UTAH!!!

We took a trip to Utah to visit the Moreaus. Every night we (the kids lead by Stacie and Brianna) dressed up and put on short little plays.... this was one of them:)

We did a chest bump when we saw each other! then we dressed up like fat people from the south.

We are BEASTS!

We sang "She'll be Coming 'round the Mountian". Dang we were good.

I did Kathren's hair for church... she hated it.

The Oquirrh (pronounced oaker) temple. We went there for the open house before it was dedicated. Angel Moroni was struck by lightning the day before we went leaving part of him black. If you look carefully at the picture and squint your eyes you

still can't see it.

BFFE:D

FFE :)

I look good but I quit after 3 shots.... I was horrible.

Dont let this fool you, I could never pass off as a hunter. I didn't even shoot the fake gun right. The deer are safe around me not matter what kind of gun I carry.

We went to Cabelas and bought the most randomist thing... a toilet seat that snaps on top of a 5 gallon bucket. Sweeeeeet!

Timpanogos cave adventure

I know these are out of order. I tried. We recently drove 12 hours to visit the Moreaus in Utah and had the opportunity to hike to Timpanogos Cave and walk through the 3/4 mile cavern.

Here what the inside of the cave looked like, at least this part. This his was called the heart of the cave.

Next to some rock that stood like a pillar.

Ok, now that you saw how our steep up hill hike payed off ... here is how we got there. (like I said... everything is out of order) Imagine us moving forward.

Up, up, up!

We made it!

Once we made it to the caves, we treated ourselves to lollipops.

Then we walked down, down, down.

I carried a sleeping but tough three year old. Just before this he told his mom, " My legs are all wobbly."

Once we made it down, we rested! We were EXHAUSTED, EXHAUSTED, EXHAUSTED!

The kids took a Jr. Ranger oath as they completed their assignments and earned their badges.

It was a cool hike, but we were glad, glad, glad when it was over!

......................................................................................The Five Grammas

Korbin Dane with his favorite Gramma's.
Great Grandma Jo Ann Harper, Gramma Lori Cook, Kamden James Schimpf, Gramma Lillian Schimpf, Great Grandma Caroline (Ginger) Schimpf, and Great Grandma Edith (Mary) Hutchings.  WOW!

"Happy birthday to me.  Happy birthday to me.  There's nobody cuter.  Happy birthday to me."

Fourth birthday, first talk in church.  They loved me.

Disneyland was not the only surprise for Kamden.  His "families" snuck up before him and waited for him to arrive.  Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Best buds having the best time.  It doesn't get any better than this.

I spoke too soon.  

Aunt Ashley, Grandma Cook, Cousin Brooke, Mom, Brother Korbin, Dad, ME.

"Grandpa, don't even think I'm lettin' you drive.  This baby's ALL mine.  HOLD ON!

Cruisin' the jungle with my fam.

"Hey Josh, you're stealing my camera time.  What's up with that?"

(Notice how my mom needed a seatbelt too.  I think this is going to be a bumpy ride.)

Grandma Leela, Aunt Stacie, Mom...Ahh forget it.  These are my peeps.  

Let's do it!!!!!!!!!

Kamden loves his mom.

Good-bye Disneyland, good-bye.
