Hike to Timpanogos Cave and Drive up the Nebo Loop

          

I promise I was there!

A quarter of the way there!











The Heart of Timpanogos Cave!



Gorgeous Mt. Nebo and beautiful wild flowers.








I love these quaking Aspens!

4th of July Parade and fireworks

It was so much fun to be back in Utah for the 4th of July! (However, we missed being with our Twin Oaks friends for the fireworks in the park.) We spent the morning at the Provo parade with the Anson clan and finished the day off with the Tregaskis side at our annual neighborhood BBQ and cul-de-sac fireworks. It was great! Emmy met one of my dearest friend's son, Jack. Sparklers flew and they will one day be a match made in Heaven. The kids had so much fun with glow sticks, ribs, Jell-O, watermelon, cousins, friends, squirt guns, treats and more treats! Happy Birthday America!

 

Only in Utah would these wonderful missionaries get a standing ovation in the parade. I loved it!

         







I love that these boys are all fans of different teams!

June Birthday Portraits

I had a lot of fun taking pictures of Caleb and Emeline, my June babies. Caleb loves to read and is always reading several series at a time. Emeline loves being outside and anything beautiful. A blog is for those times when you take a million photos and love all of them, and need some place to put them!

Caleb's Rocket and Arrow of Light

Caleb is basically the coolest kid! He earned money and bought a rocket kit online and then built them with a bit of help from his cousin, Ben. He waited a long time to be able to launch them and we were finally able to do it at Timpanogos High School.

         



    





Caleb also worked hard and earned his Arrow of Light! We are so proud of everything he has accomplished and the great young man he has become!
