Denny Family Campout

This past weekend was the Denny Family Campout. It is a family reunion with my mom's side of the family. We have been doing this since I was a little girl. I have many good memories of the Denny Family Campouts. There are well over 100 of us on my mom's side so it is always fun to be able to get together with everyone. This year there weren't too many of us that were able to make it, but it was fun seeing and hanging out with those that could.

Road trip pictures....I took Sophie's and she took mine....she is going to be a great photographer!

Here is Kara and Cooper showing their angry faces....we were getting pretty frustrated trying to find where to turn to go to the campground. We had to turn around probably 5 times before we got it right. Do they look mad?

Uncle Mark displaying his fishing outfit!

Kristen, Shane, and Rachel drove up on Friday morning.

Me, Sophie, and Rachel out on New Fork Lake. Sophie loved riding in the boat.

We went to fireworks in Pinedale, WY. It was by far the best firework show I have ever been to in my entire life. Here is a picture of the young ones.

Here are the young ones (at heart) waiting for the fireworks to start.

A moose was hanging around in our camping area. He was first just laying in the bushes by Kristen and Shane's camper and then decided to get up and walk around. We decided he was still just a baby...maybe two years old.

Hanging out by the fire....Rand, Bradley, Hannah, and Gunther

Roasting marshmallows on the bonfire.

Aly and Sophie roasting mallows.

Coop and Soph with Aunt Lisa roasting more mallows....I think they each ate 10 s'mores. After eating them they just ran back and forth for about 30 minutes. They didn't have hardly any sugar!!!

Not only did we have s'mores, but we also had "adult s'mores" (mushroom wrapped in bacon...cooked and then wrapped in provolone cheese), and doughies. I think I ate about 30 doughies myself. How can you go wrong with a cooked ball of dough rolled in butter and cinnamon and sugar? They were delicious!

My New Camera

When I was in Denver a few weeks ago I had an incident with my camera and cough syrup. I had put my camera in Rachel's bag along with my cough syrup and the lid came off the bottle. Cough syrup spilled all over my camera obviously ruining it. I was devistated because I use my camera on a daily basis. It has now been about 3 weeks without a camera and I am going crazy. I finally decided to go out and buy one. This is the camera I have purchased. Kara looked up some reviews while I was sitting at the store ready to buy. Most of the reviews were good and it was rated well. I decided to go with it. Hopefully it will be a good one.

Thank You

I just wanted to tell all my friends and my family thanks for giving me such a great birthday. I had a wonderful birthday and did a lot of fun things. Thank you for all the birthday wishes and everyone that came and celebrated with me. You guys are all fabulous! Love you all!

Dancing at the Westerner!

Saturday night I went with some friends to go dancing at the Westerner. It was a great time and it was fantastic people watching!

Bobbie, Andrea, Me, Lisa, Rachel

I don't know what they are doing, but it is a really pretty picture!

This picture is really ugly and I was feeling a little claustrophobic from the camera.

Rachel and I found a boyfriend! He was the lead singer of the band and I totally called dibs!! :) Isn't he sexy?? Especially his long hair!

Tim McGraw

Friday I went with Rachel, Bobbie, Miriam, and Merideth to the Tim McGraw Concert. I absolutely love Tim McGraw and he put on an amazing show.

Here's the 5 of us chillin' during Jason Aldean.

Alyson, Bobbie, and Rachel

This is the cute boy we found in line...Bobbie asked if he wanted to be in our picture....he said "sure", but I don't think he was so sure about it!

This is us with Tim McGraw in the background....I know you can't see him, butI promise he is really there.

A Day At The Park

Today I went with my mom, Cooper, and Sophie to Liberty Park. The kids played in the sprinkler things and on the toys. They sure did wear me out though....especially Sophie....she was running all over the place and it is a pretty big park. The kids had fun though and we even went to see the geese! I think that was the best part for them.

Sophie was "itchy" on the bridge


Laying out on the towels after a bit of fun in the sprinklers.

This was a house that the kids found near the end of the adventure.

Sophie loved swinging the most!

Pool Time

All of you that know me know that I love the pool. On Sunday I had asked my nephew Cooper when we were going swimming. He turned to me and said, " Ummm, Wednesday!" Well, today was Wednesday so we went swimming. We went to the Bountiful Rec Center. This was a first for all of us and it was fabulous. The pool was amazing. Here are a few pictures....
