Mt Timp:* Warning lots of pictures*

One of the fun things we did this summer was to hike Mt. Timpingous. I have never done the hike or seen the cave so I was pretty excited. We had lots of little people and were probably out numbered, but somehow we all made it back. We got up early that morning and got all of the kiddo's and adults out of the house. All of the nieces and nephews minus Madison were present. We started up the hike and I was thinking "this is going to be a breeze". Yeah right! I was feeling the burn when my little nephew wanted to be picked up. I guess I should specify, he is NOT little, he is solid. After many rest stops for the "kids" and many children being pick up and put down, we finally made it to the top. Going through the cave was awesome to see everything. There are some tight spots to fit into and I am surprised we all made it though. After a quick rest we headed back down the mountain. That seemed to take forever and it started to rain. The rain was a welcome after the hot summer sun. After we all made it down it was off to home for some much needed napping. All in all, I think he had a lot of fun.

Baptism

My oldest nephew Kade made the decision to be baptised this summer. He wanted all of his family to be there so he was baptised in Utah (he lives in Denver). The spirit was so strong reguardless of all the little kids crying and running around. His dad baptised him, and all of the other cousins were able to get up close to the font and see everything. Congratulation Kade on becoming a member of the church! You will never regret your decision!

Proud grandparents,they've waited almost 10 yrs to see another grandchild baptised

Proud parents, 1st child to be baptised

Wedding

My younger cousin was able to be married and sealed in the Bountiful Temple during the summer. I wasn't able to witness it, but I can only imagine how beautiful it was. I can still remember our wedding and how special it was. I can't remember all that was said, but i will never forget the feelings that I felt. I knew without a doubt that I was making the right decision by marring Adam.
On another note, at the reception, it was a family reunion. I was able to see most of my cousins and their families. I don't think I have seen some of them since our wedding, and we all live in the same county pretty much.
