Snow Canyon Rocks!

I have a new favorite place on earth, it's called Snow Canyon.
It is down in Southern Utah, right by Tuacahn.

It has petrified sand dunes, red rocks, white rocks, lava fields and other cool stuff.


I love going there and taking pictures with my family.




I don't know what it is about this place, but I feel so alive when I am there.




We got some cool pictures of Jaron doing leaps on the rocks.



We tried all sorts of different poses, just for fun.


This is one of my favorites.


Jaron told me to throw my head back like I was laughing. It looks like I really am, doesn't it?



We really had a wonderful time exploring this beautiful, rugged place. I can't wait to go back.

Missionary Homecoming #2!

We went to the airport on Saturday to welcome home our other boy, Elder Hirschi, who served a mission in Lima, Peru. The plane was delayed, so we were really tired of waiting!
The beautiful welcome home signs we made. I think everyone in the airport was jealous of our artistic talents!

Here they come down the slowest escalator in the world...


It was so great to see Michael and Kenny together again. They were born 6 days apart and have always been very close.



Our boys, Special K and Froot Loops. Together again for the first time!



The Peruvian travellers: Grandparents Carma and Scott Hirschi, Bryce and Jessica(sister) Tibbitts (who did not go to Peru), Dad Karl, Elder Kenny Hirschi, Mom Debbie (my seester),Brother Danny and Sister Nikki.



Welcome Home Elder Hirschi! Jessica brought Kenny Krispy Kreme doughnuts and we brought him a Mountain Dew!


Danny boy is much bigger than his "Big" brother now, so they had to arm wrestle to see who was the strongest. Kenny won, but there was some talk about cheating.



We had fun listening to Kenny's stories of his mission and also hearing him play the guitar. Like Michael, he missed his guitar alot!



All the girls: Jessica, Debbie, Mom, Linda and Nikki. Kenny gave a wonderful report on Sunday and we had an awesome day having all of us together again.
