Where has the time gone?

It seems like summer just began a few weeks ago but somehow the excitement of back to school shopping and the first day of Kindergarten for Michael is now upon us.  But more about that fun adventure another time.  For now let's recap the last few busy weeks.

We had a fast trip up to Utah for a beautiful wedding in the Mount Timpanogos Temple for one of Robert's sisters.  (If you live in Utah and were hoping for a visit and didn't get one, I'm sorry!  We were only there for one full day and that was for the wedding, we tried to see as many people as we could but, well, you know how it goes.  So, sorry, we'll try to see you next time.)  For the wedding I sewed a dress for me and one for Katelyn.  They turned out really good I think.

We stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Knighten's home.  The kids sure LOVE swinging from their huge tree.

And they had some great Daddy play time.

On the way to Utah and on the way home we stopped in Alamo to enjoy some time with Grandma and Grandpa Biggs.  The kids played in the BIG sprinklers, played in the dirt, rode bikes and rode horses.  We all really enjoyed the time there.

On our trip we decided to make it a fun trip and see a few things along the way. (We have decided to enjoy the drive more not just see how fast we can get to our destination, so this is how we do it!)

We took a scenic drive through Dixie National Forest.  (Located in Southern Utah)

and stopped at Sunset View Point.

It was windy but beautiful.

We explored the Valley of Fire (Located near Las Vegas, NV)

It was HOT!!

We stopped for a quick view of Cathedral Gorge (North of Panaca, NV) And one day we'll go back for a better look when we have more time.

We had a really great trip!!
