Grand Canyon or Bust!

Matt and I met up with Logan, Cierra, Dennis, and Ashley in Flagstaff last weekend to make a day trip to the Grand Canyon. It was Cierra's first trip to the Grand Canyon, and only my third visit. Which is kind of crazy thinking how close I lived for so long.
Dennis, Ashley, Matt, Logan, and Cierra say "cheese!"

We sat debating on which tourist to ask to take our picture. After about five minutes we saw a lady who looked too nice to say no. We were right, she gladly snapped this shot for us. (There's definitely no hiding who the pregnant lady is now.)

Annika Makes a Surprise Visit!

My life long best friend called me and surprised me with the news she was in Arizona (all the way from Maui, Hawaii). After not seeing her for two and half years I made a quick trip to Flagstaff to hang out with her and her parents at my parents' house. Check out that 25 week belly!

Emily Visits Southern Nevada!

Matt puts the Xterra to the test. I freaked out when I turned around to see my car in the water, but it handled it like a pro.

Six Mile Cove

The weekend of my birthday, a group of us went camping out at Six Mile Cove outside of Searchlight. It was a fun, but windy weekend.

20 Weeks and Counting!

A Twenty Week Belly!

For those who haven't heard, we found out we are having a baby girl. I'm having so much fun looking at all the cute girly baby things.

Out With the Old and In With the New!

Sidney loads up for a trip home from Flagstaff. She is always ready for a car ride.
It was time for the old flooring to say goodbye and some new flooring to come in. My mom and brother came over for two days of putting in new flooring. I was so happy to see the ugly laminate and green carpet go bye-bye.

After two days of hard work we had the new laminate and base boards in. Beautiful!

Vegas Vacation

Say cheese!

California

Mom and I got to get away for four days to California.

Rocky Point, Mexico

I aways get the order confused when I post. I would start at the bottom and work your way up. The Leach Boys
As the sun was going down the captain of the boat invited everyone to jump overboard for a quick dip. Kent, Andrew, and Matt were quick to jump in. Becca, Nathan, and Ashton weren't far behind. As for me, I preferred staying on deck were I didn't have to think about what was beneath me that I couldn't see. As it turned out, the captain of the boat got stung by a jellyfish when he jumped in. We were lucky no one else was stung.

More Rocky Point

One of the best thins about being down in Rocky Point was getting to visit with Matt's brothers and sisters. Nathan and Becca were down from Nebraska, so it was an extra special weekend.

Matt's dad set up for all of us to go out on a Catamaran to watch the sunset. I was nervous at first about getting motion sickness, but it never happened. Actually, no got sea sick. We all had a great time.
Becca gets more and more beautiful each time we see her.

Kami and Ashton pose down over the hamock. It was such a great time for all of us.

Rocky Point Mexico!

Going to Rocky Point was a very last minute weekend away. We made reservations from the car on the way down there Friday night. We weren't sure what we'd end up with for a place to stay. To all of our surprise the condo was beautiful! The pool was right off of our patio, which gave us a spectacular view.

Convention in Riverton, Utah

I was nervous about going to Riverton, because we were going to meet Matt's mom and family there. We had just found out I was 8 weeks pregnant, and I was battling the "morning, afternoon, and night" sickness. It was hard for both of us not to spill the beans, but we wanted to get more into the pregnancy before sharing.

Graduation Season!

The next weekend was my cousin Leah's graduation. We didn't make it to the graduation, but we did make it for the graduation BBQ. Actually, it fell at the same time as my cousin Tiffany's little boy's 2nd. birthday. So, it was a high school graduation/ 2nd Birthday Bash! My brother Clay and cousin Brandon relax in the pool catching up on missed time.
Little Alex celebrates his birthday by being the first one to swing at his humungus Sponge Bob pinata. It was about three times his size, but look at that swing stance. He is a born baseball player!
Mom sits back watching the volleyball game.

My sister-in-law Andrea and I attempt to play giant basketball. "Attempt" is the keyword. It's tougher than it looks to get that big ball in the hoop.
