Lily's Baptism and Rock Climbing

Yesterday my niece Lily was baptized. What a cutie! She looked absolutely beautiful in her white dress and cute hair. All of my family in Utah and Lily's family on her mom's side were there for the special occasion. After the baptism happened and lots of pictures were taken, we headed over to their houses for a lunch and good family time. After eating all the guys headed out back to play some football. Bill and Natasha's boyfriend Kelly both played in their church clothes. It was awesome! If I hadn't been wearing a white dress, I would have been out there with them! It was fun to watch though.

In the evening Bill and I decided to head to Rock Canyon for our first outdoor rock climbing of the summer. It was the maiden voyage for my new rope I got last summer. Sad, I know, that it took me a year to get it out! We always go with friends that used their ropes. We kind of got weathered out, but we got in a couple climbs each and had a good time. We'll definitely be climbing more now that we've gotten a taste for it again.

Trip to Craig

Last weekend Bill and I left Friday night after work for the booming metropolis of Craig, CO. It also happens to be the home of my best friend Kirsten and her family. What a fun weekend it turned out to be! Saturday was her birthday, so we made sure to play all day. They have an awesome backyard, perfect for crochet and bocce ball, so we played both. That night we dropped her 2 boys off at a friend's house and headed out on a double date to eat some ribs and play more bocce ball at the park. The weather was perfect, so we couldn't bear to stay inside too much. We came back for cake and presents with the kids after our date, and watched a cute movie, New in Town after the boys were in bed. Sunday morning we took them on a little walk by a river near their place and got to go to church with them and just relax. It was such a fun weekend! Kirsten and Ryan move around a lot with his job, so I'm so glad we got to go there while they're only 4.5 hours away. Bill and I took some family pictures for them while we were there too. So fun! Kirsten is having another baby boy in August, and we'll head back out there for the baby blessing after that. I'm so excited to have another reason to head out there before they leave!
