Lake Beauty. All 10 of us. Family LOVE

mace and carson. sunset.
deck of the cabin. view overlooking Bear Lake. So peaceful.
My sis-in-laws cabin. Held all 9 siblings, spouses, and kids. What a fabulous week all together.
cookouts. smores. we all ate together. shared meals. It was great.
The sunsets were the best. such bright colors. pinks, yellows, oranges, we tried not to miss one :)

Hanging out, chatting, catching up on all the details of life. It was strange to be able to just sit and not worry about schedules, sports, cleaning, running kids around..etc. It was perfect.
awww. 2 of my favorite people. Dad and Ashlyn. At nights, the boys would go fish. They caught over 3o. (and let them go.) Bear lake was super high and full of fish :)

kids games! we all took a day and organized games, dance offs, little talent performances. The kids loved it! We had a great time dancing around to all the tunes..etc.

oh I love this pic. my dad. or grandpa. Reading children stories off his ipad. He was so darling with all the grandkids. He played with them every day, read them stories, would help with all the kids. we just love Gpa Brown

cousin love cousin love cousin love cousin love cousin love
Mace and Carson just loved the water. they loved hanging out together. It was so great for my kids to bond with all their cousins again. I hope they keep that connection forever
I would wake up early and run every day. We would go on walks at night. TY, Amber and my mom the day we were leaving. It was a beautiful sight.
I really love this week we spend with my family. Obviously with our move to CO, this trip means so much to us. I had a fabulous week with them. So great to spending morning, noon and night. We fished, we waterskiied, we played at the lake, we went to the shake shack, we went on walks, we skipped rocks, roasted smores, played games and sat and watched the sunset. what a dreamy week. we ended the week with a ping pong tournament that lasted hours and went till almost midnight..the champion..BRETT! My Ry lost to Brett. wow what a fun night. thanks mom and dad!
It was hard to say goodbye to everyone all at once..a bit overwhelming. But I feel so lucky to have my family. and Ry's too. We have a fabulous network of support and love. thanks everybody. Now off to our little CO life! we love it, now come visit! any of u! :) (we will see mom and em tomorrow and amber next week!)

Dreamy Sunsets and Happy Birthdays...

Don't you love this sunset?! We were driving down "to the valley" last night for Ali and Jayden's birthday party at the Monsen's and the sunset was incredible.....! This pic was taken at the top of Creek Road looking down into Willowcreek. My favorite part of the pic are all the pine trees nestled in the valley and then how they meet the horizon up on 1300 East. And then of course the outline of the Oquirrh Mountains are always so beautiful!


My cute niece Ali turned 17 and her sweet missionary Jaden, turned 19. He leaves on his mission in one week! Good luck to both of you!
