Home Sweet Home

I'm so glad to be back home, but we did have a nice time in Utah.
Here's what we did...
Enjoyed the 95 degree weather at the pool (with no humidity)! Colin loved the diving board. We also went to Scera pool in Orem, but I forgot my camera. That pool is the best. It has a lazy river, splash park, lap pool, diving boards, water slides and a shallow pool for the little ones.

Here is Colin and Cameron with their cousin Bridger (in the middle).

We took the boys on the tour of the Conference Center on Temple Square. It was fun to watch Colins mind working. He loved facts about how many people it can sit (21,000) and it really touched home with him that this is where he sees our prophet speak from during general conference! Here they are walking on the top of the center.

Austin loved crawling in the grass, although his little legs did get a bit irritated. I think I might print this picture for my wall!


Enjoyed time with Aunt Megan.

We went to Red Lobster with all of the adults in my family. It was a great time. Our bellies hurt afterwards from laughing so much. We were surprised they didn't kick us out. This is my cousin Josh and his wife Jalyce. She is joking about the 'blog'. She's making a B with her fingers! B for Blog!!! I love her to death. They are adopting a baby girl the end of this month. We are all so excited for them.

Chris and I went biking up Hobble Creek Canyon one day. He also went with his brother down the mountain. He absolutely loved that. I'm not quite that adventurous on the bike to take on the mountain.
The boys had fun on Uncle Scotts' motorcycle for a few minutes before it died!

My boys absolutely loved playing with my cousins Dylan and Jordan. They got to have a sleep over and go bowling the next day!

We went to Chris grandparents cabin in Heber mtn. for a night. The best part is the dune buggie...not to mention the 4-wheelers that Scott borrowed from work for the weekend. I didn't get a picture of that either, but they were beauties.

And we ran a 5k with (from back left to right) Chris, Megan, their cousin Heidi

Me, Sharae & husband Scott, their son Bridger and their cousin Hilary. Nice job everyone. I know it was mine, Megan and Chris' first race. We missed you Ashley and Chris!

Maybe we should've taken a picture before we got all sweaty!

Oh, and last but not least the 'highlight' of my week (along with shopping) was getting my hair done at my cousins' salon in Draper. I was very pleased with the results. I did highlights and lowlights...a bit of auburn and ash coloring. I got the cut I've been trying to get for a while from other stylists. I got short layers so I can flip all of them out or do half out and half under. Thanks Hope!

We also saw our dear friends Ryan and Nina. I wanted to see a long time friend that just moved back to Utah that we've known for about 7 years. But her kids were sick so it didn't work out. I was bummed...maybe next time Kathy!

Allison @ Allie Browns Layouts said...

Love the pictures! I can tell that you had a fun, eventful time out there in Utah. How nice it must've been to have 95 degree weather with no humidity...I can only dream. And I thought your hair looked different on Sunday! It looks great. I just love it. If we don't see you tomorrow for the ward breakfast, have a great 4th of July!!

Donna said...

Wow...what a great time. You are so cute Mindy!! Glad to see all the fun you are having. Good looking family!

Mindy said...

Allison, I think my hair is looking different because of the lovely humidity here. I can't quite style it like I did in Utah! What can you do!

DaveAly said...

Ton's of Fun...I wish we could have met you guys up there. We are dying in the heat in Vegas, right now.

Mindy said...

Aly, do you have a blog? let me know! yes, we were sad that you weren't visiting at the same time, but we also didn't make it to Vegas to see my grandma either. If you ever want to come to Texas let us know!
