Lake Powell 2010

I'm a little behind posting our awesome trip to Lake Powell, but our internet isn't working right now. We went the last week in June and aside from ripping my toenail off hiking, this may have been the best trip yet. We did some really neat hikes. We painted the kids faces like indians then hiked to some indian ruins. Ryker skied again this year, but was more into tubing. We did fireworks or games or a movie projected onto the cliff wall each night. Abe and my brother, Trent, put up a zip line which actually worked this year because we used cable wire instead of rope. Everyone had a lot of fun going down it. One night the kids put on a talent show, and it was the cutest thing ever! Next year is going to be hard to beat. I was excited to come home after six days of not seeing Gage. I left him with my mother in-law again (thank you Teri). Next year he's for sure coming.

Emery Trials Competition

Here's a few pictures from Abe's last trials competition. I wasn't able to go to this one, but I'll be going to the next one in a couple weeks in Cedar City. He is getting so good on his bike. I can't believe how much joy this motorcycle has brought into his life.

Easter (a little late) and Moab

We had a great Easter this year. We went to my parent's house and watched conference and then had an Easter egg hunt for all the kids (all 18 of them). I tried to get a good picture of Ryker, but he was going so fast they're all blurry.


All 18 Heath grandkids






Moab
My in-laws took us and all of Abe's siblings to Moab last week. We had the best time four-wheeling, hiking, playing games, sitting by the campfire, and just being together.

We decided to do a family picture since we hadn't done one in a couple years.




This is on top of a very high mesa that we hiked up.




Can't go camping without roasting a few marshmellows.


If you look close you'll see that Gage is on that motorcycle with Abe.


We stayed at a this little bed and breakfast sort of place about 15 miles out of Moab. Tom was our host and this is his tortoise, Kobai. The kids loved watching him.


We went to Arches on the way home. This is us in front of Delicate Arch.

Family Pictures

Abe's very talented cousin took our family pictures last week. I think she did a great job. To see some more of her work visit her blog at joydphoto.blogspot.com. Here's a few of my favorites. Thanks again Joy.

Happy Birthday Gage!

Wow, I can't believe my baby is two. He has grown up so fast! Gage's birthday was actually yesterday, but he had his doctor's appointment today. Here's his stats: weight 28 lbs (50%)and height 35 1/2 inches (83%).
Gage you bring me so much joy every single day. You are so fun to play and laugh with. I love you so much and don't know what I'd do without you. Happy Birthday little buddy! Here's a couple pictures from his birthday.

Santa's coming

I had to take the kids to see Santa because Ryker had to tell him that he wanted a transformer. I don't know how he even knows what a transformer is but he really wants one for Christmas. Gage didn't care to sit on Santa's lap until I told him he would get a candy cane if he did. And of course he didn't smile for the picture. Oh well, maybe next year he'll be a little more excited about Santa.

Happy Birthday Abe

Today my best friend in the world turns 31! Happy Birthday to the best dad and husband in the world. We love you!

Man, he's sexy in his new helmet!


Saturday we went to another trials bike competition where Abe took first place again. And this time he got a little trophy to prove it. Way to go Abe.


I took this picture today because I noticed how pretty my little bushes are getting with the changing season. The kids in it are pretty cute too.
