Amy and Grant planned a beautiful and worshipful wedding ceremony

I can't believe Amy is married!

My family (mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law, niece, and nephew) went on a hiking trip last week to the Grand Canyon. I couldn't go with them :-( but these are some pictures of their amazing hike.

My dad, standing in front of this wonder of nature.

They did 25 MILES the first day and 25 MILES the second day! What a hike!

The whole fam on the South Rim.

I personally prefer THIS version of the picture. :-P

While I'm at it, can I just say that my nephew is the cutest kid on the planet?!? :-)
