4th of July Haymore Family Reunion

We loved this family reunion trip to the beach. Grant and I flew on our first flight together and then got a rental car with his parents to drive down to Pajaro beach. We got to spend so much good quality time with the Dexter side of the family. We ate delicious meals, played volleyball on the beach, watched fireworks, and most especially witnessed Charis and Jared's engagement. It was definitely a 4th of July to remember!

Emerson made the trip so much fun. Baby snuggles are the best!

Grant especially loved the volleyball on the beach.

Games with the Pace's was a blast!

Jared and Charis got engaged! Wahoo!!!!

Our Trip to see the Redwood Forest. It was beautiful and the trees were amazing. Sadly, I wasn't feeling well that day and I accidentally left my phone at the hotel. I spent most of the day worrying over the phone, but luckily the Dexters were kind enough to drive an extra hour and a half (with traffic) to go get my phone. Then they rushed us to the airport to make our flight. I have the kindest in-laws ever!

The "drama" of having to wait for this eternal family of my own caused me a lot of heartbreak as I desperately tried to wait patiently for the right timing and made a lot of dating mistakes. As I entered my freshman year of college, my priorities started to shift. I started worrying about school, finances, friends, and finding time for fun and I wasn't so focused on marriage and family anymore. Instead, I left on my amazing mission and to my surprise (and my parents surprise), I found myself married a short 2 years later at the age of 21. Grant definitely is the man of my dreams when i...

Family Time in Lehi

We got to hang out with all the siblings and nieces and nephews for a few days and it was awesome! We dyed Easter Eggs, did Easter egg hunts, did egg jousting, watched Cokeville Miracle, and went out to eat. We tried a Thai and Japanese food restaurant. Quinton loves to play outside with his new uncle Grant.

Thanksgiving Break

We spent the weekend after Thanksgiving with Jeff and Melinda down in Saint George. Here we enjoyed some Mexican food at Irmitas.
