Hiking with the family

We went to this place 30 minutes away from St George called Kanarraville and I am sad I never knew this hike existed! I loved it..I almost think I like it better than any hike Ive done in Zion. We went at about 6 o'clock at night so it was perfect timing with the temperature!
Here is Sierra, Jaret, Dawn and Eva!Chandler holding Brooklyn. A lot of the hike was mostly thru water

My dad


Chandler and Zeke seeing how deep the water gets. It was so refreshing!

Bj, Zeke, me, Chan, and Dawn

The views and rock formations were stunning!

My dad was on top of this rock way far away but I was zoomed in!


Chan and Jaret jumped up this huge rock then hiked into this crack...kinda crazy


The narrows part of it





Gotta love Zekes shorts!!


This went on for awhile! They CLING to Chan when he is around! Those nieces are so smart! ;) They must learn it from me!

Such a great family hike. It was a good time and a lot of laughter! We will be doing this hike for sure again!

Finally!!!

My sister Desiree and Her husband Zeke and been married for 4 1/2 Years and they have been trying to get pregnant for a few years now...they have been patiently waiting and relaxed with the whole situation and knew it would eventually happen when the time is right... and sure enough MY WHOLE family was having dinner one night and Zeke says "we brought a cake for dessert"They set this fondant cake in the middle of the table and I FREAKED OUT in excitement! I yelled out "AHH DESI"S PREGNANT" sure enough! She is 11 weeks along and we are all so excited an thrilled for them to have their first child here in February!
YES! That is supposed to be a lil foot pushing thru on the tummy!

Major remodel

So for my moms birthday (July 10Th) my siblings and I got this great idea to give her a "new office." My mom works so hard at her business' for everyone else to have a great environment to be in. She has had a hard time lately to face her office because it was so cluttered and disastrous. We wanted to give her a SURPRISE birthday present. So she had no idea about this!
These photos are the BEFORE pics. This photo was taken a YR ago of my mom at her desk.
a MESS
So we got my mom to go out of town and here we have started to DEJUNK and remove everything
And puttin up new curtains

My mom was SO SURPRISED! We have on video when she walked in and her reaction is priceless. She was so happy she cried and couldn't believe we did that for her. She had no idea it was coming. She loved it! it was a crazy fun weekend for us and staying up til wee hrs of the mornings was interesting! Happy Birthday MOM!

Home sweet Home

So I am back in Ut for a visit. I bought a one way ticket because I couldnt decide how long I wanted to be here. My work was very kind to let me come home and have the time off. My Sweet husband stayed in Hawaii and worked so I could have a break from work and come see my family for a month! I SURE do MISS him! I have been here visiting for three weeks so far and I am loving being home! It has been so great to spend time with my mom, my sisters, my nieces, and my dad is in town from Cali so we have been having a great time! There is nothing better than a visit home! I have been keeping myslef very busy with lots of different things. Im sure I will be ready to go back to the island here in a lil bit so Chan and I can have OUR routine or school and work back. Chandler is flying into Vegas this weekend to come and play as well for about another month! He has been working his heart out doing construction in Hawaii so we can be here in Ut with our families until school starts back up!
