June 2026

 What a great month.  We started off summer in a full sprint.  Abby went climbing, had cupcake wars with DPMS Grit girls, went to Toy Story 5 opening night, went to the temple, learning that reading books is amazing, and did a lot of mnt biking.  Deer Valley with friends, riding Porter Rockwell and the Murdock trail to get food at Bajios in Provo, the Pioneer Trail in Park City and tons of riding her in Draper.  She also finished off her "All of Me" song in her piano recital.  



















Ella went to Trek.  Then she left for 3 weeks in Colombia.  That gets its own post! 


As for Darren and I, we heard Icy Hot play in Angs backyard.  Lots of loud fun silly music.  We had some bad fires that put ash and smoke into the air.  Darren got to go to Texas with Savage and see some cool spots. We went for a ride with Katie in Alpine that was fantastic and beautiful.  But mostly Darren and I worked on house projects.  Lots of things to do before Tyler gets home.

Subway with the Rupps

My favorite cousin Jeff and his amazing wife Julie- got 12 permits for Subway on a Saturday.  I had to jump in and guide them since they didn't know what they had really gotten into.  What a treat.  What a strong group.  We were very preppared thanks to Jeffs planning.  He couldn't even come because he shattered his ankle a few weeks prior to this trip.  A group of 12, with wetsuits, and not a lot of rappelling experience- - - They CRUSHED it!  We were done in under 8.5 hours.
