Logan Fun

During our two weeks in Preston, we also spent lots of time in Logan.
 Hanging out in the Lego section of a really great toy store.
 Eating Aggie ice cream.

 Visiting Gram's grave.
 A trip to Garreth's old stomping grounds to get some "used bread" for the ducks at First Dam.




 And, last but certainly not least, the Demolition Derby. 
(Have I mentioned lately how much I love these? Driving in one is actually on my bucket list, so watch for me someday.)

Nana Horse Camp

 Having a cowgirl grandma is the best.










P.S. My parents have kind of a pretty backyard :)

Scenes from Whitney

When I was in high school, I couldn't wait to get as far away from this place as I could. 
Can you believe that?
 After living away for so long and living in so many different places, I realize how lucky I am to be from such a beautiful valley and I'm jealous of my friends and family who still get to call this home. 
 The back of my grandparents' farm in Whitney. 

 One of our LDS prophets, Ezra Taft Benson, was from Whitney and is buried in the cemetery just up the road from my grandparents' house. Liam and Sam didn't feel right smiling in a picture by a headstone. 
 Besides President Benson's grave, the other most famous landmark in Whitney: Grandma and Grandpa's barn!

 Razor ride up to the dry farm.


My wonderful grandparents. We seriously adore these people.

Preston

My parents were so helpful to us during our move. My mom let me use her car for over a month, since ours were shipped up to Alaska with the movers, and they even let us move in with them for a few weeks. As always, we had a great time in my favorite place in the world.

 Kings, the kids' favorite store ever... and mine, too.

 The kids spent loads of time at the corral with their patient grandma at "Nana Horse Camp."









 My sister and her family were also in moving transition and without a dad for a few weeks, so we had a lot of fun with cousins, including meeting baby Leah for the first time.






 Grandpa and Grandma treated us all to lunch at Big J's.
We stayed so busy and packed in a lot of fun. I guess it caught up with these two during church!
