Leah’s Bridal Shower

I always get to write about cute bridal showers that I’m not invited to.But, from what I hear, Leah’s was very cute indeed. Here are a couple pictures:

If you want more details, talk to Kristie…I’m sure she’d be delighted.

Hiller Family Reunion

Can’t believe it’s been a year since the last Hiller reunion…I remember writing the post about the first one I attended a year ago (roughly).

It was really great to see everyone…and this year’s was extra cool because they rented an enormous, inflatable bouncey slide. They said it was for the kids, but hey, Kristie and I are still kids:

RSL on Pioneer Day

Tonight we got a group together to watch a Real Salt Lake soccer game. Muchos gracias to Jer for making that happen. I asked a lady in front of us to get a group shot, and somehow she managed to produce this:

Kristie and I are only half in it.

The game was awesome…RSL had a great comeback win and they had a killer fireworks show afterwards.

Bingham-Kehl Festivities

Kristie’s friend Jessica just got married to her fiancee Brian Kehl. Football fans might know Brian as a former BYU standout, or as a current linebacker on the New York Giants.

Here’s a picture of the crazy girls at her bridal shower:

And a shot of the happy (and blurry–sorry) couple at their reception at the Grand America Hotel in downtown SLC:

We moved! A little.

We’ve moved out of Alpine Village apartments to a house in north Orem with a quaint little back yard. It feels homey, we really like it. It’s less expensive, closer to work for both of us, and represents baby steps towards moving on from Provo.

Many thanks to those who helped us with the move. Next time maybe we’ll choose one trip in a U-Haul over thirty in a Ford Escort.

4th of July Weekend

Kristie’s family got to come down from Boise to spend a great 4th of July weekend with us. Despite threats of rain, we were able to spend the majority of it out in the sun (which made for a very happy tommy). On Friday morning we packed food, frisbees and longboards for a picnic at Rock Canyon Park. Here are a few pictures from lunch and riding down the canyon:

That night we went out for Thai, then got sucked into a Twilight Zone marathon on TV.

Saturday morning we went to Provo’s annual 4th of July parade, where we got to catch up with Jeriann, and her adorable daughter Ruthie.

Later that afternoon we grabbed lunch and then set up a blanket on the lower MTC lawn, which gave us a pretty awesome view of the fireworks over the Stadium of Fire.

[before you compliment me on my photography skills, I must disclose that I didn't take the above picture]

The traffic was so congested after the show, that we ended up falling asleep in the blankets while waiting for things to clear up. Cole and I made it back pretty quickly however, riding seated on longboards (bobsled style) down the 2 mile winding roads to our apartment.
