Yellowstone Cabin cousins bonding

Yellowstone- Hebgen Lake: Krissie, my sister-in-law was so kind to invite us to her families cabin. The kids caught 21 and 17.5 inch trout. The kids played Nertz (spelling) non stop....at least 100 times no lie. So much fun and laughter with their cousins. I actually had to leave Clint with his family and drive alone with the kids. Poor guy had to work for a living since he took me to Europe and we already had a winter vacation in Utah.

Summer Family reunion in Yellowstone & Utah

What can I say...the family slept while I played in Yellowstone at the Hebgen Lake Cabin. I don't know if they appreciate these pictures. However, I know we all relaxed...some more than others. We kayaked, tubed, read, played games, watched movies, read and had fun. It was great to be together.

Kit Kat (Mushu)

So, here is my cat that I love. We have things in life we like and this one is therapeutic for me. His name is kit kat, but the kids named him Mushu after the dragon from Mulan the movie. He loves to be outside when it is warm or hot, but can't stand cold. He sounds like me. My husband and his brothers and Dad are anti cat people. Some people are not very compassionate to God's wonderful creations. Kit kat is fun to play ball with too. He is a spiritual cat. He comes for scripture study, and the home teachers better than the kids do. He also doesn't talk back to me.

Summer is here at last for Jonathan

Jonathan being 11 is busy,busy with friends over constantly. Playing Wii, Basketball, biking, swimming in the backyard and out in the woods. He is my blond baby boy.

Europe was a blast !!!

This is the Duomo in Milan, Italy. This cathederal took 600 years to build. It was beautiful. We visited Rome, Florence, Pisa, Venice & Milan. Switzerland was beautiful. I loved the spirit of Paris and London. Clint & I went on a trip of a lifetime to celebrate 25 years of super fun together.

Utah Christmas 2008

We watched Lindsey Bushman in the Nutcraker, my neice who is 16 and quite the dancer. She was the doll in the production. We saw Grandpa & Grandma Bland before they moved to Indianapolis at Gary Bland's place in Ogden.

I am standing in Arizona, Jonathan is in Utah, Erica in New Mexico and Clint in Colorado. We are on the corner geological surveyed spot baby!!! We can be 4 places at once.

Christmas in Utah 2008

We had a great time in Utah for Christmas. Jonathan and Erica learned to ski and snowboard...something that isn't what they see much of in Arkansas. We spent lots of time with family and had a great family reunion up Provo Canyon at the Aspen Grove Family Campground.
