Fun Fall!

We went out to the American West Heritage center with Tiff, Whit and Brecklyn when they came up to visit. (In october....still catching up :)) We didn't know quite what to expect but ended up having so much fun and the kids did too! They had pony rides for the Kids, a Train ride to see the animals for all of us, a hay bail maze for the kids (so cute :)), a big slide, Baby goats and lots of other fun things to go see and run around! We all had tons of fun! Thanks Tiff and Whit for coming up! We can't wait to do it again next year!!

TONS of pictures but I love them all and we just had to much fun not to put them on here :)

Daddy showing Carsen the ropes :)
LOVED the goats!!!
He would laugh and laugh when the goats licked his fingers
chased them everywhere
fed them crackers

I think he was a little goat wisperer :)
We had so much fun riding on the little train!

Lotaja and Jenny Lake 2010

I can't believe that It has been a year already since our last lotoja. Carsen was only a month old when we went last year. My how time flies!! We had so much fun. Keith rode again this year but my bro in law joel wasn't able to ride this year, we missed getting to follow him! It is always so exciting to see 1000 road bikers and to cheer them on! I'm sure it will be here again before we know it! My mom and dad were able to stay with us for most of the time, we loved having them there and Carsen just never can get enough of his grama and boppa! Grama got Carsen a toy phone and some funny little sunglasses to keep him occupied! He loved them (still does!) Thanks so much for entertaining him!!
We all went up to Jenny Lake again this year. We were a little behind everyone else and we got to see some moose right of the road. It was pretty cool. We went and walked around and played in the water. It was such a good time being with everyone!! We love you all and can't wait for this year!

Warning: Picture overload :) I just couldn't choose!
Just before Keith started :)
Cute boys!

So good to share his crackers ;)

Family reunion 2010

I'm going even further back with this one :) I forgot that I hadn't done this post yet until I found the pictures! So, At the first of September we got to go to our family reunion that is on my dad's side. They have it every year the same time and same place! It was fun to be able to go this year because we haven't been able to go for about the last 6 years since The Lotoja is that same weekend, but this year they moved it a week earlier! YAY!! It was fun and we go to go camping with Carsen for the first time. He really enjoyed it! We stayed in my parents trailer with them (thanks mom and dad :)) Carsen loved having lots of people around and he got to have his very favorite breakfast (scrambled eggs and blueberries) He got to do some of the kids games like the fish pond. It feels like it wasn't that long ago that I was that little kid waiting at the fish pond for my surprise and playing bingo for presents :) It was so much fun to have my own little family there and have my little guy get to do some of the fun things that I remember so well. I love getting away and just being with family! Thanks to all that came!! I'm excited for next year!!

Fishin' at the prize fish pond with Daddy and Grama


These two have some sort of magnetism to each other! It is so cute! Carsen just lights up when he sees his grama!! I am so grateful for them!! love you!
