Playing games till 1:oo a.m. (too bad we didn't get a picture of our ruthless game of spoons!)

It's so great to be a part of a family who supports and loves being together. Friday night was so much fun and we hope that Glenn felt that love and support. You're awesome Glenn and we wish you all the success in the world!

Hiking up Lake Mountain

Saturday we arrived at B and M's around 4:20 p.m. With back packs and kids in tow we drove to the foot of the Lake Mountains and decided we would conquer the small beast. As we started to hike we all realized (the adults) that this was going to be a piece of cake for the kids. For some of us, another story. As the kids were racing to the top we started to re-think the whole "getting to the top of the small beast part" and decided on a smaller mountain to the left. (We decided the next hike we'll get a little closer to the top and by the end of the summer we will conquer the beast. Sounds good, huh)



The kids at the top, and they didn't even break a sweat!
Here's the rest of us just barely making it to the top.


What a happy camper on the back of his dad's back. He was such a good boy.
When we got to the tip top, we had to give everyone high fives. We did awesome, and the view was awesome as well.
You can see here where B and Family live. Come on, he's pointing right at it.

We might be fat, but we can still hike a mountain!

After some rest, snacks, and a few snapshot moments we made our way back down. With a few falls here and there, everyone made it down safe and sound and with another great memory. We finished off the night with Pizza and Brownies (thanks M)

This was a great idea B we had a ton of fun!

A post with pictures, finally!

With not one drop of Internet access at my new place of employment it's few and far between that I'm able to make post's to my blog. I miss posting at least once a week. Now I post, if I'm lucky, three times a month. Man, I can't wait to be home. Life has been speeding past as normal and with family and friends it's full of birthday's, baptisms, blessings, births, and more. We've had friends and family over the past few weeks giving birth to their third or fourth child. We just found out that a good friend of ours who has a set of twin girls and two boys is expecting another set of twins. Whoa Nelly!! We've been (I should just say me) enjoying all our informative adoptions classes that are held every Thursday for 2 hours. We're slowly working on finishing up our bathroom. And we've been really excited for the warm weather so we can take all our friends camping (they seem to be the ones who want to get out and do that with us the most).

Here's a few pictures that we took over the past few weeks (nothing too exciting)
All the local brothers came over after priesthood for pizza. Scott and Brett were really enjoying themselves. I guess if you eat too much pizza it makes your true character come out.




We all went over to Grandma and Grandpa Harmon's for lunch in-between conference sessions. The BBQ was great and we really enjoyed the company. It was great to see Mike and Danielle and the kids. We're so excited to have them down here with us. (see that empty spot next to Scott and I? That's where Ty, Kim, and family go.)

Scott had another wedding to shoot this weekend but this time it was family of family. Isn't it amazing how Scott and Andrew look like brothers. They act like brothers!! Scott loved this shot he took of the bride and groom.


Visiting Scott during the reception. Didn't really know the family, but enjoyed the food and the photographer!!


Here we are up at Deer Valley @ the Stein Erickson Lodge where Spencer and Rheina held their engagement party. It was beautiful. The food was great, the atmosphere spectacular, and we were surrounded by people who were catching the last few days of skiing. We wished everyone in the family could have been there!

Well, until next time!
