4th of July

It's amazing how having Michael Linley around for the 4th makes all the difference! It's true, he's gone now,  B U T  he was here for the holiday. Pick and choose your battles I guess... Anyway! We started out the morning up South Fork canyon with Michael's wonderful family! We had breakfast, shot rockets, and while the boys played soccer, we sat around and enjoyed a stimulating conversation. Every time we get together with Michael Linley's family, I am reminded of how truly amazing his they are! I fall in love with them all over again! I am so blessed to have married into such a killer family!

These were our well thought out celebration outfits! 

Mmmmm! 

M I C A E L   L I N L E Y   I S   O N E   H A N D S O M E   M A N ! 

While we were there, Michael Linley and his brothers played a game called Donkey! Sadly, Michael Linley lost, so as punishment, they got to kick the soccer ball as hard as they could at his D E R R I E R E !  Luckily, they had terrible aim and didn't hit him!

The Rock Jump...

Michael Linley, Brad, and the twins headed down the canyon to jump off   

" T H E   R O C K . "   After an eventful rescue of a families paddles & kayak, they were ready to willingly plunge into the depths of the freezing cold Provo River! 

Want to know a secret? I've never ever done "The Rock" jump! Shh... I don't handle cold water well and lucky for me, Michael doesn't pressure me into it! 

Maybe one day I'll work up the courage!

Then it was up to Snow Bird Resort for our evening of swimming and laughs! We could hardly believe how beautiful it was up there! It was our own little paradise!

This is our awkward family photo. I think we pretty much nailed it.

It's super pixelated, but when all you've got is your iPhone, 

you deal with what you're dealt! 

Allison, Jordan, Michael Linley & I ended up staying the night! We woke up the next morning, obviously ate breakfast at iHop, then Michael and I went on a hot pursuit for the perfect apartment! Unfortunately, no luck so far! We are praying I find something while he is gone!
