UTAH!!!

i forget how much i really love utah, until i go back and am reminded of everything i miss - family, beautiful summers, fourwheeling, the cabin, snow shack, college roomates, and pastry pub. i love being able to get outdoors and enjoy the weather! which is not possible during AZ summers. our little family has survived the first two weeks of being apart and i fly this week to go visit dan. I am ecstatic! in the meantime we have been enjoying every minute of being in utah.


madison loves bananas but will only eat them right now if she gets to hold them herself!

girls day out, shopping in st. george. madison loved the huge candy dispenser and tried out the m&m's. she kept reaching her hand in looking for more.

at the cabin with the fam - hannah, madison, dallin and kamber playing cards.

hannah and madison getting ready to go fourwheeling at the cabin.

madison LOVED the four wheelers. i thought she'd be scared since they are so loud but nope! she didn't even hold onto anything until the way home and then she layed down and hugged the gas tank - apparently it was comfortable. please excuse my ever growing midsection!

grandpa ellsworth's turn to take madison fourwheeling. she loved it as usual. and she is so funny with my dad. he sits on the stand during church and madison waves and points and talks to him from the church pews. it's pretty cute.

madison loves going in the backyard and she walked down the hill and sat on the steps next to the pond and just drank her milk. then she stood up and walked back up and came inside.

macy and madison. what else can i say? she loves that dog and gets on top of her or lays down next to her any chance she gets. macy is VERY patient with her.

swimming in the backyard (i forgot her swimsuit). my parents yard looks gorgeous right now with all the super green grass, flowers, peach tree - i love it! except that i got stung by a wasp for the first time ever. it killed! my knee swelled up and it turned into a bruise later. thanks dallin for getting rid of the hive from under the hot tub!

madison has always loved bathtime but when there are new shampoo bottles to play with it's even better!

we have loved being up here and have another week + to go! but we miss dan/dad alot and can't wait till we are together again! (another couple weeks and we will visit him in TX during his next rotation- both madison and i!)
