Utah trip

Vacations, , , , ,

A little bit ago Josh, Carson, and I went to Provo for a visit. It was a short trip: Josh was just going to recruit promising BYU students to work for his company, and Carson and I tagged along. Josh stayed pretty busy for most of it, but we had a little bit of time to spend together as a family. And while Josh was busy collecting resumes and giving info sessions, Carson and I stayed busy and had fun, too: ice cream at the Creamery, walking around BYU, the bookstore…all the great BYU stops. And the best part of course was seeing all our family in Provo: Caleb, Sam, Audrey, Brenn, we loved loved loved seeing you again and miss you guys like crazy! And as a special treat, my Dad was also in Provo! Small world, huh? The last night we were there, we all (including Caleb and Sam, but minus Josh, who had recruiting events) went out to eat to celebrate Audrey’s birthday. So much fun!

A quick note about pictures: I’m realizing lately that we’re pretty bad nowadays about taking pictures of anything (including ourselves) besides Carson. But can you blame me? So…enjoy pictures of mostly Carson! I’m going to try to be more inclusive of other people in our photos, too…

Family vacation up to the mountains

Vacations, ,

During the late summer, the three of us took a family vacation, just us, up to the mountains. It was low key and easy, but really just perfect. It was great to get away as a family, spend time together, eat out at a few restaurants, see some pretty scenery, and walk around and play. Carson loved it, for sure, and he did great. It was a great getaway for all of us. Here’s our pictures, just a big bunch of them. Enjoy!

Aurora Reservoir outing

Just Life, , , , ,

So remember how Carson loves the beach? Unfortunately we’re not anywhere close to a beach, but we are only about 20 minutes from the Aurora Reservoir, a manmade lake thing with, guess what, a manmade beach! Woo hoo! We went up as a family one Saturday back when summer was here and it really was a lot of fun. We brought tinfoil dinners to cook over an outdoor stove (see, we had meant to go camping that weekend, but ran out of time and thought the reservoir would be just as fun), Carson splashed in the water, we chased some geese, we ate delicious food, we played in the park. All in all a great family outing.
