| Hike to top of Squaw Peak with Andrew and Andrew last October (elevation gain = 1,190 feet in 1.2 miles) |
I really enjoyed my mother-in-law's post over at the Curtis family blog. She provided a little over a month's worth of updates (via pictures) highlighting all the recent family celebrations. I'm going to steal her idea and show you some pictures of our recent weekend adventures.
We've probably done more, but I either a.) can't remember or b.) have no photographic evidence, so you are going to have to make do with these:
 |
| May 19 - One of our first weekends with no where to be and nothing we had to do We decided to buy a shower curtain, sad highlight, but there it is |
 |
| Here's our old shower curtain... or the back of it. It was actually dark brown |
 |
| May 13 - Went to Syracuse, UT for Mother's Day |
 |
| Andrew's parents being hams for the camera while mom opened her mother's day gifts |
 |
| Eliza really liked the flowers mom got for mother's day Isn't she darling! |
 |
| May 12 - Driving to see The Avenger's...Can you tell Andrew's excited? Can't see it in this picture, but my legs are pointed towards the other window, Ashley is sitting on my lap, Dad is sitting where my legs normally would be, and Andrew's squished against the door |
 |
| May 8 - We get our Vitamix back! Sent it off to be fixed on May 1 Really, Really missed it when it was gone, think I'm too attached |
 |
| May 5 - Rugby Quarterfinals: BYU (103) vs UCLA (24) |
 |
| May 4 - Andrew's book falls on his head in the middle of the night. He wakes up thinking I threw it at him. We go to our friends house to play the best game of all time: Hand and Foot Andrew tells them about my abusive ways :) |
 |
| April 27-28 - Work retreat with Andrew's boss and his wife in Midway, Utah |
 |
| While the Andrews brainstorm about work (yes, Andrew's boss is also named Andrew), Kathryn (the other Andrew's wife) and I decide to go for a hike... there were a lot of fallen logs to climb over |
 |
| That kinda looks like a trail, right? We ended up forging our own trail for a bit and the path we took was very steep |
 |
| We decided to turn around when we got to the top of a hill Midway is down in the valley between the trees Hard to see because of my stupid camera phone |
 |
| April 21 - Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival with friends and my little bro This is Kendra's picture, I forgot my camera |
 |
| April 21 - Rugby Game: BYU (99) vs Colorado (12) |
 |
| April 13 - 15 Road trip to Arizona with the parents
We had a lot of fun talking and listening to The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchet |
 |
| Glen Canyon Dam in Northern AZ |
 |
| Glen Canyon Bridge |

 |
| AZ terrain as seen through car window |
 |
| Stopped at Cove Fort in Southern Utah |
 |
| One of my favorite rooms at Cove Fort was the laundry Our guide told us about the true meaning of recycling: They used ticking cloth to cover mattress, when cloth wore out it was cut up to make trousers, when pants wore out, they were cut into strips and woven on loom to make rugs... |
 |
| Rugs woven out of the old ticking were used all over the fort When they wore out, they were burned for heat, the ashes were extracted from the bottom of the box and used to make lye soap for washing Don't get me started on the hair art or hair in pin cushions used to keep needles sharp and rust free (oily scalp anyone?) |
 |
| April 14 - Our nephew Isaac is baptized as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints I was honored that Isaac asked me to speak ("borrowed" this picture from Amy's blog) |
 |
| Isaac gives crazy street performer change |
 |
| Andrew's sister Amy and her husband Joseph grilling up some tasty food Joseph used mesquite wood from a tree in their yard |
 |
| Little Megan is adorable... I think she knows it :) |
 |
| Lydia showed us that she is the fastest bike rider in the WORLD |
 |
| Uncle Andrew asked to pose with the world's fastest bike rider Should have gotten this autographed! |
 |
| Not to be outdone, Isaac showed off his tricks and skills with bike stunts He can weave through lines of people and high five, all while riding fast |
 |
| Bang! |
 |
| April 7 - We tie dye shirts for fun and take some silly pictures the next day with Andrew's family |
 |
| We celebrate Ashley's 21st birthday by playing drinking games without alcohol |
 |
| April 6 - Zorro, The Musical. Went with friends The performance was great, but I kept getting distracted by Zorro's pasty chest... He should have gotten a spray tan |
 |
| March 24 - Hike up the canyon somewhere with little bro Took Big Springs Trail |
 |
| Andrew carried our water |
 |
| Me plodding along. I am so out of shape! |
 |
