Dallin leaves on a mission to Idaho

This little guy chose to serve a mission. He is the best kid, ever. He will be serving in the Pocatello Idaho Mission. The whole family got together and we had a grand ole time. I didn't grab pictures of everyone but here is what I do have. 

High school friends reunion

Getting together with old friends does the soul good! Aunne and Dez and I all went to school together and took Orchestra together. It's fun to hang out with people who remember your youthful soul. It was such a great time meeting up with these ladies and talking about how their lives has changed in the past 10 years. We met up in Tucson and stayed with Aunne. We had a great time lounging by the pool, talking, and hiking Mt Lemmon and watching the sun set. 

I fell in love with this guy. The coolest dog. 

We found this cool fort off the path. 

This world is so magnificent. 

It's not a girls weekend without facials! :) 

I don't even know. haha 

Eagar with friends

One of my favorite things is taking friends up to visit the White Mountains. They get such a kick out of the small town life. I am SO LUCKY to have grown up there. I didn't realize it then, but I sure do now. Quads, cookouts, bonfires, dirt, hiking, bugs, rain, trees, trucks and cowboys. Just all part of the American Dream.

Mom and dad haven't been living in their house for the year since they have been taking care of Joann. They were "renting" their house out. psh I use the word renting very VERY loosely. My father is such a compassionate man. Anyway, they moved out so it was fun to go troll around the house and relive old memories. 

Hike and picnic at Sunrise ski ski resort. So fun to ride the ski lift up the mountain while there is no snow. 

My names Brennen and I climb trees.

Caterpillar hunting in the field near Aunt Dorthy's old house. 

Cookout at Haws park. Joined the Bloomfields for some good eats. 

I have never seen it rain so much here. SO green. 

Some were better at crawdad fishing than others.

 We won't be mean and call anyone out. YOU know who you are.

Quad rides to Sonic with Crawdads in a bucket. Sounds like a country song.

This is how you 'purge' the crawdads. It includes water, and LOTS of salt. Poor things just go nuts with misery. but it cleans them out good.
