Here are my favorite pictures from our mini-vacation / wedding trip to Utah last weekend. We had a blast, the kids got to play with lots of cousins and stay up late and we got caught up with a lot of fun relatives.
Eliza insisted on wearing her new pink flip flops from Auntie Cris, brought all the way from Brazil. They clashed terribly but she loves them!
Ian was a good sport but extremely bored during all the picture taking and waiting, waiting, waiting.
It was sooo bright out and the kids were done with pictures by this time. But it's nice to have a new family picture!
I guess I should add at least one picture of the new couple.....
Congratulations to Richard & Janae!
The little girls had a ton of fun just scrambling around on the rocks. 
Ian climbs all the way to the top of this rock cliff. He really is good and can climb harder things, wedging his little feet into cracks. He climbs up up up and only slows down when coming down, we have to keep reminding him to keep his bellybutton toward the rocks. We also had a nice 4th of July, this is the first 4th of July in four years that we actually got to spend with Mike. It's also the first 4th of July since about 2002 that I've actually bought fireworks! We had barely shot all of ours off at 7:00 pm when a huge rainstorm hit, which ended up flooding quite a few houses in the neighborhood. At times like this I enjoy having a 2nd floor apartment. 
I hope everybody had a wonderfully independent 4th of July!
