Whoa! Almost 2 months of not blogging. So sorry! (I hear echos...). So in order to feel 'caught up' on my blogging you're going to get the last 2 months in pictures. We've been busy with some traveling, a new school year, Ash working a ton (fingers crossed on the two projects he hears back on this week!). And now we're gearing up for Helena's 5th birthday and a few family visitors in October.
So, a recap: We met up with my brother Evan & his girlfriend Kailey and two other friends as well as our good friends Erin & Todd & Alex & John in Moab, UT for a long weekend in August. We visited Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Park and had a grand old time.

I also went on a girls trip to Santa Fe with Aimeeliz and Erin. We had a lot of fun eating, drinking, shopping and horseback riding.

| Oh, and wine tasting.... yummy! |

| Our rancher / guide - Russ "the buffest cowboy in the west!" He was awesome and smelled like whiskey. |
Ash went to Detroit over Labor Day to his step sister Susanna's wedding. We were sad the rest of us had to miss it. Looked like such a beautiful and happy day.

| My mom visited us as well, and we took a little trip to the Uinta Mountains here in Utah. Hiked to Wall Lake...beautiful! |
