This must be done.

I'm sorry folks, but the backlog on blogging is really getting the best of me, and there is just one thing that must be done. Prepare yourself for a massive photo dump (it's for posterity's sake, I'm sure!). This makes me a little sad because I'm sure I could make great stories out of most of these pictures, but lets be honest, it's no fun reading about July when it's October. Actually, I think it is kind of fun and also necessary since having all these photos just waiting to be blogged is stressing me out and I want to get to pictures of Celeste's wedding and cyclocross season already!

So, if you ever wanted to see a blog post with 66 pictures and videos, here is your chance!


Tour of Utah! A pro bike race! We collected so many water bottles from all the best teams: Garmin Vervelo, Liquigas, BMC, etc! We saw Levi Lephimer, Teejay VanGarderen, Tommy Danielson, Brent Bookwalter, and lots of other skinny spandex men.

Look close and you can see a train of cyclists climbing the hill behind the capital. Luckily, Camie took some more pictures, because I only took videos.

Jeff and Paul saw another stage in Alpine!

Lake Powell sunset (as you can see this post is going to jump around a lot).

An essential part of Lake Powell trips: Hollow Mountain

Jo jo before Rigby Lake!

Rigby Lake cousin fun!

Such a lovely little beach in the middle of Idaho!

Amari learned a great trick at church. I should've taught her this years ago, because it's one of my favorites.

Flour game...?

So glad I didn't lose. So glad Irelynd and Marian did because they loved having flour all over their face.

Amari on her actual birthday. I really wish I would've bought that hat for her (or me).

Utah sunny mountain love

Echo reservoir and Carruth Canyon to the left (seriously! A canyon named after my great great grandparents! proof!

A hair cut, before and...

after...  Maybe you can't tell a difference, like Paul but it's nice and healthy now!

Some of the best shoes I ever did find.

A haily rainstorm, I love those guys!

The animal bushes in my neighborhood. This is where me and Lyndsi Thompson would meet to walk to school.

A screen shot of my house getting pummeled by a hurricane.

My tree that I won in 3rd grade that has grown so nice and large! Plus, it's an Idaho Spruce, so I think I was destined to marry that Idaho boy Paul.

Golfing Murray Parkway with my parents!

Doesn't my dad do such a great job at keeping this place so lovely?

"The longest shadows ever cast" (name those lyrics!)

Beautiful pink mountains and clouds

Shopping with Camie and Mykita

Jovi says cheese, hahahahaha

Amari's kitty watering can we gave her for her birthday. Please note her cape. She wears one everyday I think.

Hot pink clouds, hot pink shirt. (Saying goodbye to Utah for a couple weeks!)

Back with my Pauly friend! We took a walk down by the Raritan River, Boyd Park is so nice!

Except pretty damaged by Ms. Ireney (aka the Hurricane)

Cyclocross season begins!

J POW!!!!!!!!!!!! (Best cyclocross racer in the world!)

Flying back to Utah and enjoying the nicest clouds...

Bachelorette Party for Celestatron

or should I say... Bacheceleste Party, hahahah oh Maddi.

Celeste was throwing away this Tiger, but I knew Amari would love it so we took it to her.

And Zander praised the fire.

And we had pushup contests. Even Jovi wanted to try.

And we roasted some mallows. And Paul payed Zander 5 bucks because he did 51 pushups, and it was really impressive and almost made me cry because he was trying so hard.

And then I had to send my sweetie Paul off to Germany, and I stayed in Utah a little while longer.

And I went and hung out with the Brown kiddos. And Mari chose her superman cape today, which was so nice, and I fell in love with her Saltwaters, and she jumped on the tramp seeing "I believe I can fly" and it was such a great time.

And Jovi can jump higher than any 2 year-old I've ever known.

Then all the kids (minus sick Irelynd) came out to watch Uncle Paul's plane fly over their house.

And I think we saw it, but it wasn't this plane, but this was a nice picture.

Then I went skiing some more... at Rockport. And just two weeks later, we deemed the dry suit necessary because it got real cold while I was away in New Jersey.

And the newlyweds came home and cheered for all their presents!

And my mom and I went to Morrelia's for dinner and I loved this little dish.

Another round of golf...

And some more pictures of Mt. Olympus, which is probably my favorite one because it's right in my own backyard pretty much.

I know that was a bit much, but really, now we can move on to some more recent events and I can start sleeping at night again because I've done my blogging duties and saved my pictures on the internet for future generations to enjoy.

Also, my grandparents and my parents are flying into New York tomorrow! Isn't that great news? Maybe I should go clean my house in that case... ok bye.
