Brooklyn's First Caving Trip

I took Brooklyn caving with my family and some friends for the first time. She loved it, she was in her element in there. She loved climbing the boulders and getting muddy. She got to see a bat and some cave crickets, so that thrilled her of course. I couldn't have been more proud. The pictures are pretty low quality but that is because we took them with a disposable camera, because no one wants to bring a nice camera in a place like that as you can see.


This is Brooklyn with my dad, he loved taking his grand baby through a cave. Brooklyn caved with us in there for 3 hours, he was so proud of her.


That is how tight the squeeze got, that is the top of the cave at that spot. Isn't she a trooper for sticking it out through that. Whats funny is that she loved it even more when she had to squeeze through small spaces and crawl on her belly.


We decided to stick her in a crack, her feet aren't on anything, she is just hangin out.


This is Brooklyn and my mom, Nana loved seeing Brooklyn enjoy something so much.


Brooklyn did so well in there, whenever the trail got hard we would just stick her on my brother's back, but a lot of the time she had it easier then we did simply because of her size, here she is just walking through a spot that was a back breaker to the rest of us.


This is everyone after we made it through the whole cave, we were a pretty dirty group of people. We are not all wearing brown we are just that covered in mud, it was a blast.

Brooklyn's Preschool Class

Brooklyn started preschool 3 weeks ago and she is loving every minute of it, this is her second year doing it. We made our own group with people from our ward and the moms just take turns teaching each week. It is her favorite thing to do. She loves her class they work really well together, they are all really good friends, as you can see in these pictures. Their names (starting from the left) are Jared Mars, Kyree Bassett, Addy Peterson, Savannah Urling, Brooklyn, and Lennix Talbot.

A Typical Weekend with the Young Family

Evie scarfing down strawberries as fast as we could give them to her.

Playing on the fun tire swing.



The girls watching their parents be silly and put up a 50 ft high zip line through the yard.

There I am about to go off our home made zip line it was really high and quite scary for a back yard zip line, i was really nervous.

There is my brother Palmer going, he actually was the Ginnie pig and went first to test it out for us, he almost hit the roof the first time so we had to make it even higher. It ended up being about 50ft high.
