Girls Camp

Things have been super busy in the Harris home lately. 

A couple weeks ago I went to girl's camp for our church. I had a blast! I got to spend time with these lovely girls and got to know other girls from my church. It was such a fun week and even though I went as an adult leader many people thought I was one of the girls :)

 

Have I mentioned how much I love my church!?

We have been doing lots of corn roasting and have done some fun things since then I will try and post more pictures when I get a chance.

Havasupai Falls Day 2 & 3

 ...Continued from Day 1
{Friday June 10}
We woke up bright and early to begin our day.
(Reed took this photo and was so proud of it I had to post it)

Our first stop was to these falls called Rock Falls. Reed could get  enough of them and I lost count of how many times he jumped off them. He is crazy I know.

I just went behind them instead.

We stopped at some more falls to play in.

And some more.

After lunch we went back to Mooney Falls

We just couldn't get enough of this place.

Reed, Bryce and I decided to hike a little ways Friday night to get ahead start on the next day to hike out.

We just had to take a picture by this tree. Cute I know :)

We stopped by the village to take a look around. This is the LDS church they have there.

 This is where we slept, just a pretty view under the stars.

This is the reason we wanted a head start is for this bad boy called the switch backs. The road seriously steep, hiking down them was a breeze but hiking up is a different story.

Lets just say I was not enjoying myself at this point, but if you never challenge yourself you will never know what you are capable of.

 But we made it out and it was totally worth the pain! It was a blast and we just wish we could visit more often.

Havasupai Falls Day 1

{Thursday June 2}
We woke up at 2 am to drive to the spot of the Grand Canyon to hike down at. We started hiking down to Havasupai Falls at 5 am. This is what it looked like when we started. All you could see was head lamps coming down the canyon.

We saw some pretty sights along the way.

Tried to catch a ride but we weren't so lucky.

10 miles later we finally made it and was able to enjoy this beauty. The famous Havasu Falls.

We were so excited we could barely stand it!

We then took a little trip to see another waterfall called Mooney Falls.

It was quite the hike down.

This waterfall is the tallest in the continental U.S. and it is beautiful!

 We then played in the river below Mooney falls in little drops like this one.
The pictures really do not do this place justice.

After a LONG day we soaked our feet in the river and went to bed because we had a big day ahead of us tomorrow.

Day 2 to be continued...

Anniversary

This is a picture of our nephew Ezra at Riverfest this weekend. Yeah our roasted corn is that good, he was on his 3rd ear.

Monday was our 2nd anniversary! Can you believe we have been married for 2 years?! Time sure has flown by. (I have a separate post more on this later) We didn't do anything romantic, but its okay because in about an hour we are leaving to this place..

 

Awesome huh! Its called Havasupi Falls. We will be hiking in tonight and hiking out Saturday. I've never been before but that's all Reed's family ever talks about. Its going to be a blast, wish us luck!

Fun Times Outdoors

{Monday May 23, 2011}
We took Rudy to Farmington Lake with some family and fellow dogs. Rudy loves the lake and playing fetch in the water. Reed and I just have a good time just watching him run back and forth.

{Tuesday May 24, 2011}

We took Rudy for a little hike in Largo Canyon with Reed's brother Bryce, cousin Justin and his wife Brooke. Its been nice having some time off and we wanted to have some fun with Rudy before we have to do corn. (which starts tomorrow as a matter of fact)

 

{Rudy really thinks he is a mountain goat.}

 We had lots of fun this week which was a good thing because this weekend we will be working our rears off.

Garage Cleanup

{May 23, 2011}
On Monday Reed talked me into helping him clean up the garage and reorganizing it. Right after we started working he realized he had a physical therapy appointment and left me to clean the garage by myself for an hour and a half. Reed being the smart husband he is brought me back a little something.

Boy is my husband a smart man, he knows how much I love donuts. Nothing says I love you like bringing home these babies.

Backyard Transformation

In Octoberish we moved into the duplex we live in now and lets just say the backyard needed some work. Since it has warmed up lately we decided to fix up our yard before we begin our
summer job. This is the best before picture I have after we removed all the weeds and got the ground ready for to pour some concrete for a patio.

On Wednesday we poured the concrete, my hard working husband did a great job!

{especially for not knowing what he was doing}

I even had some company while watching. They kept asking me the whole time when they could go jump in it :)

Our backyard is looking good! We have made a lot of progress and I will post pictures when we are done with our backyard transformation. We are getting good practice for when we buy a home of our own.

Moab

Reed and I had a plan that when we finished school we would get out of town for a few days to relax. We decided to go to Moab, UT because it was close but not to close.

{Of course we had to take Orange Crush}

Good thing because along the way Reed decided it would be nice to pick up a hitchhiker. I said no but Reed did anyways. Rudy liked having some company in the back.

Our first stop was the Goose neck State Park.

 

This place had some awesome views.

I thought this sign was cool.
{Bluff, UT}

We spent the first night in Blanding with Reed's dad then next day we made it to Moab and we had to take Rudy to play. He loved these sand dunes!

On Thursday we went it to Arches National Park.

 

{the famous delicate arch}

 
The 3 1/2 mile hike was worth it but we were all hiked out after that and decided we will have to take another trip to do some of the other hikes at the park. 

 

But we still enjoyed some other views from the road :)

  

It was a great trip for the both of us and we had a blast getting away for a couple days with just the 2 of us, and Rudy :)

Savin' Up

Reed and I decided we needed to start saving a little each month for food storage and emergency preparedness. So we did just that but Reed decided the first thing we needed to buy was this...

That's right a hand gun for the food storage we don't will have! We went out to test it out a couple weeks ago. It is pretty sweet  I will admit.
Good thing I love him :)
