She's What?

Have you met my 9 year old? Yes, that's right - - 9!  She's all grown up.  Can you believe how grown up she is?  I can't.  I hope she had a good day!  We loved having an Olympic birthday!  And cousins too.




Presents aren't so bad either.



What!  Tickets to Wicked!!!! (who's spoiled?)



"There's nothing I really want for my birthday, well maybe a pogo stick."



Who needs cake when you can decorate brownies?



These last 9 years have been great!  But can we slow down the next 9 years?
We love you, Shayla!

Family Vacation 2012

What do you do when all your vacation plans fall through?  We learned that you take advantage of your neighbors and use their cabin outside of Yellowstone.  We couldn't be more grateful for such wonderful neighbors.  When we say "cabin" we mean a nice home in the middle of no where.  We had a wonderful time and hopefully made memories to last a lifetime!  



The first night was game night!  




Ping Pong, Anyone?





A gorgeous view (in more ways than one).





Home away from home!




Off to Yellowstone to see the beauties of the world!




Old Faithful wasn't the only thing going off ...





Shayla had a little tummy-ache while there,
 but she's feeling better now.




Hiking up to watch Old Faithful was the way to go!  
Avoided crowds and enjoyed watching the perfect view.




Ice cream at the lodge! What a treat!





So Beautiful!!





Had fun playing in the front yard!




The next day was a blast!  Cousins!!!!!! 
And a hike to Mesa Falls.







A great family photo to remember 
our great family vacation!




Feeding the fish.




Cave Falls! (is mosquito infested!)




On the way home we heard there was a party in Brigham City,
so of course we had to stop!  We love cousins....




And food!




Have you ever seen anything cuter?




We stayed for fireworks, but the glow sticks were the hit!



We had the best time playing, hiking, playing, hanging with cousins, playing, getting no sleep, playing, and cherishing our time together.  We are so glad we had this chance to go on this vacation.  We couldn't have pulled it off without the help of some great  people!  It's who you know.....not what you know that made this happen!  Thank you Cannons for your generousity!
