Happy 25th Laurel!!

My sister Laurel came down to visit and we celebrated her 25Th birthday. She is such an awesome person. She is probably the most generous, thoughtful and kind person I know. She is one of the best moms in the world and somehow manages to do most of it on her own. I am so thankful that god made her my SISTER!!
I love you Laurel!

(Practicing for skit)
This was my first time going to Girls Camp as a leader and I had so much fun. The first day I got there it rained and pour for about 6 hrs straight and even hailed for a good hour. Despite the rain and hail we still had a blast, we even managed to fit in the same tent and play games. We even got really good at flinging roasted marshmallows. I just love our small but awesome group of girls, THEY ARE THE BEST!!

Swim Lessons

These pictures are a few weeks old and for some reason I'm just now getting around to posting them. We decide to put Ashlyn in swim lessons this year because she is such a wild swimmer. I met Mrs. Brandi about 6 mths ago at my scrapbook night and all I heard was good things about her swim lessons. She is really hard to get into but I was able to get her in for one week. Let me just say, she is the best swim teacher!! Ashlyn was swimming the second day and by the end of the week she could dive in and swim across the pool with her face under the water. We will be going back to Mrs. Brandi next year for sure.

4 Generation Picture

I have the best Grandma in the whole world. She is always so positive, loving and thoughtful. I feel especially greatful because Mike doesn't really remember any of his Grandparents. They all died when he was really young and I have grown up with Grandparents on both side of my family. I am so glad that we were able to visit with her for a couple of days. Hopefully we can visit her again soon.

Visiting Grandma-great

On our way home from the cabin we stopped in Idaho Falls to visit my Grandma Wanlass. I have so many great memories of visiting her and Grandpa while growing up.
There is a treehouse in the back with a little creek that runs along side it. The kids were in heaven and loved every moment of playing a Grandma-Greats. She is the best Grandma any one could ask for. I love you Grandma!!

Teton Springs Resort

Having so much fun together!

Family Reunion

My family is getting so big now that we decided that it was time to have our own family reunion. This was the first year so we really didn't know what to expect but it turned out really good. We stayed in a really nice cabin in Victor Idaho. It was so beautiful and green there(yes I am comparing it to Las Vegas NV.). It was the first time all 9 of my parents children have been together in a really long time. There are 6 girls and 3 boys and now 16 grandchildren and only 1 couldn't make it. I am so excited to make this a family tradition and can't wait to get together again.
