Bryce Canyon

Zanna and I went to Bryce Canyon with most of my family last month and had a blast! Jathan could not go unfortunately because of work :( Next time love!

The Cook Tent


My parents got this phenomenal tent to cook in. It was so nice to be out of the wind and away from the bugs! Zanna was loving that she had her own little camp chair to sit in.




























Swimming!
There was a pool at the camp ground we stayed at. So while my dad, Corby and Mikelle went on a horse ride, we went swimming!

















Totally exhausted after a long day of playing and swimming.














Good morning! Check out that cheeser!~



























Hiking!
Carolynn and her little ones, Hanna and me and my little one went hiking while the rest of the family went on a horse ride. This hike was amazing. It was so beautiful. Check out the switch backs! This trail went down to a tiny little slot canyon. It was a pretty cool little hike. I got a bit of anxiety when I was not holding Zanna. She just wanted to run the whole way down.











Carolynn and her kiddo's.















































































Breathtaking. If you have not been then you should definitely go!














Braids

I can't believe her hair is long enough for braids! She is growing way too fast. How cute are these little braids on her?



The Shearing of the Goat!

Jathan and I got an angora goat last fall. Her name is Gracie Lou. We decided to sell her but the poor thing needed a shearing in the worst way and we thought we would be kind and do it before we sold her. We were very new to shearing so it was quite the project. Jathan's uncle Julius had some super old hand held shears so we attempted to use them. After an hour and only doing part of her belly we gave up on them. My little sister Gretchen use to be a dog groomer and my dad gave me the fabulous idea of using her hard core electrical trimmers. Oh the difference that made! Jathan had her done in no time!


Before
After
She looks like she lost about a hundred pounds. We had no idea how tiny she was under all that hair. Notice the little cut she got on her leg when we were using the hand held shearers. Poor little girl. Luckily it was not a big cut but still made us feel bad!

Rainy Days

Zanna enjoying her rain boots and rain coat. Jumping through puddles and standing under rain gutters!
