I'm originally from Washington state where I had hoped to return after college, but it wasn't meant to be (at least not yet). I came all the way to BYU in Utah to get my education and ended up finding Nathan, my husband, who is also from my hometown, and who I dated in high school. Why I had to come all this way beats me. I did finish my degree in Early childhood education in April 2000, however, we decided to start a family rather than have me teach. Kirsten was born in Feb. 2001, then Zachary in Nov. of 2002 and Caleb in Sept. 2006. Now my life is my family and my full time- lifetime job is wife and mother.
Here we are at the trail head to the Y on the mountain in Provo. We hadn't done this hike in a while and some friends invited us along. We took the many opportunities to stop along the way for a picture along with a water and sit down break. It started out on the breezy side, but by the end we all were down to our bottom laters...at least those of us hefting kids up the trail. There is a shop of the younger hikers..(bottom) Brayden Laing, Holly Carter, Sophie Laing, Addie Laing, (top) Kirsten, Aspen Cook, and Zach. Tayler Cook, Caleb, and Colby were all riding up on the backs of the adults. We made it to the top. We are all taking a breather and having some gram crackers before we start the treak down. Here is the big group shot. I think it took us an 1 1/2 hours to go up...we did take alot of breaks! We did have fun though and that's what counts. (L) Cooks, Carter, Laings, Stitts.
