July 2020

Here are a few things from July.  No particular order... just a fun and busy and HOT month.  Darren took the kids up to Gloria Falls.  They had already gone but he hadn't.  Super glad they had fun.  Then they came home and slept outside.  I was in the Uintas with my girl friends.   

Darren got out on a few beautiful runs.  He had some great bike rides with Tyler.  

We loved having beautiful big blossoms on our Magnolia Tree.  A tree we both love so much.  My kids are growing.  Tylers feet are just big!  I have been enjoying Crossfit.  

Aunt Jenny is the best and took the girls shopping.  They learned all kinds of good tips of how to find good deals.  Ella had 4 teeth pulled to prepare for braces.  She is one tough girl!

I love seeing my girls be together.  Painting their nails on the lawn.  I love my garden and seeing it grow.  I love talking to my friends from high school- Kirsty in Australia and Tawnie in St George.  I love good food especially when it comes from my garden!

Dead Horse Lake- Uintas

I could write so many details about this amazing trip.  It was full with so many memories.  But here is the short version.  We hiked in 9 miles to Dead Horse Lake.  It just got more and more beautiful.  As we got closer to the lake the wild flowers were amazing.  The waterfall just below the lake was beautiful.  It was so nice to talk as we hiked.  We set up our tent and had some good dinner with a fire.  The next day we slept in and then hiked up Dead Horse Pass.  It looked terrible but wasn't that bad.  We found two different lakes we could swim in.  We met some people who were hiking the Highline trail.  Over 100 miles over the Uintas.  I would love to do it next year.  The third day we hiked back out.  It is good for you soul to be outside and to have good friends to talk to.  Katie brought her little dog Nimh.  She was a great little hiker.  Her little legs got tired!
