Extended Family Trip to Island Park

 The end of July, we went to another cabin at Island Park with my whole side of the family.  We stayed two nights and had an absolute blast!  Here are some pictures of the kids and their cousins playing in the reservoir.





 Rylan and his cousin, Cameron were pretty interested in watching the older boys play video games.
 Here's Rylan with his cousin, Makell riding in Aunt Tiffani and Uncle John's Rhino.
 The water was a little cold!

 Lyndie spent the day sun bathing.

 The cabin even had a hot tub! 
 We took a drive up to Big Springs to feed the fish and the seagulls.  We even saw a moose while we were there, but I didn't have the camera out and I missed it.

 This picture doesn't quite capture how funny Joe looked after he and my brothers-in-law got back from a wild ride on the Rhino in the rain.  His hair was standing straight up and the entire front of him was speckled with mud.  They had a good time though! 

 Here's Uncle Chad with some of the cousins watching a movie.
 Here's my little family in front of the cabin.
Grandma loves all her grandkids!

Yellowstone Trip

 Mid-July this past summer, we took a trip to Yellowstone.  Here are some pictures of our adventures.  Lyndie really did good for being so little.  Despite having a baby this summer, we still were able to do quite a lot of fun stuff.
 Here we are at Mammoth Hot Springs.


 In front of the Petrified Tree.
 We hiked on some trails to see some beautiful waterfalls.
 Here's my little Davey Crocket.
 Exploring the gift shops.

The kids were pretty excited about being this close to an elk.

Cabin at Island Park

 Early in July, the Seminary Council went up to my Stake President's cabin for a training meeting and a chance to go tubing with my Stake President's motor boat.  He invited us to come up a day early and stay the night.  We had the whole cabin to ourselves.  It was awesome!  He even let us use his 4-wheeler!

Inside the cabin.

More Cute Pictures of Lyndie

We sure do love Lyndie and take a lot of pictures of her.  Here are some more pictures of the precious
addition to our family. 





 The girls are all ready for church but Lyndie and I stayed home one last week. 






 Happy girl!  Lyndie smiled pretty early.  She's generally a pretty happy baby. . .
(Except for right now)  Can you tell which baby is real?
