Summer fun

I officially ended my career as a nanny at the end of May.  From here on out I fully intend to nanny my own children :)

These pictures don't reflect the time I spent "nesting," napping, reading, and generally preparing to have a kid.

Don't reflect time spent "nesting"??!! Nonsense! Here's Jared investigating the "nesting" possibilities of this dinosaur track outside of Moab. If a newborn baby is roughly twice the size of Jared's hand, then this track has potential. The kid should fit in here perfectly.

Jared tried to get into this picture next to Sara, but the "bump" was in the way. That thing takes up some serious real estate. Chris and Jamie clearly don't have this problem. . . yet. Oh, and this is where we camped in Jared's parents' motor home.

The Middle of Nowhere--which is apparently located 10 minutes outside of Moab, UT

The look that comes when you're trying to find your way out of The Middle of Nowhere. If you're wondering, we're in a UTV (stands for Utility Vehicle something-or-other) that the high rollers, Chris and Jamie, rented in Moab.

The brand-spankin'-new Tacoma that we took on the Seven Mile Rim trail outside Moab.  It belongs to Jared's Dad.  What a generous (foolish?) guy. We took good care of her though. Only bottomed out two or three times (trailer hitch doesn't count). And I think the mud flaps were still mostly attached when we finished. And the "Are-you-seriously-taking-that-truck-on-this-trail?" looks we got from the other folks around were priceless.

Hmmm. The slope doesn't seem as steep when you tilt the camera to the same angle as the hill. Weird.

The Art City Days Rodeo in Springville

Yes Jared, the scriptures do say "become like a little child". But. . .

Ready to go kayaking on Utah Lake.

We hung out with Adam and Holley while they were in town from Texas.
