Happy 4th of July

This year we spent the 4th of July in Balnding. We had a GREAT time and enjoyed being with family. We traveled there going through Paige, AZ and Monument Valley. We had a Great time and took lots of pictures on the drive there. We left Thursday morning, and enjoyed a beatiful drive with a little rain storm.





On Friday we went with most of the family for "the loop" ride. Which took us to Goosnecks and some other pretty places. We enjoyed all of the pretty views but most of all the company of family. After the ride we all went back to Jayne's to do Racu, which is painting pottery. We had a great time doing this and ended up with some really cool pots, unfortunatly I did not take any pictures.





Saturday was the day of celebration! And no 4th of July is complete without a parade and fireworks. We had a lot of fun at the parade and especially enjoyed watchings the nieces and nephews being so excitted!

















On Saturday afternoon we went for a 4-wheeler ride to San Juan Hill, where the Whole in the Rock Pioneers crossed. It was a difficult part of the trip with steep and slick rocks. I wish I would have had my camera to capture such a neat spot. We also saw some other things the Pioneers had left behind and an indian moki. It was a really neat history lesson and a fun ride. On Sunday before we left Balnding Devin was able to brake out his 45 and do a little shooting. We had a fun time and enjoyed our trip.

June 2010

We went to my cousins funeral in early June, and when we were at the grave site my nieces and nephews decsided to make themselves nice and comfy. I thought it funny that they all just went and sat down so here is a picture.

My mom spent her early childhood in Goshen, but we rarely make it back. Goshen Cemetary is where most of my mom's family is buried. The first picture is of her parents head stones, then her twin nieces, and my mom's little brother.




The next day I went with Adrienne and my mom to take Alyssa to the doctor at Primary Children's Hospital. She was such a trooper and was so still and good for all of the people that helped her. And everything came back good, which made it a better trip. From the hospitial we had a great view of the Oaker Mountain Temple and Kennencot Copper Mine. We had a Fun Time and enjoyed our "Girls Trip".






That Saturday we had the Finch Family Reunion at my parents house. It was fun to see everyone and visit. No Finch Reunion in complete without the Talent show. The kids put on a funny skit, some hula hoopped, some told jokes, and one showed us how many brownies he could he. Overall it was a fun day!

May and the beginning of June

May was a great and busy month. The first weekend in May I officially graduated from SUU with my Bachelors in Elementary Education.







The same day as my Graduation my niece Aryale was baptized. That was really neat to see. After the baptism everyone gathered at "Grandpa and Grandma's Park" as Aryale calls it for a BBQ. At the BBQ we got the first picture with all nine of my parents Grandkids and them.






We were also privalged to help move Devin's mom and my sister in May and the beginning of June. They both have beautiful new homes in GREAT locations, regretfully I do not have any pictures.

The biggest highlight was getting a new niece Binlyn Tristin Broome. We had so much fun meeting her and welcoming her into the family.

Overall we had a GREAT month and enjoyed seeing all of our family!
