the barlows arrive!

due to the busyness of this past semester i have not been able to even touch my blog for 3 months... although i did excellent on my semester... my blog is lacking now. soooo be prepared for lots of updates and i will just pick up right where i left off.

While kellie was still here during the summer, the barlows came to town for the weekend. we all pilled into the denali and headed over to the hong kong for some dinner.. we had to get a photo op because its me and kel in the front, cooper, ryder and pierce in the middle, and kenedee, kandis and lincoln in the back... what a fun car ride!


 hanging out at grandmas house...




love this picture of them.. don't you all miss the summer now!

 these cute boys... 



 roasting marshmallows


jeff and demi's wedding breakfast 

and at the reception later. cooper LOVES cotton candy... who doesn't?


love this girl!


and of course we spent the day on the lake!


26.9.11

end of summer

kellie and steve flew out to idaho falls
 for a trip since they had to miss out on Lake Powell this year because
baby ryder had just been born! i was so glad they could still come out. 
we had a barbeque at the valentines, spent the weekend in jackson/yellowstone, and took part of IF's greatest activities... what a great trip!
CAUTION- picture overload...

cooper loves grandpa's motorcycle.. so he motioned me to sit next to him so we could check it out together.

 a little bike ride out in the country 

and a snack of garden peas... yum!

lots of playing in the sand


and a great barbeque at the Valentines (some of our closest friends)!

the next day we ended up here...

we took a tram up to the top to overlook the jackson valley


she's so cute!

we made it to the top

sweet pic kel took of the waffle shack at the top of the mountain

getting out of the cold for a minute

a tad bit windy

on the way back down

kellie loves to take profile pics 

could this kid be any cuter!

 that evening we went to the Bar T5 ranch for a dinner and a show. it was quite the production.

(notice they are in the wrong bodies hahahaha)


we all loved the wagon ride
  
great food and good music makes for a good night

sooo long jackson... Welcome to Yellowstone! sweet shot of the tetons

our good friend.. old faithful

the crowds love her 

and so do we!

 we hiked to all the falls and saw the grand canyon of Yellowstone


 the next day we did a lot of driving through the upper loop of yellowstone

we found a lot of deer roaming in town (look closely.. he's back there)

and ended with a cute pic of this kid and his raccoon hat.. always love visiting yellowstone!

once back in IF, we had to make a trip to the dairy to get ICE CREAM and see the cows

 the zoo is also a must for the little ones




sisterly love!

and a day at the beach... or what we like to call Rigby Lake


 so fun to have my sister here!
