July Happenings Part 2

We met Skyler, Catie, and Steven in Salt Lake City Cottonwood Canyon, to hike to Lake Solitude. After passing at least a hundred bikers and runners through the canyon, we loaded Sam in her hiking backpack (which she absolutely loved!) and began our hike. It was beautiful and refreshing and fun.

She held on to her toy duck the whole time, without throwing it once!

This one's for dad! We figured he'd enjoy a picture of a tractor, and his daughters, all in one!

Taylin is done with school for the year and is headed to Georgia to enjoy her last month there before she departs for the MTC and California!

Saying goodbye to her truck for a year and a half.

Skyler is gonna kill me for posting this. But it's really funny! We went to Savers with Taylin and we found this wedding dress for 25 bucks! We made Skyler try it on, and it fit her PERFECTLY. We seriously debated if we should get it and hold onto it until her special day comes. We decided to put it back on the rack....for a few reasons: 1. She'd have to store it in her closet, which is already limited in space, and her roommates might think it's odd that she's not even dating anyone but already has a wedding dress. 2. Don't want to jinx anything. 3. She's not even dating anyone, and perfectly happy with that. 4. 25 bucks is a big deal in poor college student world. I mean, that could be a weeks worth of groceries. So we just made her smile and took a picture. (She's got a pretty good eye roll going on, don't ya think?)

Late night sisterly fun

Saying goodbye to Taylin at the airport! Bitter sweet. We are so excited for her, but will miss her greatly. Next time we see her she will be set apart as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Skyler has many gifts and talents. One of them is her eye roll.

 Some other random things for July. Which, time out! I can't believe it's already July. This year has FLOWN by. Speaking of flying, Sam loves riding in her stroller (I may have already posted this, I can't remember...oh well.) so we go for a jog mostly every day. She looks like she's saying "go faster, mom!"

What a cutie!

We had a Johnson get together for Caleb's farewell. Here are all the cousins.

Ok, we'll end here for now. Until next time!

Love, Aubrey
