Trip to cascade springs

Saturday we went up to cascade springs in American Fork Canyon. It is so beautiful there. I suggest it to anyone who is looking for somewhere to go. Its also cooler up there so that is a plus in itself. The drive is so pretty up there and plenty of turns so becareful if you have a kid like Brooke who gets car sick alot. We had to stop along the way so she could get some fresh air. And when we got there I pulled out my camera to take some beautiful pics but my battery was dead so these pics are off the web. I just love Utah for the many places you can go to see natural beauty and enjoy the outdoors. We are trying to take advantage this summer of getting out of the house and doing things around here. Hope everyone else is enjoying their summer also.

Art City Days

Last week was Art City Days was in Springville last week so we took the girls. They had so much fun. Ferris Wheels and Carosals what more can make you feel like a kid again. As you can tell by the ferris wheel picture at first Brooke wasn't sure about riding it after the whole day talking about riding it with daddy but she warmed up and had fun. I love the innocence of children.

Don't You just love the Mountains

On Saturday while Mike was home we went out to Aspen Grove which is right around Sundance. It is a 20 minute drive from where we live. So close and so beautiful. We just walked along the trail and the girls had so much fun. I love how beautiful the weather is right now and how green and pretty things are. Before long it will be too hot to go outside so until then we will enjoy it.

Bath Time

My girls love to take a bath. All you have to say is the word and they run up and start taking off their clothes. Its so cute. Sydney loves to put her ears below the water and listen to the sounds. Its a constant battle to get her to sit up in the tub.

A trip to the zoo

Brooke's favorite
Looking at Monkey's


We all went to the zoo on the hottest day of the year so far. The girls had fun. We were just happy that there was a breeze that day.

What we've been up to.

Its been a while since my last post sorry! We have been enjoying the beautiful weather here in Utah on and off. It will be beautiful for two days and then either rain or have a lot of wind but I'm not complaining I think it is so beautiful here. I love the mountains and the seasons here. When the weather is good we try to stay outside most of the day and go on good walks in the evening. This week we got to see Tanya Staples on Sunday. It was so good to see her. She is such a great friend to me. Love ya T! Thanks for letting us come and visit at your sisters. We also had a yard sale on Saturday which most of you may know I'm not a yard sale kind of person but we needed to get rid of stuff. It was sucessful. Other than that nothing too exciting has gone on
