Our new car- a Subaru Outback! It is a little weird not driving a truck anymore but I think I am adjusting just fine. :) They only thing I don't like is that it has heated seats and Justin thinks it is super funny in the middle of summer to switch mine to high and watch me roast until I figure it out. Other than that I love it! Now I am trying to convince Justin we need kayaks to put on top...

My Mom took me and the Richard's and Harris's all to the Circus. The Greatest Show on Earth is not just a clever name, it was pretty great! We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Me and my Mom.

We went to a cabin in Duck Creek (southern Utah) for our family reunion this year. It was so much fun to have everyone together! Here are a few (or a lot) of pictures from our trip in no particular order.

Last summer when we went to Utah Casey Gooch introduced us to the best donuts ever at Lamars. We convinced everyone it was worth the stop for them on the way out of town and they did not disappoint! A great start to our trip!
Gage has a future in donut modeling.

My Dad's birthday cookie. It was fun to see the look on the face of the Paradise Bakery worker when I told her I wanted it to say "Happy Birthday to our Mangy Transient Grandpa".

Sadies cute face-

and stank face- she has it perfected.

Dean and Drey headed into the ice cave-

The Harris Fam-

Avery learns what happens when she throws a snowball at Justin-
I had a great idea to bake Min and Eric a cake for their birthday since we don't usually get to spend it with them. My friend Cicily posted about a rainbow cake she made and it turned out so cute I thought I would give it a try. It started out so pretty...
Then I remembered that the kitchen hates me (the feeling is mutual) and everything went downhill from there. The oven kept turning off, then when we finally got it on right it was too hot and caused the cakes colors to run and boil over everywhere. To top it off I forgot to butter the pans. Disaster!
This is not exactly the cake I had in mind. The kids aptly named it "Rainbow Vomit Cake".
It was actually quite tasty though and we ate every last bit of it! Who wants a perfect cake anyway?
Zane learned the art and addiction of styrofoam cup drawing.
So many fun games played around the kitchen table!
Me and Mom made all the girls matching tutus. They loved them!

Sweet little Jossy.

Drey is always an entertainer.

One day we went to Bryce Canyon National Park and hiked around a little there. Beautiful!

The Richards fam-

Jos, Juli and me-

What? Mindy is packing around a rock?! ;)

Zane-
Mom and Dad-
The Beecroft fam-
I jump Bryce Canyon!
Best cousins-
This little girl loves Justin and even let him pack her all the way down the canyon and back up since she didn't have any traction in her princess slippers.

Mindy, my Mom and I took the Richards kids and Delly to the new Sea Life Aquarium. We loved it! We spent so much time in there, it was pretty cool.

Me and Sadie in one of the "bubbles" that pop up into the tanks.
Starfish petting- they are actually quite tough and pokey!
Dean and his favorite- the octopus.
