Our Family Trip to Yellowstone

A BIG thank you to my Mom and Dad for the great trip we just took to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. We had so much fun and did a lot of fun things.... Sorry the post is long.

The First day we got there was Dax's first birthday so we had to have cake. He loved it and thought it was great he got to eat the whole thing.

The token picture of the Buffalo, we did see lots of animals and even a grizzly that was harassing 2 herds of elk but not close enough to take a picture.

This is the place that we called home for 3 days it is in Colter Bay and it is one of our favorite places to be, lots of cabins and lots of open space.

We stopped at the firehole falls. Braxton had to show us how fit he is.

We spent a day at Old Faithful it was a beautiful day.

lots and lots of people.

this is the day we spent at Jenny lake it rained on us but I love this place.

Then came picture time........ not an easy task with the entire family so the Boys had to show us there fine tuned bodies.. ha ha ha

Brandon was VERY proud to let me feel his chest.. Have you ever seen such a White belly???? Ray get some sun.!

The pictures turned out great and we have tons of fun filled memories.

Thank you, Thank you. We all loved it.

4th of JUly

This is how the night ended... to many fireworks to do even though we all love them.

The pile does not look very big but it took us forever to get them all lite

Even Dax got in on the fun

Brody loved them and has a good sized burn on his arm to prove it, but he never said a word about it.

Atticus was the smart one look what is on his hands. ha ha

Before we did the fireworks we had a BBQ

Braxton showing us his cute smile.

The kids learning to play... (nice)

We hope you all had a great 4th of July.. We are now looking forward to the 24th of July which we will be spending in Yellowstone.

Little Wild Horse Family Weekend

I know we have shared pictures of this great canyon before but this time it is a different view

The Day was beautiful and we were all ready to go

Happy to be in the slot canyon. Until we looked like ............

This, We found water and lots of it the first bit of water was soooo cold we didn't think we could do it will all the little kids, but they never said one word we just kept walking we had all be so excited to be going as a family we had to do it. After the first little bit of water it really did get warmer...

Of course we needed a family picture so we made the others behind us take our picture,, not sure they were to happy standing in the water.

It would go back and forth water , lots of water and then dry.

Little Dax was so good he never cried or said a word in the backpack he LOVED it.

Check out my Dad's legs they are so skinny, but this is just to show how deep the water was in some spots.

Sometimes even though Lindsey has shorts on it almost touched the bottom of them you never knew when it would get deep.

We all had a great time and will do it again anytime.... Anyone game?

Happy Easter and Happy Birthday to Ray

April 12th was a big day at our house it was Easter and Ray's birthday... how did he get so lucky?
The Easter bunny made it to our house and the boys were very happy. Dax got a little basketball hoop and Brody got a fun climbing toy so when and if it gets warm he can go outside to play.

Our Easter bunny

While we were trying to hid candy Brandon found a ring pop and put it in his mouth, Brody wanted it so bad he kept asking for Brandon to pick him up...little did Brandon know it was because he wanted the ring pop.

After a lot of cute faces he finally got the ring pop he would not put it down the whole time he was hunting for candy.. he loved the thing.

Cute little Atticus looking for candy.

the results of the BLUE ring pop.. I LOVE THAT FACE!!!!

After dinner and candy hunting it was time to celebrate Rays Birthday. He was feeling a little cheated that he had to share the day.

Grandma loved the ice cream and cupcakes,

So did Brody and Dax. (they have Zach wrapped around their fingers) It was Beautiful day and we are happy that we could share it with family.

We are grateful for the Savior and his love for us I hope you all had a great day too.

And for any of you that know Brandon, you will not be shocked to hear that he was the Salutatorian!Way to go Brandon.

Today I got the best surprise you could ask for. The delivery man came to the office with a delivery for ME??? Me? Everyone started to ask if it was a special day for me, as I walked up to the front of the office I am thinking No it is just a normal day.... The cute Man asked are you Tracy? of course I said yes and then he said these are for you... he pointed to the card and said this is who they are from.. Lindsey, Jon, Brody and Daxie.. I started to cry and said thank you.
