My Grandma's memorial service was on June 30th. It was really, really good and it was the first time my whole family has sung together (my grandma would have been so proud)! We sang "I'll Cast on Him My Every Care" and it was beautiful.
My sister, Julie, took this picture of our family after the service.
From left to right: my sister, Rachel, cousins Morgan, Miles, and Alex, me, my sister, Julie, and my grandpa in the front. Missing: my brother, Ryan (Army), cousins Jack and Zack (missions).
After the memorial service, Logan, me, and my Grandma Logan rode down to Arizona with my sister and her family. On our way down we stopped at Moqui Cave where they have one of the largest collection of fluorescent minerals in the world.
We also stopped at the Glen Canyon Dam before we retired for the night in the next town, Page, Az.

On July 3rd we had fun playing in the backyard of my sister's house where they had a slip and slide thing. My parents came over from New Mexico, and my brother, Ryan, flew in from Georgia where he's stationed in the Army.
That night we had a fantastic ribs dinner and everyone but my mom, dad, Logan and I went to the fireworks in Anthem.
On the 4th of July we went to the Mesa Temple
On July 5th we went to a Splash Park

Peyton and Ethan
While we were at the Splash Park, Ethan took his sandals off, and then ran across a piece of metal at the entrance of the jungle gym there. Needless to say, in 110 degree weather, his feet blistered and we stuck his feet in a couple of buckets of water. Julie still had to give him some Motrin for the pain and it knocked him out for a few hours. Poor boy!
That afternoon, Julie, Mom, Grandma, and I went to see Eclipse at the theater. We got popcorn and a drink and I think that cost us more than all four of us to get into the movie (it's just ridiculous)!We went swimming that night at the pool in Julie's neighborhood.Julie and Caleb

Me and Logan (he loved it!)
On July 6th we traveled over to Truth or Consequences, NM where my parents now live. They were able to get us a tour at Spaceport New Mexico. This is a site where they will be able to take civilians up into space, but it will cost each civilian about $200,000. They may eventually be able to use it for traveling around the world (so a flight over to Europe that takes about 12 hours will only take about 3) by using the Earth's rotation.This is what it will look like:
This is where they're at with the construction...I don't think they'll make it by 2011.

We also went to the lake while we were there.
Before we left, we took some family photos
On July 9th, Julie, Grandma, Ryan, and I and the boys drove back to Arizona and on Sunday July 11th Grandma and I flew back to SLC and it was Logan's first flight! He did sooo good and we had people complement how well he did. :) Thanks Julie and Craig, and Mom and Dad for hosting us and giving us a fun vacation. :)
