One Amazing Week!

July 18 was Marin's 17th Birthday! We had a very nice Birthday Breakfast before leaving for the temple for Lauren's endowment. That afternoon the Sessions hosted a dinner at Los Hermanos. We got to sing to Marin at the restaurant. She is one good-looking 17 year old!!

July 19 was a magical day! Lauren and Turner were married in the Mt. Timpanogos temple at 10 am. After which they were glowing! Their family luncheon was beautiful, yummy and fun! It was nice to share the day with so many of our family. Turner's family is absolutely awesome! We had a great day! One of the best ever.

July 20 was another incredible day. It's a good thing that Jessianne caught Lauren's bouquet yesterday at the luncheon! She got engaged to Skyelr Baird. They will be getting married Dec 20 in the Sacramento Temple. Waaahhh! We are excited!

Just about here!

Not much happened this last week, except Bill has been in Washington D.C. and got to visit Bryan and Jessica a bit. Now he is in New York at a conference. I stayed home and put together the final touches for the wedding and girls camp. Saturday Jessianne and Skyelr came over and helped me in the yard. It looks soooo much better! Right now I have Hollyhocks, Shasta Daisies, and Day Lilies blooming! I can't wait for Tuesday when I get to pick up Bryan and Jessica and then Wednesday, Bill, Lauren, Turner and Marin all arrive! 5 days til the wedding!!!!!

July 4th Celebration

I know. We just got back from Cancun and now we're off playing again!!! We had so much fun at the cabin this week. On the 3rd Bill and I slept in and then went on a bike ride. We left from Tabiona and headed toward Hannah. Bill looks pretty hott, huh!



















Then we turned up the canyon. It was hot, but nice.

On the 4th we went to the Tabiona Rodeo in their new arena.



















Our favorite event is called the Hide Race. One person on a horse rides down the length of the arena pulling an animal hide around a barrel where the second person is waiting to jump on. Once they are on the hide and holding on the horse takes off back down the arena pulling the hide behind. The hide rider has to learn how to hold on and not eat too much dirt/manure!

This rodeo is small, quaint and definitely takes me back to my barrel-racing days.















Saturday, the 5th we went to the parade and then were joined by Skyler and one of Bill's students John and his wife Sara. The 4-wheeling was very fun, but dusty.




















We had a great weekend! Hope everyone else had as much fun! Hugs and love

Tulum is Amazing!

I loved Tulum! It is probably the highlight of the trip for me. The ruins on the coast have withstood hurricanes for hundreds of years! The iguanas were fun to watch, too. The beach at the bottom of the cliffs was one of the best we've ever been to. Let's go again!

Cancun Trip

We had a great time in Cancun. Sunday we drove down the coast to Playa del Carmen. A beautiful city on the Mexican Riviera. Monday we took a bus tour to Chichen Itza. Tuesday, I don't remember. Wednesday we went to Tulum, Thursday Isla Mujeres and Friday we were beach bums at Cancun.
