Foto Friday--Cougar Style

Saturday in Provo, Utah:

I don't know if this shot was staged or just came out that way. Knowing these two, it must have been staged.

Evie was a trooper. She went and went and went until she was spent. See?
We spent over an hour on the big hill outside the library's atrium--rolling and rolling and rolling and crying and fighting and playing.
Hyrum never stopped climbing that hill and running or rolling back down.
Doesn't this remind you of Simba hiding in the grass, ready to pounce? Evie was safe, I can promise you.
Micah, Micah, Micah. That boy. Gotta love him.

The kids rolled up and down the hill a million times, completely oblivious to the fact that people were studying on the other side of the glass. Without warning, someone rushed out of the library and who did we see? Heidi's friend Heather and her fiance, Greg. Greg had leaned over to Heather and said, "I think the Dentons are out there." He was right.
And, as of today, they are Mr. and Mrs. Greg Zollinger. Congratulations, guys. Wish I could be there. See you next Saturday.

Tucker requests that he and Ben not be misinterpreted as a married couple. Thank you.
And what was waiting for me when I got home? I bet you can't guess.


It was worth every load. Every dirty shirt. Every missing sock. Even Lily's food poisoning filth.
Worth every second.

  12. What a fun trip! Autumn is so nice in Utah. I can see that you all had a lot of fun. Except for the food poisoning part. I've been wanting to go to Utah in the worst way. Unfortunately, the next time LaMar is going is the weekend I'm going to Mesa. We have a hard time coordinating between our many chicks.

  13. Hey Jen, glad to see you're back online! It really does look you had a wonderful time, must've really reenergized ALL of you - great photos, too ...

    And, no, no boots for me just yet - though I call every Friday to check - 6 weeks I've been waiting now ... *double sigh* ... a true test of patience ;-)

  18. I remember rolling on that same hill, and getting busted for ice blocking down it too. Those laundry piles are definitely the evidence of too much fun.

  19. Looks like lots of fun. You picked a great time, we have had beautiful weather! I am wearing that exact same BYU shirt right now, hoping that TCU doesn't beat us too bad!

  20. Love the pictures of Evie...the crashed out one and the "Simba" one. LOL.

    Laundry is the biggest splash of reality. But it sounds like it was indeed well worth it.
