MAJOR update!!!

*Warning* This will be a long post but I hope you enjoy!

So it has been WAY to long since I have updated the blog, so I will start at the end of July.

The last week of July, we went to Moab, UT for family vacation (just Brad, me, and Hyrum). We had a blast but it was HOT! We were able to see Canyonlands National Park, Arches National Park, Little Wild Horse Canyon, Goblin Valley State Park, and Dead Horse Point. Dead Horse Point was our favorite so I will start Pictures there.

The View was SO Amazing!


Canyonlands!

It is like a mini Grand Canyon! 

Little Wild Horse Canyon

We had to climb over this rock to get to the trail. It was Huge. (the picture doesn't do it justice)
Hyrum Loved touching the walls
We had so much fun in here. One of my favorites!

Goblin Valley
Brad was like a kid in here. He loved running from rock to rock!

It was too hot for me. I preferred to just sit there.

Arches
Double Arch

Windows Arches
We hiked the 5 mile hike to see Delicate Arch. We started our hike at noon and it was over a hundred degrees. I thought i was going to die because you couldn't see the arch the whole hike, so you didn't know how much you had left. I have to admit, it was totally worth it.
 This is us under the HUGE arch!

Hyrum fell asleep on the hike down. We wore him out!

We also went to a local Dinosaur museum. Hyrum thought it was cool!


All in all, we had a blast but were ready to get back to normal life.

After returning back to NM, Hyrum and I headed out to Texas for a visit. It was a blast! After we got back to NM we headed to Colorado Springs for Brad to run the Pikes Peak Ascent.

Before the race



Finish Line

You can see that it was quite intense. Unfortunatley, I didn't get any of Brad after he finished. It was really hard with Hyrum and Brad was exhausted so he didn't really want to pose.
He did great and loved the race, but thinks it is the hardest race he has ever run!

We went back to Texas 2 weekends ago to celebrate Hyrum's birthday and spend some time with my family. We had a blast. I will post pictures from this on his actually birthday, Wednesday!

Other news, We found out that we are going to have another little boy! He is due January 30th. We are so excited for this new adventure. Brad just accepted a full time staff position at Los Alamos National Lab and is way excited. He starts September 27th. So we are here to stay in Los Alamos.
I think my blogging time is up or at least that is what Hyrum is telling me, but stay tuned for more on Wednesday!

Hope you are all doing well!
