More hiking

   

Matt and I got a sitter for Darby on Saturday and took off to hike the Crimson Trail and to see the "China Wall".  It is about a 4 mile hike and it took a little more than 4 hours for us to do it.  We only had to stop 100 times to take pictures...but I guess that's what you get for marrying a photographer!  It was a cloudy day mostly, but at times the sun would shine through, and at others, we were being rained on with big fat drops.  But it was a ton of fun and made for some great memories.

 

Wind Caves

We went hiking today up Logan Canyon to the wind caves. It was a lot of fun. Darby got a little bored on the hike but loved to run around once we got there. Someone had previously built a fire inside the cave and Darby decided to play with all the ash...and the next thing we knew...she had black lipstick on! Ew Gross! But it felt good to get out in the fresh open air. And we went so early that we didn't even have to worry about mosquitos!

Logan River Trail

We went hiking on the Logan River trail. Darby had tons of fun and she played around in the river. If we let her she would have dived right in. She loves the water!!!!

Lagoon

In July, we went to Lagoon with Matt's mom for her company picnic day. Darby loved playing with Nonna while Matt and I had fun on the big coasters. We had a lot of fun in Lagoon-a-beach and Matt loved being in the water with Darby. Darby is our water baby. The one small issue is that she likes to inhale the water. We're trying to teach her to not drink it too. But she loves to splash around and play in any water she finds so she better learn fast!

April in California

We took Darby to Disneyland to celebrate her 1st birthday! Well, that and to celebrate Matt turning 30. We had a great time. Disneyland has always been a special place for Matt and I. We were very excited to share it with Darby and even though she won't remember any of it, we will and we will have all the fun pictures to show her.

Darby

Darby Ona was born April 21, 2007 at 2:14 PM.  She weighed 6 lb 14 oz and was 20 inches long.  She has made us smile and laugh from the first second and we haven't stopped.  We had no idea it would be this wonderful.

Just Married!

We were married in the San Diego Temple on June 21, 2003. Even though the day was hectic and frustrating at times...everything went right once we arrived at the temple.
