ITS A GIRL

ASHLEY THREW A GENDER REVEALING PARTY A HER HOUSE. WE CHOOSE A COLORED FLAG WHETHER WE THOUGHT IT WAS A BOY OR A GIRL. THEN WE HEADED OUTSIDE FOR NICK AND HEATHER TO CUT THE STRING AND OPEN THE BOX THAT WOULD SHARE THE SECRET! WE ALL THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A BOY. HOLY COW!!! EXCITING!! NOW WE WILL HAVE 2 BOYS AND 1 GIRL GRANDBABIES!!!!! IT WAS A FUN NIGHT!
THEY WERE BOTH SO HAPPY, THE LITTLE GIRL IS HEALTHY AND VERY DARLING EVEN IN THE WOMB!

BRIDAL VEIL FALLS

Since I have lived in Utah twice now and never hiked to Bridal Veil Falls I had it on my summer to do list.
Easy hike of course, just my style. Isaac had to get as far up as he dared, luckily he didn't dare too far.
The boys had a blast. I was beautiful and refreshing but so stinking cold too.
Part of the gang!
"Should I go higher?" He did finally slip and get soaked but not hurt.
Rescuing a flip flop that was heading down.

Definitely a beautiful spot and glad I filly went, I'm sure I will be going more often.

TUBING

Our neighbors invited us to the lake with them and we had a blast.
I made sure to go with the kids this time, last time I went with them Mike beat the heck out of me and was trying to dump his wife and I the whole time. Of course my neck hurt for two weeks after. Lesson learned, ride with the kids!

Strawberry

We had never been up to Strawberry so we headed up with Heidi and gang. It was windy but still pretty.
"I dare you to get in!" They all did and it was good enough just jumping on and off the docks.
Amazing all the beautiful lakes tucked away!
