Yellowstone Park

We had a great time in Yellowstone Park, camping with my parents. They are pro Yellowstone guides and campers!! Thanks mom and dad for a great time. Old Faithful our first stop.




This lake Randy really wanted to scuba dive in it. It was so clear and blue.

We hiked up to sapphire falls. Alyssa loved the backpack.

The same falls






Overlooking some mud pots and hot springs




Buffalo on the side of the road.


The canyon of Yellowstone. The sides of the canyon were really yellow stone.




These were the lower falls. We went on a hike down to the falls and this was the overlook. It was awesome. The picture doesn't do it justice. It is really high!


artist point, we saw a mom deer and her fawn here



My parents cooking breakfast at camp.

We got a picture of the welcome to Yellowstone park sign as we were leaving. FUN!!!! Lets do it again next year who wants to come?

Brandons 9th Birthday

Brandon had a fun 9th birthday. It was a little bit cold so we went bowling for his birthday and had dinner with everyone at my parents house. He had a football cake. He got some new golf clubs and some balls and a golf glove. He also got some legos, a ds game, a badmitten game, battleship and domino's game and of course some money.
the cousins Harmon, Wyatt, Emma, Tyler, Brandon, Alyssa, Justin, Sarah, Adam, Issac, Shae and Jill are in the background








The Swimming Hole

When we were in Wyoming one afternoon we went over to the swimming hole in Auburn close to my parents house. When we were growing up we would go the to "swimming hole" on the warm summer evenings. My sisters and brother and kids and my mom had been playing on the rope swing a couple of days earlier and told us how much fun it had been so we thought we would try it. When we got there my sister Candace said wow it is much colder than it was yesterday. Lucky Us! We all had to try out the robe swing but Justin and Randy were the only ones daring enough to let go and drop in the freezing water. When I swung around the second time I couldn't get back to the shore so against my will I had to drop off.














Four Generations

During our family reunion I grabbed my Grandma for a four generation photo

Brandon's Wolf Badge

Brandons wolf leaders mom and Sister Walker

Brandon received his wolf badge and is ready to go on to the bears in cub scouts. It was fun being his leader and I will miss him in our den, but Justin will be in cub scouts in December.
