O Canada

This week I got to go with my parents to take my little brother to the MTC. He will be serving his mission in Toronto, Canada. We are so excited for him and proud of the choices he has made. He has been a great example to all of us and we are all going to miss him so much. Brock is the most even tempered, hardworking person I know. He will be a wonderful missionary. I found a saying the other day that really helped put everything in perspective. It said "A missionary leaves his family for two years so that those he teaches can be with theirs for eternity." Good Luck little bro with love you tons and know you will do a great job!

Yellowstone

** Warning** Picture Overload! Brett and I were able to go thru Yellowstone this month. Luckily it was a beautiful day. We were able to see parts of the park that I have never seen before. The beauty of Gods creations are amazing. It was great to spend the day seeing the Park and spending time with Brett. Sorry for the excess of pictures!

Old Faithful

Mesa Falls

I' m going to attempt to catch up on whats been happening. We have been busy enjoying what's left of summer and it seems like I haven't had a spare second to update the old blog- so here goes. A couple of weeks ago I took a couple days off to go camping with my family. Not far from where we were camping is a place called Mesa Falls. I was there a couple times as a child- but it has been years so I was excited to see it again. It is beautiful. I loved seeing the falls. We had a great time and I got to goof off with my little brother and sister.

Here is a picture of the falls- Beautiful

Me and my little brother- Brock

Being attacked by a bear-- I guess?




Have you ever kissed a Moose before?




I was shocked at how big the hand print of a bear is.

I thought this picture of my grandma was just too cute!

From the top looking down! Eek!

My mom was dying because this little dude kept standing

on the edge. I wasn't quite that brave.

Group hug. I love these two. I can't believe

Brock is leaving on his mission and Amber
is going to college. Everyone is growing up!

Family Fun!

Last weekend we packed up and headed to a local lake to have a little vacay with my family. We had a great time together soaking up the sun and the water. It was a beautiful weekend and the weather was perfect. The only thing that would have made it better was if it could have lasted just a little longer. We can't wait for next year!

Goofing around at the cabin

The boys love to be wild with Uncle Brett!

Brock standing on top of what the kids named Splash Mountain

Can I please have my towel Mom! (Inside joke)

Working on Splash Mountain. We acquired Splash Mountain from some little girls who had been working on it for quite awhile. It was actually pretty neat. They had water running thru it and everything. The little girls said it would take 2-6 years to complete Splash Mountain--too funny!

The girls got a leisurely ride in the boat while Jacom did all the work!

The beach-the sun-and Diet Coke---Perfection!

Hey I have a great idea--lets bury Jacom in the sand.

We can even put sand in his hair and he won't be able to do anything about it!

Jacom trying out what a size DD might look on him. Whose idea was this anyway?

Trying out our new float chair. Very relaxing!

Micklee and Grandma had their afternoon snooze!

Love that face Kolton!

Getting ready for my turn on the Jet Ski!

If you can't tell-- Brett loves the Jet Ski's!

Heath and Mandi

Brock and Amber

We even got Grandma on one

Ridin off into the sunset!!
