yes, we're alive! we've just been busy having fun (since Aaron finished the GMAT and we have a life again!). here's what we've been up to.
A climbing trip to St. George (Moe's Valley) with Aaron, Jenn and Tanner. We had fun climbing but I've never seen two kids have more fun playing in the dirt.

em was pretty happy about holding Tanner's hand on the way to the boulders

happy, dirty kids (examine closely for the dirt in their hair, etc.)

emery loves dirt. seriously. watch the video!
another fun adventure... a hike up rock canyon. emery loved hiking and wanted help climbing up all of the big rocky hills. it was too cute.
