Brock & Kim Belnap

...Anyone else feel like you are on a Carousel and life is just flying past you? The last 4-6 weeks have been insane for us for many reasons but a big one is all the traveling we've done.

We've had birthdays, two weddings, father's day, and missionary homecoming events. Not to mention two family reunions and Grandma's 80th party in Idaho coming up. Needless to say we've spent probably half of of the last month in Utah and in our Honda. It's been crazy fun and just plain crazy! (not to mention some other crazy business that is happening that we are excited to announce soon)!

Obviously the blog/journal has been the LAST priority but since I ~~never~~ rarely write in my journal or scrapbook, I thought I better back log a bit of the last month.

So this is the beginning of the beginning of our summer!

We headed south over Memorial Day weekend and spent a week with family. While we were down there my nephew, Damion, returned home from his mission and we had some fun family parties. I was also able to participate in my nephew, Jake's, fiance's endowment in the Draper Temple. I was also able to watch a couple of my nieces dance and one play in a soccer tournament. Lots of fun!
Monday was my 30th Birthday and as usual Brock had some fun things planned for us. We got up early and headed to American Fork Canyon to hike. Everyone and their DOG was there since it was Memorial Day! Fortunately, we were the only ones on that trail head at that time so we had a lovely hike with just the three of us! ( nice not worrying about bears=no gun or bear spray)
After hiking we scurried home and cleaned up and Brock took me clothes shopping. He practically forced me... I've been resisting because I'd like to lose some more weight! I admit, I am glad to have some fresh items in my closet!
Then we headed to my nephew's missionary BBQ where they surprised me with an "Over the Hill" party. Brock had our friends, who own "One Sweet Slice", make me an awesome tombstone cake. It was amazing and delish! It was a super surprise.
Wednesday we had my nephew's wedding, luncheon and reception. It was such a beautiful day to be in the Temple and to spend with our loved ones. It was such a beautiful wedding!
We headed home after that set of parties, unpacked, did laundry and packed up again and headed back down for some more fun!
Thursday my sister had her Bachelorette party which was super fun and relaxing. Friday we did some running around and Saturday was the wedding. The wedding was so lovely and we are so happy for Lynette and Earl. They are going to have their hands full with the blended family thing but it will be awesome:)
Sunday we headed down to Brock's parents for a few days. We had a fun family dinner and s'more roast the first night we were there. The next day we headed to Palisade Lake for the afternoon followed by Kaleb and Kadence's baseball games. We had an awesome time with the family!

Here are some pictures from the last several events! Warning, picture overload!
