7 Down...

That's right.  We've been married for 7 whole years!  That's a long time.  I could have gone to college twice by now.  Yikes!  But anyway, our anniversary was TOTALLY AWESOME this year!  Jeff planned  a surprise trip, right down to the babysitting (yes!!!) all by himself!  And I had no clue where we were going until we started shopping for tevas, ponchos, headlamps, and waterbottles!  What the heck?  I was kind of thinking the carribean or something before, but no.  Oooooh no.  Instead we flew into Phoenix, rented a Jeep (just to make it legit), and drove 4 hours to the end of the Grand Canyon, where we met our personal guide and hiking groupies at this little gem of a motel.....



And don't worry, sleeping in 'til 5:30 turned out to be a luxury on this trip!  Ha!  But it was seriously worth it.  We woke up and drove another hour to the trailhead of Havasupai and hiked down for the next 6 or 7ish hours!  By the end of the day we all had wet towels or t-shirts wrapped around our heads to keep us cool.  Luckily we had mules carrying our equipment down or I might have passed out! 


Naaaature!  Goo-lay!


Jeff boosting off a big one!


Havasu Falls

Day 2 was spent climbing down cliffs, through tunnels and chains, hiking in the river, jumping off waterfalls, and swinging on rope swings.  Good times, great oldies. 

Shayne.  Our fearless leader and amazing chef.  Who gets gourmet and organic hiking?  Oh yeah, us.







On our way out after waking up a 3:30 a.m.  The Best Western never looked so good!

IRONMAN!!

Watch out Lance! You got Wu Wellman coming through! That's right. I gotta give my husband some props... He just took down 70.3 miles in 5.5 hours. A 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run.           IRON. freaking. MAN!

Photo Sesh

My friend Courtney of Peas & Pods Photography wanted to take some pics of the RozzMonster, so of course I let her!  And they turned out super cute!  Thanks Court!








This one was too cute so I had to do color & b&w

4th of July

Via Our Best Bites

Fourth of July was off.  The.  HOOK. over here!  Fun times in Truman Court included grillin, chillin, slip'n slidin, and an impromptu pool par-tay.  We partied it up.  Happy B-day America!










Yosemite

We took a little trip to Yosemite last weekend with Jeff's family.  It was an awesome time to go.  The water levels were crazy and the waterfalls and rivers were out of control.  One of the hikes we did required ponchos!  And we got soaked!  It was super fun though.







Nobody had more fun than these two.  They're new best buds as you can see by the hand-holding.  Rozzi won't let anyone touch her hands and she is very independent, so this was kind of a big deal.  (And yes we had a cabin with a shower...kind of cheating, but it was a good first camping experience for Rozzi.)
