Sundance Lift Family Ride

We drove up to Sundance with the boys to ride the lift up to Bear Claw Cabin Restaurant at the very top of the mountains. You have to change several ski lifts to get all the way to the top and it took at least 30 minutes to get up to the peak. The 360 degree view made it all worth it. It felt like you were going to walk off the edge or get blown off the edge! It was an exciting adventure with our little boys. Alyssa kept Rae for us. I didn't trust her on the lifts. I ate everything and discovered I cannot do that anymore. I became so nauseous the entire ride down I had to lay my head down on the bar and just keep my eyes closed. Crohns is an adjustment and I'm trying to figure out my new normal. No more hot chocolate for me.  :(

On the drive up we took a picture of Bridal Veil Fall running slim as we enter enter into Fall. 

Yosemite June 2018

This Yosemite trip made my heart so full. I can't imagine anything much happier than my family all together and the cousins giggling and playing together. The memories were made!

Uncle Aaron gave all of the kids headlamps and Aunt Michelle made of the kids their own monogrammed reuse-able water bottle.  

The kids loved swinging on the hammock

 It made me so happy to have Grandma Bev there with us. Her and Papa Clyde started the Family tradition of going to Yosemite annually. She hasn't come as often the past few years. It was such a treat to have her along this year. Mr. Perry is always so happy to help and was a great cook. Our family knows how to make camping food GOOOOODDDD!!! Heck, we know how to make all food GOOOOOODDDDD!!! Truman made us all laugh because the next thing we knew he was covered head to toe in dirt!

 

 

 
 

 

 We had talks around the campfire and went on short hikes. We played jumprope and played with a stomp rocket in the woods. The ladies all went to brunch at the Awhawnee Hotel. The food was wonderful and the company was even better. Such great memories. This is my idea of heaven.

Everyday March Days

In March I always feel like I should be having a baby. The breeze starts to get warmer. I start to freshen up the house and for the past 6 years I've either been pregnant or taking care of a sweet little baby. I love the start of Spring!

 Our black kitty Pete the cat has been acclimating to us and cuddling with the boys and Sheehan and I more and more. Especially during the night. Rae is into everything and as you can see in the pictured I made her help me clean up the marker she had drawn on the wall. She has done this all over the house on different occasions. Some of them are more permanent than others. It's a good thing she is so cute because she can be so curious and naughty sometimes. We love her binky smile but the time is coming to get rid of the binky due to it ruining her bite. She cries for the binky though, "BEEEEEE!!!" she calls it. 

Some days I'm feeling nice and brave and I let Jacqueline or Ezra come along with us to run some errands or go to the park. These little cousins are so close. As they get older though Lincoln wants to play video games or run around and Jacqueline wants to play pretend and with dolls. Every once in a while they give in to each other ideas and Lincoln will pretend or Jacqueline will watch him play games. 

 Rae plays hard and sleeps hard. She has always been a pretty good sleeper. I love this picture of her in her crib with her little belly popping out. One of her favorite past times entails throwing all of the laundry out of the basket and then sitting inside the basket. Sometimes she watches tv in it and sometime she just plays with her doll while laying inside. Sometime Pete joins her in there.

 Sheehan had to travel for work and took his best friend Aaron with him. It is so much better for me when Aaron goes along with him for these conferences. Sheehan comes home so much happier.
My Mom took Vance and Jacqueline to the Aquarium and they both felt so special.

Grandma Patty Wonser (meehan) celebrated her 90th Birthday!! Amazing. This is a picture of her and her black pug dog, Mini Tippy. 

 

 I took some pictures of outifts I liked. I have to keep up with Rae's adorable wardrobe. Having a girl is so much fun. She has the cutest clothes ever!

 Sheehan and I went out to eat at a fancy italian restaurant. It was one of my last gluten full meals and was it soooooo gooood! Yes it was!!!!

 

Rae takes up a lot of our attention these days but can you blame us? Look at that cute girl!
