Claire and Noni

Claire and Noni being sweet...grandmas are the best!

Itsy Bitsy Horsies

While in Cedar City, we were able to visit with some miniature Argentinian horses. The kids had a blast and enjoyed bending and kneeling to pet these little guys...

Utterback Family Pictures

We finally took an updated Utterback family picture (its only been 7 years). Carrie set up the tripod and ordered a wireless remote for the camera. These are the untouched pictures from that experience this last week-end. Thanks in advance to Carrie for the hours she will dedicate to "touching up" our pictures so we can all look our best!

Happy 4th of July!

True to our annual tradition, we spent the 4th of July week-end in the small town of Cedar City, Utah with the Utterback clan. We had a great time visiting and creating such fun hometown memories....

Our family at the "5th of July" parade in Cedar City (since the 4th was on a Sunday)

All of the Utterback cousins: Van (1), Mason (5), Tatum (8), Collin (7) and Claire (5)

Only in Cedar City would a city parade include the LDS missionaries...

I love it!

Yankees Little League

Scoring a point for the Yankees!


Lovin' the catcher position


Collin's little league photo


Garrett in little league back in the day

Tonight was the last game of coach pitch little league. Collin played for the NY Yankees with his friends Easton, Jedidiah and Braden. The team really improved as the season progressed and all the boys had a great time. Coach Jim was amazingly patient with 13 hyper boys. Collin had some great plays and nice power hits. His favorite position was catcher (just like his dad).
