and s'mores
we went to 7 Peaks one day
we rented a boat one morning (Natalie was in a photography mood and took a TON of pictures. even though there are lots here, it is only a tiny portion of the total pictures taken don't worry, if you have cheap plastic sunglasses, and mix them with old sunscreen, you get what one might call "a prank on Tiffany" my hot wakeboarder my attempt "did i get any air?" and of course, dancing other pictures from the tripthese last 2 pictures are very special to me. all 4 of my grandparents are alive and i felt honored to be in their presence at the same time.
i feel really badly because i don't have any pictures from our time in St. George. we had a blast with Darren's family, playing games, boating, tennis tournament, meeting my niece Harlee. i think i was just pictured out by the time i got there. oh, can't forget to mention, Darren ended up in the E.R. after his first run on the wakeboard with a bruised rib. he missed the rest of the nice water on the boat and his friend's green jacket tournament. my poor little D.

Fun times. I'm sorry Darren got hurt; he looks like an extreme wake boarder.

Where do I even begin??? First of all, I am so honored that you have so many pics of my little fam--thanks for loving us.

Second, it looks like you guys had the time of your lives together!! Boating, wake boarding (you guys are dang good!), 7 peaks, G-parents dinner--so much fun!

Third, I can't believe Darren bruised his rib!! Tell him I'm so sorry.

Fourth, and most important, I was soooooo glad to get to see you all--it was so much fun! You guys call, and we'll come!

PS Thanks for letting Abby use your sweats! Your mom said she was seeing you soon, so I gave them to her--wish we could have seen you one more time!

It looks like you guys had alot of fun out here in Utah for a vacation. You need another vacation after that one. How fun to have your family all together. I love the pictures with the grandparents. What a wonderful blessing.

Cute pictures! Dax and Jacey are looking so big and of course even more adorable :). I'm sure it was rough coming back to work, it's always such a let down.

Wow...you guys did so much while you were home. Poor Darren bruised ribs are the worst! That is really neat that all of your grandparents are still alive. You will treasure that picture for a long time. Yea for vacations!

You guys look like naturals at wakeboarding. Way to pack a lot of fun in one week. I hope I can be a little more brave at wakeboarding this summer.
