I promise we are not dead!!!!!

So the last 30 days have been crazy!!! We went to Deer Valley, bought a house then took off to Zions, Steve turned 29!!!! and then moved in when we got back. Now when i say we, I really mean me!!! Steve had his guys do all the heavy lifting and getting furniture in the right rooms, but as for everything else....that was me!! Steve lucked out and had his "brother's retreat" the same week we moved in. All 8 of the Mortensen boys plus the Silver Fox spent 5 joyous days together golfing, swimming, playing cards, watching football games and doing what brothers and father do best!!!

We go to Deer Valley every summer with my dad's side of the family. We all stay in a huge house, thanks to g-pa and g-ma Machin, play games and cause a little mischief!

The girls always get the toes done...the boys get to golf

Steve giving us a beautiful number!!!! Every year is something new. One year Corby took a picture of his butt with my mom's camera. it was soo funny when she found it later on!


Then off to Zions with our good friends Clayton and Annalisa. She has all the good pics, but here are a few to give you an idea of how it went down. Steve and Clayton become 12 year old boys when they are together. They swam, golfed and practiced for the next summer Olympics...in tricks off the diving board. The little boys played and napped and Annalisa and I relaxed....the best we could. and best of all Steve turned 29....one year away from 30, yikes!!!
