"The" Ranch

This is a special place that holds a lot of really great memories!  It doesn't look like much or smell like much for that matter, but one step in the door and you'll fall in love with it!  It's had a lot of improvements over the years (ones that I'm thankful for---bathroom), yet the memories of tromping out to the outhouse at night and scaring yourself to death was kinda fun :)  These pictures were taken by my cute cousin Becky's brother.  He has an amazing talent!  Thanks for sharing Becky!

"The" Parents

Here's some photos of 2 of my FAVORITE people.  My Mom and Dad.  They are an amazing couple and such great examples to me!

Parker

I did a practice photo shoot with my new little nephew Parker last week.  I have a lot to learn about photography, but he's the cutest little guy so it's not to hard to take a good pic.  He was wide eyed the entire time.  Cameron and Jessica are loving parenthood and they are naturals at it.  I could probably learn a thing or two from them :)  It's hard to believe that my baby brother has a BABY!

The "Backyard"

 When we visit Panguitch my kids are in PURE heaven! Just outside the backyard there are so many things to discover and lots for Mom to take pictures of as well :)  

The perfect lighting for those baby blues!



Trees to climb



Cute Cousins to play with





Barns to explore



Fun knobs to turn

Amazing Grandparents to play with

Apples to find (Yuck)



One Simple swing that is "the" place to be.  Notice Aunt Alice's white hair poking over the fence.  It's always nice to visit with family next door to :)



Fences to climb

Woodpiles

Don't forget the weeds to crunch (and grasshoppers to find).  I love watching them explore and discover new things.  I'm jealous we don't have more of a yard to do that here, but that's part of living in the city :)

Happy Halloween!!!

We just returned from a long weekend in Panguitch.  It was fun to spend Halloween up there playing with cousins, eating candy, and just playing constantly!  I will say it was a little colder than I like, but it was still fun and the kids didn't mind one bit!

Here's our crew of Trick or Treaters.  It was fun to have all the cousins together!
Harmon, Lincoln, Mallory, Tabby, DJ, Haley, and Hunter



We quickly posed for a family pic before the sugar high kicked in.



What does Captain America do in his downtime?  Kicks back with the remote just like everyone else :)




Isn't she the cutest witch you've ever seen!

Watch out for those webs.  They're on the prowl for candy!
