Bryce Canyon

While we were in Utah we visited Bryce Canyon, it is a must see. We hiked a mile trail up to Sunset Point with a couple of Colyns brothers and sisters. It was really beautiful, even though we finished the hike and left in a hurry. It rained and we really didn't feel like carting around 3 cold, wet kids!!!! It was worth the experience though.

Conner's new Junior Ranger hat. He loved it for about 2 minutes and then broke it. OH WELL, we got a cute picture out of it!!!

Conner and Daddy posing for a picture. They are so cute.

Jaxon say Cheese! WEEEZE!!!

I had to make Gracie smile for this picture. She wanted me to leave her alone, she said to me "MOM STOP, you have been taking pictures of me for 3 days!!!"

Image
Tate, Luke, Jaxon, Gracie, Caleb and Tyler. Some of the Macdonald cousins. Do you think Gracie is out number just a bit?

RHINORIFFIC!!!

Colyn and I just recently bought a rhino. We were so excited to test it out for the first time. What better place to do that than at Brian Head, Utah. It was so much fun and the views up there were amazing. We would have ridin it all day if it wouldn't have rain so much. Still, good times!!!

Us in the Rhino!!!

I love Jaxon's face in this picture. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, can you guess what he is saying?

Image
Shawn and Stacy Macdonald in their Arctic Cat! It was fun to have a riding partner.

Another funny picture of my Conner. His face looks like a puppet!!

The amazing views... I think this is Cedar Breaks?

On the Road Again!!!

This summer my mom and I went up to Utah for a baptism and to see my sister Julie. We started off on the road on Thursday morning!!! The next day we finally got there...no just kidding, but it felt about that long. What should have been a 10 hour drive turned into a 14 hour drive when my moms new cars navigation system got us lost in Flagstaff. By the way, not the easiest thing to do getting lost there. Her navigation lady (AKA Vikki) had other plans for us and kept trying to take us back to Phoenix, and believe me, after 3 hours in Flagstaff, that was'nt sounding so bad. Finally we found our way out of there and we were back on the road!!! After a long, long drive and one more stop for ear plugs (b/c my very misbehaved, screaming kids were making grammy go deaf) we made it to Julies house. We did so many fun things. We went to Gardner Village, Provo canyon to fly kites, horse back riding, and more!!! I LOVE UTAH! One week later we were back on the road going home. The ride home was even worse! 1 hour longer, 3 screaming kids and 1 criminal speeding ticket....I'll leave it at that!!!

Look at Gracie in the wagon picture, that backpack was hers for that day. Conner decided that it was his and wore it for the rest of the trip. Gracie is such a good sister to share her things!!!

Its Party Time

This year we had Gracie and Conner's Birthday Party together. All of our friends came and we had lots of fun. Even Julie and Chad came all the way from Utah to be there, they are so sweet. Thanks to all that came and for the gifts. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACIE AND CONNER, WE LOVE YOU!!!

Conner's Hospital Visit

Image

Conner was admitted into the hospital earlier this month because of some severe tummt troubles. He was so sick, I felt so sorry for him.

Image

A lot of tests were run to figure out what was wrong. He was such a good little boy!!!

Image

While he was there his hand had an IV and he could not walk around. The hospital had a wagon that he loved. I must have pulled him around the peds unit in that wagon fifty times. OH WHAT FUN!!

Image

Conners cousin Tate came to visit him. Conner was so excited to see him. Oh what joy it is to be a boy!!!
