Rabies Return?

If you saw this right across the street from you,

BE HONEST...

would you call Animal Control?

We didn't...

but..then we watched the NEWS.

"Watch out for foxes - they are currently found to be the animals with rabies."

So we live by a fox...

nothing wrong with that!

"Y?"

The Lewis family kindly invited us to spend a few hours burning calories up in the mountains. So, of course, we hiked the Y. Today was a crazy day and the trail was extremely busy, but we managed to enjoy it. Eeep!

Here's the view from the car. I snapped a few shots just to remind myself how tiny the Y actually is from a distance. Yes, I know what's coming :)

Here's the pre-hike. Yes, pre-hike. Cars were parked all down the road and I'm pretty sure that just tacked on an extra mile to our list :) oh, PS, happy Memorial Day!



Tal and Jake joined the 30-Minute Club getting to the top. They ran like dogs! I must say, during that entire thing, I didn't break a sweat or even gasp for air like I was dying. I have endured much worse. But, when Sarah and I found the boys already sitting at the top of the Y, we were shocked! Well, in terms, I was. He was really excited to show me his giddy face for this picture. Lovely!!

Sorry it's all mixed up - this is the "Y" gate at the beginning of the trail. Go, Cougs!

I tried to get a good picture of my dad walking with Ethan. They trudged alongside the entire time and got in some great father-son bonding. And now I can prove to all you Arizona people that YES it's green and snow-less here! Beat THAT! :) :) :) Sitting on the Y - we were on the very tippy top! Sarah and I had to literally climb from the very base of the "Y" all the way to the very top ledge and just sit there. At first I was pretty disappointed, but glad it all worked out. We got to chill and drink water and chat. It's a really great view, actually.
Look at that! Utah Lake and MORE! I was really proud of myself for accomplishing such a hike. It felt great and the reward (a Roxberry and some Barbarcoa salad..yum!) made the hike well worth my time!! Glad I came! Thanks Lewis fam!

Beauty of Utah

Beauty of Utah

As many of you know, us Lambs are vacationing in the beautiful hills of Utah. So far, our vacation has been great! We have seen many family and friends, gone swimming, hiking and partying, and spent our Fourth of July with family in American Fork. Next week, we are planning to go to Lake Powell for three days and stay on a houseboat...yippee!

Unfortunately, the two-day, twenty-eight-hour drive was not all that much a jolly holiday. But aside the screaming, fighting and vomiting, the drive wasn't all that bad. Now we have to go BACK to Georgia next week and spend more time freaking out in the car. That's okay - we still have the rest of summer to calm us down.

Here's our current 411:

Addison: Starting junior high/middle school is everything she can think of. She's also gaining a reputation to be involved in gymnastics. She's so hyped up about it she's actually reading about it. (Don't worry - I'm still a soccer fanatic, too).

Talmage and Ethan: You're probably wondering why they share a column. Well, duh! They both are excelling in their baseball skills and talking endlessly about random baseball facts at the dinner table (Now we all understand who has the most RBIs and who leads the highest baseball average in the American League).

Emma: Our little princess is turning into a major drama queen. This is also her pottytraining stage, and the stage she obviously considers her Big Girl Stage. But that's okay, because even if she colors on the walls and dissappears into thin air doesn't mean we like her any less.

Rob and Lisa: Rob and Lisa work happily together to keep their kids under control. They're pretty good at it, I guess. Well, Mom and Dad, thanks for being good parents!
