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!

My Little Zanna

Here are a few random photos of my little darling. She is getting so big! It is just so crazy. She is not my little baby anymore :( She has been so much fun. She is currently copying everything we say and do. I just love watching her. It is fun to see her figure things out. It cracks me up how coordinated she is. She has been jumping on my mom's trampoline (when there is good weather) for the past month or so. She jumps and jumps and jumps! She also loves going down things head first. Such as the stairs or when she is getting off the couch she lowers her head down to the ground and then does a little peanut roll off. Her other favorite thing to do is skip, or as we call it trot!

I could just die over these pictures. She looks so cute as a little bunny!

I have been playing around with the curling iron and Zanna's hair. She looks so darling with it all curly like. I wish she still had her natural curl she was born with... oh well. I am just glad I have such things as curling irons so I can play!

A few cute ones of her hair.

This one kills me. Her daddy was teasing her in the background! That is why she has such a huge grin on her face.

Beautiful Bed Head!

The Rain Boots. She just loves these things! And they have come in handy with all the wet weather we have been having.

OH those little legs are so cute. I could just gobble them all up! :)

This is the little blankie I made Zanna about a month ago. She LOVES it. She has to snuggle with it every morning after she wakes up and after every nap. The other morning after she woke up I ran the bath for her and she would not get in without her blankie! She was so upset when I took it away from her. That bath lasted about two minutes and I learned never to put her in the bath tub before she has had time to snuggle!

Henry Mountains

Last weekend we went camping with Brad and Rebecca Roberts and their little girls. It was so fun to get out of town and play. Well the boys did most of the playing... we did most of the cooking, cleaning and watching kiddos... but it was still really fun! We brought the horse trailer and the horses and Brad & Reba brought the four wheelers. It was Zanna's first camp out and she LOVED it!! She almost gave Jathan and I a heart attack however. She is FEARLESS. We had the horses tied up outside of camp and she made her way to them at least ten times a day. We had to watch her like a hawk. Jathan looked up at her right as she was getting to the horses and she walked right under Ruby's belly!!!! AHHHH!!! That child, that child!

Jathan and Brad went on daily rides to try to scout out buffalo and find sheds... sadly they never came home with storries of buffalo and they did not find any sheds either... sorry guys!! Next time!!

Brad and Rebeccas camper trailer. This is where we cooked all of our meals and fed the chillins.

Zanna loving the dirt and her bottle.

Andelyn loving the dirt even more!! She is the funniest little girl! I am pretty sure she went through half of her clothing the very first day we were there. I love how it looks like she is wearing lipstick. SO funny!!

Riding the fourwheelers to the caves. My legs are whitesome and delightsome! Can't wait for the sun to come out again and sun bathe my body!

These two little girls were so funny together. They were constantly playing and roaming around together. They are the best of friends. Poor little Ella needed a playmate. Jathan and I are thinking of adopting a four year old so Ella will have someone to play with on future outings ;)

The Roberts.

Dirty little honey! And the poor thing fell off of a four foot ledge and scratched her face all up :(

Chilling with daddy.

Cute little Ella.

Jathan's dads horse trailor has a little live in quarters. This is where we slept everynight. It was surprisingly very comfy! Except for Zanna squirming all over the place.

The little ones loved crawling all over the four wheelers.
