Quick update...

 McKenna is now braces free! Look at that beautiful smile.

 Danny and Austin are still dorks.

Taisha coaches at the Quarry and Sasha is lucky to be alive after tearing my back yard to pieces.

 McKenna has spent as much time as possible with friends who will go out on missions and  off to colleges soon.

 We bought a motorcycle!!!! And... it is no longer purple.

 The girls find ways to fight boredom playing Anna Kendrick's "Cups"and proof that they sometimes get along.

 Cousin's are the best.

 And Auria is just too cute with her laugh.

 Skyler works with me at SecurityMetrics...

 And still likes Pokemon. I wondered why he needed so many of my push pins at work. LOL

McKenna made Alisha into Elsa from Frozen.

 I am doing quite a bit better with depression and coping better with the new struggles and health problems that keep popping up. (This is how they read my pacemaker to see how if my heart is doing okay. I hate it when they test it to make sure it is working by speeding up my heart with a push of a button. I go from sitting heart rate to instant running. Not a pleasant feeling at all.)

Camping Along My Favorite Drive...

The field was full of all colors of wildflowers. It was beautiful and smelled so good.

All the pictures are from our camping spot. It was so green and pretty for June. Gotta love Friday night date nights!

Danny made us a fire. It was a little chilly.

I sure love my sexy man.

Doesn't the fire look fake. LOL

Doesn't this kind of look like a truck commercial?

Times A Changin'...

With guy friends going on missions soon and college awaiting them, McKenna and all her BFF's spent some time together.

They all went to the temple before Ryan Zundel left. He likes McKenna. 

McKenna, Ashley, Sariah, ?, Ryan and Brandon.

Then Brandon got his Eagle Scout award. And no they are still "not" boyfriend and girlfriend.

Kyle, Ryan, Brandon and McKenna.

Then they all hiked the Y. 

Ryan, Brandon, McKenna, Ashley and Sariah.

What a view.

Hey it's Mickey mouse.

Taisha's Adventures...

Taisha and her great friends decided to have as many adventures as they could before Summer was over and our dear Brandon moves back East.

They all took pictures so they could make a scrapbook for Brandon. Taisha made it so cute and used the theme from the movie "UP".

It turned out so amazing and sweet, but brought tears to all our eyes!

 Climbing Mount Timpanogos.

 Brandon and Taisha.

 What an amazing group and view.

 Just the usual hanging out.

Biking up to Bridal Veil Falls.

Brandon and Taisha. His arm span is taller than Taisha. LOL!

9th Grade trip to Lagoon.

 

Laurel, Taisha and Madison.

 Poor Taisha and Brandon being "forced" to sit by each other by their friends. :)

 Riding the FrontRunner from Orem then Trax up to The City Center in Salt Lake City.

(Don't worry, a parent went with.)

The Couch Escapade.

 So, their was a couch on the sidewalk for free, so they decided to take it for a ride.

 They ended up at Nielsen's Grove sitting on it among the trees and then took it back to a friends house, where the father demanded it go back to the sidewalk where it was found. There is a great picture of them at the park, but I can't get it to work :(

At least they had fun.

 Trip to Utah Lake...

 Look at my shorty!

 They all made cardboard boats and set sail at Utah Lake.

 Love the pictures they got of the stormy Lake.
