More Pics From Our Havasupai Trip

Gardening in Flagstaff

We got an early start on the garden this year. In fact, it was a little too early. We got the garden in mid May thinking that we wouldn't have anymore freezes, and ended up having a few more snow days in June. Crazy huh? Snow in June!!! Anyway, the garden is thriving and we are looking forward to a good harvest of snow peas, cucumbers, tomatoes, basil, zucchini, yellow squash, and strawberries. This year is the first year we have ever done strawberries or basil. Both seem to be doing GREAT! Come see us sometime, and we will share our grand harvest with you all...

Clerkship in Chandler, AZ

Last week, I started my summer clerkship down in the valley at Physicians Physical Therapy Service in Chandler, AZ. The clerkship is going great and my clinical instructor is letting me do a lot! I'm learning a ton and it feels great to finally get to be in the clinic and treat patients. For the next 4 weeks, I am staying with my mom in Mesa, and it has been fun spending time with the family. Especially since David (25), Nicole (19), and Danielle (18) still live at home.The only downside is that Sunny still has to work up in Flagstaff at the hospital, so we are missing each other a ton. We got to see each other this weekend though (hence the pictures) and seeing each other felt like it how it was back when we were dating. What they say is true, "Distance makes the heart grow fonder." At least in our case.

Doesn't Sunny's new hair color look cute. This is the first time I've ever seen her as a brunette. I quite like it!

New Used Car For The Hyatts!

After a long hard 6 month search, Sunny finally found the perfect car for her. She wanted a 4 wheel drive for the winter snows in Flagstaff, but wanted to still get reasonable gas milage. She decided on a Toyota RAV4 because she liked the looks of it better than the comparable Honda CR-V. The RAV4 also gets a little better gas milage (26 mi/gallon freeway driving). Sunny looked and looked for several months but when the RAVs would go on sale, they would be sold in hours. I guess it is a popular choice of mini SUV these days. Anyway, she finally found a 2005 RAV4 that was selling in Albuquerque, NM. We made the 5 hour drive out there to pick up the car, and while we were there, we spent the day at the Zoo and Aquarium. It made for a short but sweet vacation for us. The zoo was amazing, with animals we hadn't seen before such as: Polar bears, koala bears, clipspringers, kangaroos, etc. The aquarium had sharks, stingrays, sea turtles, etc. We had a great time, and the car has been doing great for us so far!

Havasupai (Heaven On Earth)

This past Tues through Sat, Sunny and I went with our friends Brian and Joy Zukowski to the Havasupai in the Grand Canyon. It was everything we hoped for. The water was so blue and we took lots of pictures. Stay tuned for a lot more pictures as soon as I can get them developed and posted. For now, here is a picture of Mooney Falls in all it's majesty!

The Semi Annual Update.

Sunny and I are doing great and enjoying the cool weather this summer in Flagstaff. I'll attempt to catch everybody up on the Hyatt happenings.

Soldier summited the highest peak in AZ last week: Mt. Humphrey. Both him and I need to get back into shape.

My dad took the whole family to the circus this past weekend. The view from the sixth row was great, and the circus was better than it had been in previous years. Oh yeah, Sunny also became a redhead over night. Fun!



The first weekend of June, Flagstaff holds their annual dog show. I entered Soldier in it for fun. It was quite a sight seeing dogs everywhere, and although Soldier didn't win, we had a good time.
