Annie & Hoppy's Wedding

My beautiful step-sister Annie was married to her long time boyfriend, Brian Hopkins (Hoppy) on July 30th. We were happy to go and see their union as well as to see so many family members! It was absolutely beautiful!

The reception was so much fun!


We had a wonderful meal, awesome toasts/song presentations from the wedding party, and then had some fun dancing!  Unfortunately we didn't get to stay too late because of the kids, but we had a blast regardless!  Congrats to Annie and Hoppy!!

Dome Rock

A few weeks ago we headed out to Dome Rock (in the middle of nowhere) and did some camping and climbing. It was a pretty short trip, but pretty fun overall. Here are some photos:

The Needles in the background - due to fires we couldn't hike over there...sad day!


Getting the kids ready for bed






The morning was gorgeous!




We very much appreciate this sign



Dome Rock - this is what we climbed



The population of this town: 1 1/2 - how does that even work??


Trying to hike...didn't make it very far
