A month really?

As I'm looking through pictures I haven't posted yet, I can't figure out how to catch up, it exhausts me to think about it. I'm going for highlights here and hopefully for my own benefit, I'll fill in more details later. We had a wonderful time in Utah. It was too short. We spent so much time with my parents and my family, it was so great. I still can't get over the injustice of the swine flu though. Our very good friend Brittany contracted said illness while we were there which limited our time with her family, how dare she right? Here we go.
Ashby graduated from kindergarten on June 11th. Here she is with her teacher Miss Galie, we will miss her next year.


We had breakfast up in Big Cottonwood Canyon. I love that mountain air.

We went swimming and barbecuing with my Ricks College roommates. Look at all those kids, the five of us have been busy. I love this picture because it illustrates how difficult it is to get kids to do something all at the same time. Thanks again Jill for offering your house and pool. The party is something the girls still consistently say was one of their favorite things about the trip.



Luke and the other little ones were busy with this chair at Jill's house. Isn't is just the right size?



We were able to attend the Oquirrh Mountain temple open house. I remember going to the Bountiful temple open house; I hope this is something my kids will remember for a life time. The view from the temple grounds was truly amazing.

We were able to celebrate Kid's Day while in Utah. We took the kids to the Children's Museum. This was one of the few activities they did together.
Did you know a kiddie pool was so fun? Swimming on Kid's Day.
We try to ride a carousel on Kid's Day, here's Avs.

Here's Ashby. She chose the dragon, man I love the dragon!

Yes the swine flu really did interfere with all of our plans. I think this can only mean one thing. A trip back to Salt Lake very soon! It was beyond good to see you guys, we miss you!

The butterfly shirts in your pics tripped me out for a quick second..."Hey Taylor has that shirt!" Well, duhhhhhh, of course she does!
