Furniss Family Reunion

Last week, we went to the Furniss Family Reunion

up at the Beck's ranch.

The rest of the family was up there almost all week. 

The girls and I made it up for a day, and Trevor for a few hours.

but we had a blast and wish we could've stayed longer!

We sure love this family of ours!

I got really lucky when I married into this fun family!

The Bean Museum

We spent the afternoon at the Bean Museum at BYU. 

The museum was closed for a while while they did some construction

and just reopened a few months ago.

The new add-on to the old building is gorgeous!

And they have a handful of new exhibits and new animals.

Like this HUGE elephant:

We had a lot of fun! 

Kathryn and her baby Ashley were with us!

Its always so fun to play with them.

Piper wasn't too thrilled with all the animals.

I think it freaked her out a little bit, 

but we will totally go back soon!

Thanks Provo for being so awesome and having so many fun and free 

things to do!

more beach photos

Here are a handful of beach photos.

Again.

Sorry, but I'm not even a little bit sorry about oversharing.

We just had so much fun!

 My two most favorite people! 

I'm so lucky to have them both.

 If you look REALLY close at the pic above, 

you can see my dad and sister, Madeleine.

Every other summer is not often enough! 

And we've only been home a week... 

Such a long time until the next trip.

(These pictures are from my camera, and some from cousins, too.)

4th of July

Happy Fourth of July!

We hope you had a great day celebrating and spending time with family.

We sure did!

(Thanks Kate for the cute pictures of our little Piper!)

feeding ducks

This girl.. with those sunglasses and popsicle..

She is doing summer right!

We went and fed ducks a few days ago with Madeleine and her roommate, Amanda.

It was a fun little visit.

Piper loved every minute of it!

We love these summer days! 

bridal veil falls

 Today we went on a little walk over to bridal veil falls just up Provo canyon.

I always love seeing the waterfalls!

We sure had fun playing with some family! 

Thanks for the invite Emily!

Can't wait until you and your little family is back in Utah for a bit.

 

So pretty! 

I sure do enjoy Utah sometimes.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

summer is for swimming

  

Piper went swimming for the first time this past weekend at Grandma Bonne's house!

We loved it and had fun playing with all the cousins!

Summer is the best. We are loving the sunshine and all the family time!

Also, Alex gets home from his mission to Mexico in 2 days!!! 

We are SO excited to see him!
