Can we say...Road Trip

We did this once already but had the bug to do it again. It was short this time though but still nice to get out and drive. We made it to Evanston Wyoming and it was fun. I want to go back though and check out their River walk.

Soccer

Julia has started another season of Soccer. She is loving it more this year and is really doing a lot better. She has only had one game (she missed the first due to the 1/2 Marathon) but she has been to a couple of practices and has really improved. I am so proud of her. Catch more photos as the season progresses.

Labor Day

My brother and his wife (Gary and Shawna) live in Ephraim and they invited everyone in the family down to their house to ride 4-wheelers and hang out. I had never 4-wheeled before so we had just planned to go down and hang out. Well my parents rented me a 4-wheeler. Crazy people! I told them I had no idea how to ride it and they assured me it was easy and fun. Crazy people!! I got the quick training and just rode around the street a couple of times and then gave Julia and Connor rides around the street. Then it was time to go. I thought I was ok taking Julia with me thinking that Shawna would take it easy on me because I was new to the sport. Crazy people!!! Well we went up a mountain. You can't take it easy up a mountain. I was so freaked out the whole time I had Julia with me that it wasn't much fun. It was a little but not a lot. After our first stop I decided that Julia had to go. Thankfully my 18 year old niece, who is braver than I am, said she would gladly take Julia. This allowed me to actually get a better feel for how the 4-wheeler handles. Unfortunately to Shawna's dismay it did not make me any faster. She said I was the slowest person she had ever ridden along side of. Eventually we made it up to the top of the mountain and it was GORGEOUS and way worth the ride. I did have fun and I learned a lot I will probably do it again! Crazy People!!

Julia's Baptism

What a great day this was for Julia and our family. It was weird for me to realize that I have a daughter that is baptized now when I can still remember my baptism, not like it was yesterday but you get the idea. We had over 50 people there and we pretty much filled the entire chapel with just guests for Julia. Steve did everything perfect and now she is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We love you Julia!!!
