Time much summer!!!

This summer our family went on 8000 mile trip and we saw it all! We had so much fun that the kids have already started planning next years trip. Hopefulyy we will be able to stop in Lake City, Fl for a visit with the Frosyths and then up the coast to see Russ again.

 First stop was Badlands National Park to see the buffalo and to climb around on the cool formations

 Kirkland, Ohio was the next big stop. This is the Kirkland Temple which we were able to tour. We then went to the Latter day Saints visitor suites to see the Newel K Whitney Store.

 Niagara Falls, NY was very impressive.

 Canal boat on the Erie Canal

 Smith Farm and Smith House in Palmyra, NY. The Sacred Grove was also a highlight, but no pictures were taken.

More summer pictures to come later  :)

Pink shoe laces

So Dan's sister Coleen has breast cancer and her 15 year old son asked us to wear one pink shoe lace on the right side. Even Liam wanted to wear pink. So if you see us being a little different it's because we love Coleen :)

Chicken??

So the other day while we were all eating dinner Hazel went missing. From are table we can look out into the back yard. Liam yells "she in the coop", my thoughts are that she is in the fenced in yard outside the coop. NO she was in the COOP!! We all run out. Hazel is not afraid of the chicken in fact she was trying to feed them her dinner. (which was not chicken if you were wondering.)

Spring Break 2012

The Beach















Our group in the Redwoods




















































Sunset in the beach


For spring break this year we went to The Redwoods in California.
It started out wet and cold but ended sunny and beautiful. We had a great time. Not so much camping as planned, but no one was complaining.

Crazy kids

So I was thinking that I should put some more picture up before another year goings by. I found these. The marker face is from our last drive to Utah at Christmas.

DEC/JAN

Savannah was able to host a New Years Eve party.
She has great friends and we all had a great time.
Minute to Win it games were a big hit.
