Bryce ~

 

We ended our summer camping vacation up at Bryce National Park with Gordon's family. It was breathtaking & absolutely beautiful! We did a few hikes, Some of the girls were not huge fans because it was pretty dang hot! We went to an astrology thing one night and we were able to look at the moon & stars through some pretty cool telescopes.Swimming was a daily event to stay cool and lots of visiting around the camp fire. Most of all it was just a relaxing time making memories and having fun! I cherish so much the TIME I get with my family. Life moves so quickly and we are all so busy. The Girls are growing up way to fast. I hope they cherish this time as much as I do ~

Family Pic's 2010

 

Our beautiful daughters are growing up way to fast! I'm so proud of each of them and I wish so badly I could freeze time. I am so grateful that I get to be their Mom. They teach me so much and I admire their strength and unwavering faith.

 

Curtis Family 2010. How truly blessed am I to have all these fabulous people in my life as my family & my dearest friends. I just need to look at these pictures whenever I'm feeling down because how could life be anything but great with a family like mine!

 

If anyone can find a way to laugh and have a fantastic time while taking family pictures with 22 people.....it us!!!! And if you have ever been curious where we all get it form, it's my Dad

 

All the cute Kids. Gosh they are so big! I'm feeling so old!!!

 

4th of July ~

 

Before we left on our summer camping trip we got to spend some MUCH needed time with my brother, Brackons family! They came and spent a week in the heat with us & we had a blast! The cousins were all so excited to be together and we were all super excited to meet baby Kade! Oh my goodness he melts my heart! So fun to have a baby around again!

We went to the Sun Bowl on the 4th & listen to some music and watched some GREAT fireworks! There is just something about summer time, family and fireworks! I just love it!!!

Fishing Bites ~

 

Of Course Gordon had to fish while on our trip, however he was not the only one getting bites! Oh my gosh the mosquitoes were HORRIBLE!!!! I felt so bad for my girls they got the worst of it! I think we spent $50 on bug spray and they still looked like this! We were so glad to move on to Bryce Canyon where the bugs were not bad at all!

Summer Vaction 2010 ~

 

We found a pool and a dinosaur museum to go to while we were on our camp-o-rama. The girls had a blast swimming & we thought we should throw some learning into this adventure! Oh and Gordon had to see if he still had his sweet diving skills!

Summer Pizza Party ~

 

We had some friends & family over at the beginning of summer and made homemade pizza (and Gordon's famous chicken wings)in my Dad's pizza oven! We had so much fun we can't wait to do it again!

Minute To Win It ~

 

We went on a big family Camp-O-Rama this year with Gordon's family for our summer vacation. We had soooo much fun! Gordon Aunt Jeannie planned some really fun games for us all to play. They were all form the game show Minute To Win It! Oh the laughter & good times that were had! I was on picture duty most of the time because I got eliminated early and I had tears running down my face! It was hard to focus because I was laughing so hard! Great memories for sure!

Mallorie First TRI ~

 

Mallorie trained with her Dad for her first Triathlon! She did such a great job & it was super emotional. She was so nervous the night before. I said "do you have butterflies in your tummy? She said well I think they are caterpillars right now and tomorrow they will be butterflies" I had to laugh, it was so cute! I am so proud of her drive and hard work! She took 2nd place over all! Way to go Mal!

Guess who's Back ~

 

Gordon Returned to competing in triathlons after a two year break! We went to Huntington Utah last week and he ROCKED it! He has lost over 25 lbs to prepare and looks GREAT! This TRI was a special one for a few reasons. First Mallorie competed for her first time (made her Daddy proud) and Gordon's Mom, Aunts & a few cousins also participated. Gordon took 2nd place in his age group! Whoo hoo
