High Adventure for Cade and the Boys

High Adventure 2018- Mount Mahogany 5th Ward

This year they went to Tetons National parks and went on many adventures. They hiked a pretty strenuous hike to Table Rock where they ran into quite a bit of snow. They went fishing one evening and also had raft wars with a raft that Cade literally built with his own hands (with some help from his advisors). He put his time and sweat into making that raft and the boys had a blast on it. They also played some games like Truth and Dare and Steal the Flag. Overall it was a great adventure and the boys had so much fun!


















 



Brian Head Bleak Vaca & Prescott in July

After Girls camp this year, life was a little crazy. I got home on the Thursday from Girls Camp and had to immediately pack for Arizona that same day. We left Friday morning for Arizona. But my family was having their family vacation the same exact time so we stopped on our way in Brian Head and spent some of the afternoon with them and then continued on our way to AZ. It wasn't ideal but we had to sacrifice or Sisten and Andrew would't have been able to spend that time with everyone. We did a lift ride up the mountain, had lunch at a park and then the best part- the story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. The wives stood behind their husbands and were the arms for the men. It was hilarious and the kiddos thought it was the best thing ever. I wish we could have stayed longer!












Arizona is always good times! The reason we didn't spend much time with my side of the family is because the 4th of July is one of the only times we really get to see Cade's aunts and uncles. That was a highlight this year more than others. We spent time with the aunts at the parade and boot race and then the following week we drove to Phoenix and saw Tom & Kelly as well as Tamara and her kiddos. We also went to lunch with Johnny and Virginia and that was super fun.

Other fun things we did- hike in the dells, swim at Embry Riddle, play at parks, and just goofing off with cousins. They have SO much fun together we love it!




















Baby Tess is Born!!!

Baby Tess Rosalie Young was born on Saturday, July 14, 2018. She weighed 8 lbs 15 oz and had lots of red hair at birth. I am now writing this on September 15th and so she is two months old. I am SO happy for Tara and Johnny--she is by far their easiest going baby and so good for them! Their babies have usually been extremely hard and colicky so little Tess has been a great treat to end on!! We are so happy for them.
