Ducky

I love cats, and ever since Steve bought a motorcycle, I wanted something too. So for weeks I asked if I could get a kitten from my mom. He would give me a good explaination why I don't want one, and I would drop the subject until a few days later. When my parents came down for Riley's blessing and the 4th of July, a kitten came too! Steve surprised me with a kitty! He arranged it with my mom. So now we have our first pet, Ducky. It is kinda confusing that we named a cat after a different animal, but it is so cute!

This is the calmist it ever is!

This is how she ususally is.

She saw a dog.

She is pretty fun to have around. I love Steve and all that he does for me!

Picnic with the Pickerings

A few weeks ago, we went to the Great Basin National Park to have a picnic with the Pickerings and Tony. It was wonderful to be outside in the mist of trees, rocks, dirt, and a cute creek. These are the moments that I realize how blessed I am!

Steve picked me some wildflowers! He won't admit it, but he is a romantic.

Latara sitting on the bridge, striking a pose. Steve wanted to be in the picture too.

Jenny and her beautiful baby, Maddie. She started crying right when I took the picture.


The men cleaning up.



Trace got in the water. So what's a better way to dry off?!?
