Kennady's 1st Haircut!

Kennady got her first hair cut from my sister Chelsey. It was so cute, she cut it into kind of a A line for babies! It was fun, Kennady did pretty good. She just kept trying to look at Chelsey when she was cutting her hair! Then Kennady and Boston got in the tub and got all clean together! They were so cute and funny in there. They are going to be the best of friends when they get older, I am so excited!

Raging Waters

We went to Raging Waters for Kevins birthday with my siblings. It reminded me of highschool! Except that this time I didn't go off the scary rides! I only went on the safer ones. Chad, Ty and Kevin all went on the scary rides, while they left us to go in the wave pool!

Cabin

My family bought 3 4-wheelers this summer, and so we went to my brother in laws parents cabin up in the Uintahs by Mirror Lake and we went 4-wheeling. We had a lot of fun. We rented one 4 wheeler and so 8 people could go at one time. My parents took their black lab Cooper, and my sister brought her puppy yellow lab Sam. They had fun together. This vacation Kennady decided that she could walk!! She would always take a few steps and go down, but this trip she just watched my neice Andalynn run around so I think she decided that hey I could do that! We went to Trial River falls by Trial Lake, it was so pretty. We got to hike around the falls, and play in the water. It was really cold, I didn't get in!

St. George

Ty's family this year for a family vacation decided to go to their house in St. George and hang out. We rented 4 wheelers, and swam and just relaxed. We had a lot of fun playing Rock band, swimming and using the 4 wheelers. It was really hot down there so we took the 4 wheelers out more in the morning and evening. Kennady had a great time, this trip was when she really decided she liked to crawl up the stairs!

Washington DC/New York

This year my parents decided to take ty and I, and my sister Chelsey and her husband Kevin to Washington DC. My mom goes there a couple times a year for work, and we decided to tag along! We decided that since we were so close to New York to also spend a few days in New York and go to a Yankees game, and see the sights. We spent 3 days in DC and saw everything we could see in those 3 days. We went to Ghettysburg for a day and learned about the battle of Ghettysburg, it was very interesting. We had a lot of fun, but did a lot of walking! It was very tiring. We flew to New York and went to a Yankee game, they played the Blue Jays and won! It was exciting game, they were down 1 with 2 out, 2 strikes in the bottom of the 9th, when the Giambino hit a homerun to win! We sat at the very top of the stadium, there was no one behind us. We all enjoyed the game, but at times I think we all fell asleep! We were so tired. After the game we were outside and saw Derek Jeter drive away in his Ford Explorer! We walked around times square, and did a 5 hour tour of Manhattan. It was very fast, but very thorough! New York is a lot like I imagined, very busy, and people honking all the time! They even have signs that say "no honking" with a fine! DC was also very cool, it was a lot different than I expected. All the museums were amazing, and the Memorials were really fascinating and cool too.

Havasupai Falls

We had a very fun and exciting summer this year. We started the summer out over Memorial Day weekend in Havasupai Falls, it is a Indian reservation down in the Grand Canyon. We went just Ty and I, Parker, Heidi, Trent, 5 months pregnant Megan, and Danny. We had a lot of fun. We started out by driving all night it took about 11 hours to get the parking lot of the trailhead. We got to the parking lot about 4 am and started the 10 mile hike! We hiked 10 miles with our 35-50 lb packs! It was so hard, but so worth it. Megan did so good and she hiked all the way in, but she just had a camelback, poor Trent carried all of his and Meg's stuff. You first come to an Indian village and you pay for the campsite, and then hike 2 more miles to the falls. We finally got to the falls and campground and it was so pretty, we were so excited and we set up our tents and took a nap for 5 hours! Most of the days were good weather, but a few days we had some rain. We made the most of it in our ponchos and tried to play games. One day we hiked down to these Moony and Beaver falls. It was so pretty, but part of the hike was so scary and steep! We ended up at the end of the week being so tired that we decided that we didn't want to hike back out. In the village they offer a chance to fly out in a helicopter, so we all decided that is what we wanted to do. We got back to the village and played basketball in the village with some Indian kids. It was so pretty to think we were playing basketball in the middle of the Grand Canyon. We finally got on the helicopter and it was such a cool ride. We drove back to St George and stayed over night and then went home the next day. We left Kennady with Ty's and my family, it was so hard and we missed her so much. But we also had a lot of fun together just us.
