Can You BELIEVE it?

FIVE WHOLE YEARS! WOW!





It sure has been fun so far. We have had our fair share of good and bad days, but I have to say I would still never trade it for the world. Jon and I just got back from spending a few days in Logan. We stayed at Providence Inn. It was the coolest place ever. If you guys are ever looking for a good place to stay that place is it. It was hard to leave, especially because we got a wake up call every morning and they would ask us what we wanted for breakfast and when we wanted to eat it, then they brought it to us. It was pure heaven. I hope you all get a kick out of this next picture.



So what do you think? Who has changed the most. I think it is so crazy how much everyone can change in just five years. Time sure flies! I hope you all have a great day!

Kicking Off the Summer

We went to the cabin last week. Here are some pictures. We had more fun than you can imagine!

We made a monstrous bonfire....it was the hottest fire I've ever been next to, mainly because we used the Shop Vac as a bellows.



We went to Yellowstone. There were a bunch of bison calves....they're cute, and I bet they taste good too.



This is the closest we came to a group picture...Caroline and Jeff aren't in it...but the rest of us are. Mom, Dad, and Greg were at the Cabin, too, but they left before our trip to Old Faithful.



I was holding Marcella on my shoulders for the eruption. Kanien was gracious enough to assume the role of photographer, and quite insightfully refrained from snapping photos of the geyser. Instead, she took pictures of us observing the geyser in awe.



Marcella enjoyed herself immensely. She was able to run around outside with little to no supervision, and no one got on her case if she got dirty. She really had a blast.

This was our second bonfire...no Shop Vac, but it was plenty hot (especially for Marcella)!



Owie, Hannah, and Caroline -- Marcella loves her cousins!



Marcella likes to draw



Marcella got a lot of dirt-time in...she kept stumbling on the grate in the south staircase...it got to the point where she wouldn't cross any cracks...not even the perfectly safe ones! Here she's trying to get me to carry her off of the porch.




On the last day, we went to Moose Creek. We thought Marcella would have a fun time wading, but the water was a little cold. Instead of splashing, she'd throw sticks and flowers into the stream. Once, she leaned over too far and ended up face-first in it anyway. She wasn't too happy.

I'll post more pictures tonight or tomorrow.

Before our Chaos

So before our lives were turned upside down we had a fun day at the park and Jon Graduated!! Yea. I took a lot of pictures of his graduation, but they were mostly slides, but I have a couple from the party.






Here we all are. The park was soo busy. I think the ducks were about to explode with all the food they have been getting. We still had a fun time though.

Cute little Hannah

What a cute Couple!



The ducks were pretty cute though.

So for all of you who missed out on Jon's party, I am sorry. It was the best food ever! This dessert was amazing. man I wish I still had it.

This is Tony and Richmond. Richmond is two weeks younger than Marcella.

Here are Antonio and Maria. They are good friends of ours. They are from Italy. Antonio met Jon through work. They are such wonderful people.

Here is Jon doing the honors of cuting the dessert. YUMMMMMM!!!


Last of all here is Marcella playing the pool a few days before we left. She loves the pool. We have been having a blast letting Lily (the next door neighbor who is 2 weeks to the day younger than Marcella) come over and play with us. Marcella really enjoys living at grandmas! We have been having so much fun. Well, I hope you all have a great day. I will try to post some more pictures later. Love ya all!
