And Life Outside our Trips :)

Tyler has been doing an excellent job keeping up our blog with all of our fun summer adventures :).  I decided I had better get on the bandwagon and fill you in on the more day to day.  So...what has been happening since graduation?  I'll tell ya:

My man turns 24 :). He now sports a scruff beard more often than not (I attribute that to our frequent outdoor adventures and his temporary roofing job) and is as great as ever! 

We watch an eclipse together.  Ty found it not as exciting as it could have been, but I had a riotous good time with our solar glasses :).

I become more pregnant :).  This is me at 28 weeks.  Sorry I haven't been more religious with the photos!  I know you all want to see that big belly of mine.  Pregnancy has been a great experience and everything has been wonderful.  We're now at 33 weeks and I can't even believe our little Hannah Lora will be here so soon!  We've been educating ourselves as much as possible (thanks to thebump.com, What to Expect When You're Expecting, and our Lamaze class we have been taking) but any and all advice is welcome!  Because we still haven't found out where we are going for Ty's job, it looks like we'll be here in Utah for the birth of the baby.  We're thrilled, our families our thrilled, and it's gonna be great!  We only wish we knew where we would be and when we would start after she comes...we hope we'll find out soon!

Last but not least...my wonderful sister Camille Rose married a phenomenal guy on June 2nd-D.J. Zohlman is his name, and we love him.  It's nice to get some more men into the Harlan family :).  I love my sisters, but my Dad and Ty have been alone for too long!  Her and D.J. left a week later for Alaska for the summer, but they'll be home to see their new niece at the end of August :).  Their marriage was so beautiful and I'm so so happy for them.

Well, that's Kelley life in a nutshell.  Ty working, me taking my last master's classes (online), and us getting ready for our baby and waiting waiting for DuPont.

Until next time,

Ty & Bri Have Fun at Yurt

We took a little mid-week vacation and went to a yurt up Mirror Lake Highway. During the winter it is about a 3 mile hike into the yurt but because there was no snow we could drive most of the way. The hike was only about 0.5 miles. I was so tired from roofing that I could barely keep up with Breezer.

We had a little picnic down by the stream. I tied a hook to a stick and threw it in the water. The stream was so small and shallow that I didn't expect to catch anything. We took a little nap and when I woke up we had caught a little brook trout!

We stopped at the farmer's market in Park City on the way home and got some wood fire pizza. Yum! It was a great trip!

Canyonlands!!

So before we leave Utah I wanted to see the Doll House in Canyonlands National Park one last time. It will be years before I make it back here because it takes on some pretty intense 4-wheel drive roads to make it there.

We decided to hike out to the Green River-Colorado River confluence and we found this cool arch on the way.

This is a picture of the Colorado River about a mile below the confluence. If you look really close on the cliff you can see me. Later this day we hiked down to the river for a refreshing swim on a white-sand beach. We also had a lot of fun floating the Brown Betty rapids in our life jackets.

Beautiful Green River, UT

For Memorial Day Weekend Briana, my dad and I wend down to Green River, UT. Within an hour from Green River you can get to Goblin Valley, Moab, the San Rafael Swell, Island in the Sky and about a dozen other awesome places. We decided to visit as many as we could this weekend.

Mesa arch is one of my favorite arches in southern Utah.

We decided to take a quick detour over to Goblin Valley after hiking Little Wild Horse Canyon. Briana was 29 weeks along. It was an 8 mile hike and my Dad and I had to push ourselves to keep up with Bri. She is feeling great!!

Here's a picture of my dad's new Tacoma. He's had a lift put on it since this picture was taken. Pretty sweet!

Fun Times at Lake Powell!!

After school gets out there's nothing better than spending time in the sun. We went down to Bullfrog with Stephen Ross, Greg Atkinson, Brooke and Gordy Nielsen, Mike Pittman, Jordan Winegar and my Dad. We had a lot of fun swimming, boating, cliff jumping and hiking. 

Yummy! In all our meals there was always a little Lake Powell sand to give it just the right texture.

The perfect end to the perfect day.
