Way Behind

Well I'm way behind on posting so this is going to be very brief. A lot has happened lately. The highlights are as follows: I'm pregnant, due December 25th; Logan took the LSAT and aced it- 170, now we begin the long process of applying for law school; we backpacked Havasupai- AMAZING, yet we all thought we were going to die at the end; the 4th was wonderful-fireworks, parades, boating, and BBQs. There it is, and now a gallery of pictures to follow!

The group. Only half made it out alive.

Spelunking! This one was an old mine.

Our dear friend the stray, Mangy, who tagged along and ate our food.

Conner takes a leap!

Hiking down to Mooney Falls

Where ever Logan is, there are animals to be captured.

Scum!

Cooking dinner. Its amazing how anything is delicious when you're camping. Cup of Noodles? Gross.

More spelunking

Havasu Falls

Me and Mckell catching some sun

I love this picture.

As Lynn Pickett would say, Just let those mules pass...

Our half of the group that hiked out late Sunday evening to avoid the heat. We look so fresh and alive. Little do we know whats coming...

As I said, only half the group made it out alive.

Logan and I really thought we killed Lafe by bringing him along. Perhaps it was all those extra rocks we stuffed in his pack when he wasn't looking.

The great outdoors

We've been in the mountains a lot lately- just they way it should be. This past weekend we went to the Mathews Reunion at the Heber Valley Camp. The evening started with a dinner, (which we missed) followed by a Film Festival. My grandma is so creative. It was so fun to see all the videos people put together and we're already excited to see what everyone comes up with next year. Jennifer and Jathon headed up some hardcore games that went on until the crack of dawn. The loss of sleep was well worth it. The next morning we had a delicious breakfast and then headed down to the lake for some canoeing. We saw a total of 34 ducklings on the lake. Needless to say, it was the best canoeing experience I've ever had. Then we went to the ropes course. It was so fun to have challenges that we had to figure out together as a team. It started to pour on us for about an hour, but we kept at until we finished. I have a special skill to attract rodent like animals. I spotted a weasel and got some good pictures of him. He was so cute that I told Logan we just had to have one someday. We looked them up and it turns out they're quite morbid animals and very weasely. I think we'll stick to rats. It was a wonderful weekend and I can't wait for next years reunion.

Logan and I also did a little prep work for our Havasu hike this week. We hiked The Jardine Juniper on Wednesday after work. It is an 11 mile hike. We packed some snacks and headed to the trail. The trail was very scenic and beautiful. Even the 1500 year old tree that is on its death bed was entertaining to look at. We successfully did the entire trip in about 4 1/2 hours. I think we're ready for Supi!

Weasels are like streched out cats. Thats why I want one.

They told us we wouldn't break the beams. We broke a beam.

Fat guys in a little coat. We weren't prepared and there was a shortage of jackets. Logan is wearing mine and I'm wearing my cousin Josh's.

We were successful in ALMOST every challenge.

Again my skill to attract rodents
