Memorial Day

On Memorial Day, American Fork City holds a fireman's breakfast at the fire station. Jathan has gone ever since he was a little boy and it looks like it is now one of our family traditions as well. While waiting in line to get in they let all the little kids climb all over a fire truck. Here is Zanna sitting on the truck, and yes that is a death grip on her bottle :)

And in the truck.

Jathan's dad is the sexton for the American Fork cemetery and he does such a good job of keeping the grounds looking beautiful.

While at the cemetery we visited Jathan's dad (who oversees the cemetery) and saw Jathan's aunt Lisa's grave.

Zanna enjoyed riding all over on her daddy's shoulders.

Great Grandpa Garrett

How darling is this photo? Jathan's grandpa (who still gets around on his own two legs very well) is always giving the kids rides on grandma Alta's wheel chair. He just cruises up and down the lane with them and they love it. Sitting along side Zanna are Brinley and Shane, Chelsea's (Jathan's cousin) cute little kiddos.

A Day At The Barn

After church a few Sundays ago (June sometime :) we decided to go to Jathan's grandparents barn and enjoy the beautiful weather!

This cute little baby still doesn't have a name... we are the worst! Any suggestions??

Zanna couldn't get enough of these little dandy lion puffy things. Totally can't remember what they are called. Do they even have a name?? The fields were Chuck full of them!!

Hanging out with her daddy.

My ever growing belly!

Action shot! She even has her eyes closed. Just blowing with all her little lung power!!

Zanna had quite the time decorating mason in all of the dandy lion seeds. By the time she was through he was covered in them!

Baby Horse

Jathans horse Ice had her cute little baby on April 16th, the coldest day in all of April. There was a crazy huge snow storm the night she was born... These pictures are old but I just had to post pics of the cute little one! She is darling and it has been so fun to have a baby horse to play with~!

She is a Dunn so she has this awesome little dorsal stripe going down her back.

Zanna was loving this little baby! It kind of looks like the baby is going to try to jump over her... but don't worry she didn't. She was just on wobbly new legs!

Jathan... a very proud owner!

Just thought I would throw in this pregnant shadow profile pic!

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!
