Washington

This last summer my sister and I went on a road trip to Washington to spend some time with my brother and his family. We were asked to judge a clogging competition, went swimming at the lake, and went to Ensign Ranch while we were there. I had such a great time with them. I only wish we lived closer so I could see them more often.
Katelin makes me laugh. She is such a sweet girl but is also a total tomboy. I love her outfit in this picture especially her socks that are rolled down.

Savannah is there youngest. She is total opposite of her big sister. She is a girly girl through and through. She can be so sassy and sweet at the same time. I just love it.

Weston was so little when I moved from Washington. I still can't believe this is him and that he is growing up so fast. He bore his testimony at church while we were there and it totally blew me away. He has such a strong spirit and is such a good kid.

And then there's Cody. He is SO much like his dad it kills me. I think my mom has about 20 pictures of Kyle doing this exact same pose. Cody is such a hard worker and is so good with his animals it amazes me. He even made us breakfast one day while we were there all by himself. When we went up to ensign he was the first to go and get the wood. After dinner he would always stay and help me clean everything up till it was all done.

As you can tell from the pictures when we went to the lake the boys decided it would be so fun to get in a sand fight with me. I spent the next week scrubbing the sand out of my hair. the boys however decided that they weren't dirty enough so they made sure to cover there entire bodies with sand before we left.

While I was staying up in Washington we decided to go stay up at Ensign Ranch. This is the same camp that I use to go to every year for girls camp. It brought back al ot of memories and I had a blast up there. We stayed in a rough built a-frame cabin. There are some spots in the roof and flooring where you can see outside. When we first got there we found a squirel in our cabin. Sorry I couldn't get the picture to turn but this is my nephew Cody standing in the middle of all our intertubes. I forgot how beautiful it is up there. this is a little river on the ranch. One day Weston and Cody got to ride on the top of the suburban after swimming and put on a pretty funny show for us. They had this HUGE slip and slide hill and you use the intertubes to ride down on. It was really fun.

You can see from this picture how the inside of the cabin looks. check out the ceiling.

Ever since last February when my sister had her twins, we have been spending a lot more time with her and her kids. I think they think this is their vacation/ get away spot. But we love having them come.they were just out here a few weeks ago and these are some of the pictures we took while they were here.
Mack on our way to Washington this last summer, had a powdered doughnut and this is what we found after he had finished it.

This is Addie. She is such a sweet little baby and LOVES baby dolls. Her little cry melts uncle Mikes heart!

this is Lydia. She is such a funny baby. She definitely has a Big personality. She gets into everything and is always doing something silly.

Well that's it for now. We have alot of birthdays and fun things coming up so I am sure we will be posting more. make sure to check back!
