we went to my Uncle Pat and Aunt Marybeth's house in Michigan. The last time I saw everyone was last 4th of July; so, it was great to see everybody and hang out with my cousins, Jacob and Caleb.  And what a super bonus...I got to celebrate Caleb's birthday, too!  That ice cream cake was YUMMY!   Here's some pictures from our trip...
