Happy Trails to You

Cooling off from the Vegas heat

I can't get enough of this side of Asher

He'll let this baby nibble at his nose all day

She is so adorable, and yet, she absolutely cannot keep her pacifier in her mouth by herself. So we rigged it up for her.

Mountainside waterfall at Sam's Town

The Eiffel Tower

Bellagio fountains

Laser light show at Sam's Town

Asher wasn't as depressed as this photo implies--how else would he (or the TV, whatever) have elicited such a grin from his sister?

Travel is always better with ice cream

We made a quick stop at BYU campus--it was fun to visit the HFAC again

My dad has planted a "Dr. Seuss" garden at his house, complete with Truffalo Trees and towering flowers.

At the American West Heritage Museum

An in-ground hovel much like what some of our ancestors lived in when they first immigrated to Utah from Sweden

Lace-making

Panning for gold

And . . . a pony ride (probably intended for younger children, but the horses looked so lonely)

Raspberry Days Parade

Some serious tetherballing

And croqueting

This guy is shaping up to be a good waterskier!

This girl too--they'll have me beat in no time

Especially since this is what I look like on a wake-board (right before I took a pretty sad fall)

A teeny baby in a life jacket is much cuter!

Bear Lake sunset

Squeezing in some last fun with friends before school starts

Chillin' at the grocery store with this crew

These two had their portraits done at a back-to-school shindig at Pacific Ridge

Visit with Grandma and Grandpa Mitchell

The kids decided to play "Where's the Baby" with all of Grandma Mitchell's amazing afghans

Did you find her?

And El Coyote in Old Town for our anniversary--17 years, baby!
