{Em, Tate, and Krista}

My family made the long 24+ hour drive from Arkansas to Utah many times growing up. Even as a young child I realized there was something VERY special about Utah summers. And now that I am blessed to live in this wonderful state my love has grown.

Here are just a few reason's I adore Utah summers:

+ grass...lots of green lush grass (even though our yard is not up to par, at least we some)

+ the gorgeous evenings

+ spending many lovely evenings in the backyard chatting with family & friends while the kids play

+ more daylight...always a major plus in my book

+ tasty produce/farmer's markets/gifts from friend's gardens (hint...hint)

+ barbecue

+ my babies in diapers and shoeless

+ swimming at the pool

+ picnics

+ water Wednesdays

+ motivated to go to the gym...usually anyways

+ being cooled down by AC in a hot car or coming inside to its loveliness indoors

+ vacations...the more the merrier

+ Summer Olympic Games in Cedar City

+ running through the sprinklers

...and the list goes on!
