A friend of ours took Tay, Austin, Emma and Daddy to a ranch to go horseback riding. The kids had a blast, and I couldn't believe how well they did riding by themselves.

Summer time....
So after I published my last post I decided I would add a few pictures from the summer. So things are out of order...but oh well...here they are!
Such a bad blogger...
Really...where does the time go? I can't believe I haven't blogged in over 2 months!! I know everyone has been desperately waiting for an update from the Hinckley family, right!?!?! So the summer has been kind of a crazy one for us. I know there is no hope of me getting caught up on everything we have done so I'm going to have to settle for an abbreviated version.
Here are some of the main events:
The boys had swimming lessons (they passed with flying colors!)
Emma started nursery (she hates it!! We are still working on that...)
Ira turned 30!!! I threw a big surprise party for him...he had no idea!!
Spent a week in Pagosa Springs, Colorado for the Hinckley family reunion
I went to girls camp for a week
Ira took the kids horseback riding. Emma loved it and giggled the whole time...she still does when she watches it on film!)
Taylor played on a t-ball team
Austin took a reading class
We had our entry way and kitchen tiled
Ira's brother Stu got married
Ira and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary!!
Sent my little brother, Brian,off on his mission to New Zealand
Went to Youth Conference
Took the boys to Raging Waters (Taylor went on everything he could. He had people cheering for him at the bottom of this one ride because they couldn't believe a kid his age was brave enough to go on it!)
Beyond these things...we spent lots of time outside playing, and swimming in the pool! We have had a really great and really exhausting summer! I can't believe school is starting up in two and a half weeks. Taylor will be in first grade! It will be so crazy for him to be gone all day! Austin is also starting preschool this year and will go three days a week. Emma is still our little princess and she rules the family...she is getting more and more personality everday!

Austin's birthday, St. George and more!
We took our annual trip down to St. George this last weekend for Memorial Day. It just so happend to fall over Austin's birthday so we got to celebrate it down there! We had such a good time...the kids love St. George...we went swimming and the kids had a blast jumping off the rocks!
We went on this really cool hike in Snow Canyon where you could hike up and see pioneer names that had been written on the rock walls with axle grease.
The boys never cease to amaze us with their fearless attitudes and excitement for life. They scaled up this mountainsides like they were nothing.
We also checked out the sand dunes at Snow Canyon. We tried out our skills catching air as we ran and jumped off the lip of the dunes!
The manly men!
Me trying to be cool
The way too cool goggle brothers!
We went and toured the tabernacle. This is a picture of Emma trying to get back inside after I spent the whole time outside with her because she wouldn't be quiet inside while they were giving the tour!
Ohhh..she's just sooooo cute!
Awww!
Emma loved the sand!
All the boys thinking they are pretty tough stuff
4 generations of women
Nothing better than the friendship of sisters!
OOHH...it was just so romantic!

The fam, just finishing our run down the sand hill. You can see how excited Emma was...hair flowing in the wind.
All of us doing a huge jump off the sand dune...ok, it wasn't that huge.
Emma relaxing in the pool, she has so much of Heidi's personality.
Brian and Austin unwrapping their birthday gifts. What fun it is to share a birthday with your uncle.
Emma smelling the flowers...so cute!!!
