Pigtails & Hikes










I can't believe Sophie is big enough for ponytails already! They are so cute and it makes her look so big! She even sits pretty still and is way better than Emma was about getting her hair done!




For Pioneer Day we hiked Stewart Falls up Provo Canyon. It is where Jon and I got engaged and the first time we had been back. The hike was way harder than I remembered it being! I was so surprised to see it was a 4 mile round trip. And it was so hot! I thought it was so pretty and so green! Emma chanted the whole way in "I hate this, I hate this!" Luckily on the way back out she enjoyed it a little more! At least for the picture she tried to smile! Sophie was pretty good about being in the backpack the whole time and not being able to get down and explore! Next time I think Jon and I will have to hike alone!

A Day at the Beach



We had a great day at the beach, the day after Matthew and Lindsey's Open house in CA. It was so nice to relax after ALL the hard work! Emma had a blast and even got in the water and loved it, (she isn't a big fan of getting her head wet!) I was really worried about taking Sophie because she is such a wild child, but she loathed the sand and wouldn't take a step off the towel! Although she eventually warmed up a little and would sit on the towel and play with the sand.  My aunt had a beach house for the week so it was nice to take a shower and get all cleaned up and then we went back out on the beach to enjoy some Bache (SP?) ball! It was fun to just all be together having a good time! And a little sad since it was the ending point of everyone's down time in CA! 

Emma loved building in the sand and finding sand crabs!
Sophie finally being brave and touching the sand.
Sunset is such great lighting! Soph looks like a beach bum!
