Playing Catch-Up!

Well, we've been gone for so long that I don't even know where to start! My very cute sister, Sadie, came from Utah for  visit at the end of July. We did a bajillion different fun things, including shopping, tubing, hiking, bike rides, swimming at the lake, sight seeing, Duluth, Stillwater, ... if only we had more time! One of my favorite pics is from the sculpture garden in Minneapolis:


Sadie and I are on this side of the glass, 
Neal is on the other side of the glass. 


and then we laughed our heads off
because we are hilarious


We also ate lots of good food while Sadie was here.
Check out miss g's face! She is so funny.



"clink" those fries


We drove back to Utah since Neal finally had a break from law school
We started out our vacation with a camping trip in the mountains right by Moab, UT



Hiking, Fishing, S'mores, Dutch ovens, Tents
and
Extended family
(Food allergies, anyone?)
We had such a great time camping!

We Went to "Mootah"!



First things first! Hair time! 
(Huge thanks to Neals Dad for helping us get to utah so quick!) 
Four Up-Do's for the morning of the wedding, 
plus my own hair.... 
but that doesn't really count...
It was just so much fun being with my sisters and momma


Caren's sealing was so nice,
we loved seeing all the family that was there
G loved playing with her cousins!


We got to do so many fun things while we were in Utah,
of course including the wedding and fun reception, celebrated our 3 year anniversary, hanging out at the bike shop, going on walks, visiting our family and friends, going to the Opera, playing with cute little cousins, sewing projects, seeing the Salt Lake Temple, playing in Grandmas yard, going to my home ward, hearing my little sis solo with her huge choir, eating cotton candy, going to Naomi's kindergarten graduation, renovating a dresser,  shopping with Grandma, doing lots of haircuts, 


Eating "smack and sneeze" with the cousins
at grandma's house


Neal got to help my parents rip out their bathroom
for a much needed renovation
(he needs to work on his "excited face")


G got to ride in Grandpas truck with Elyanna and Michael!
(helping the newly weds move in...)


We got to go eat with Grandma and Grandpa a few times,
our favorite spot they introduced us to was a place in Spanish Fork
a sandwich shop called Jacksies. 
Yum-O. Feed me now.


Did an epic hair cut on Caren 
when she got back from her honeymoon.
14 inches donated to Locks of Love.
She looks so adorable in her new style!


My fav- hangin' with the fam

Needless to say, it was a very busy week and a half! 


And on the way back to Minne we stopped for a day 
at Mt. Rushmore. Pretty neat! 
Not much to do at the monument itself,
but we hope to go back again sometime 
and do some hiking in the area.
What a fun way to start our summer!
