Life has been busy, but fun!

So I haven't made a blog entry for almost two months! Where does the time go!? Can I just say that summertime is a busy time, but we have had a lot of fun along the way! In May, Aaliyah had her first dance recital and we went to Yellowstone with our friends the Lee's. So far this month Dallas has found a new job, which has a been a little nerve racking, but hopefully a good move and I just ran the Wasatch Back Relay Race. Dallas left his job at Comp Health where he had worked for 8 years and he is now working for a software company and will be in charge of launching and selling the software that they have created. He has to commute to Springville until he is trained, but will be working from home from here on out. I just ran the Wasatch Back last weekend and can I tell you it was one of the most fun experiences I have had! In fact, I plan to do it again next year and now my sister has talked me into doing the Logan Marathon with her in September. Here are some pics of what we have been up to lately:

Aaliyah's Dance Recital

I wish this picture wasn't blurry! Aaliyah was so excited to introduce herself!

When she introduced herself she said, "My name is Aaliyah Aste and my daddy and mommy are Dallas and Brittany and Brody and Clowee." So she remembered the dogs, but not here sister.

She was really getting into it her, but of course the darn picture has to be blurry.

Yellowstone with the Lee's

Our friends invited us to come up with them to their cabin during Memorial Day weekend. We hadn't seen them for at least a year because they live in Arizona now so it was a great time to catch up. There cabin is right off of Henry's Lake so it has an amazing view!

This is part of their view of the lake.

Here's Adeline, Aaliyah, and Broderick hanging out in the back of the car while we drove through Yellowstone. They actually did really well considering that we forgot to bring snacks for them. I was way bummed to realize that this is the only picture we got of Broderick and we didn't get any pictures of Chris and Marchelle!

If you can't tell that little black spot in the middle of the picture is a black bear. We also saw a grizzly bear, but as you can guess we forgot to take a picture of it. The grizzly was laying on top of an elk it had just caught. The ranger didn't let us stay long to see it because it was too close to the road.

Aaliyah wasn't particularly fond of the smell of Yellowstone.


Wasatch Back Relay Race

So I don't have a whole lot of pictures of the race yet, but when I get them all I'll explain the race a little better. This picture only has half our team in it. If you like running I would recommend looking into doing this race, it was so much fun!
