Raegans Birthday Party

Raegan had her 5th birthday this week and the girls loved getting to spend it at the gymnastics center.

That's a lot of little legs!

Library and Swimming Lessons

We are back home now and have started into all our fun summer activities.  The girls have started the Library reading program that we go to ever year.  This week they learned about space and rockets.

We have also started into swimming lessons.  The girls love the pool, now we just have to work on Miss Hailey putting her face under the water.

Yellowstone, Jackson Hole and Star Valley

At the end of our trip to Wyoming, my sister and I headed through Yellowstone and towards Jackson Hole, where we picked Brad up at the airport.  Then we all headed towards Star Valley Wyoming for a family reunion on my moms side (My Grandpa and Grandma Partridge). We had SO much fun, it was beautiful and we created so many wonderful memories that our family will treasure forever.
This was a waterfall in Yellowstone.

Can you believe it started to snow as we were driving through Yellowstone?  That's Wyoming for you!

Lake in Yellowstone:

We saw a ton of Buffalo right next to our car on both sides.  So cool!  I saw a wolf later too.

Girls and I in Yellowstone:

I think these are the Tetons?  Absolutely gorgeous.

Before we picked Brad up, we had a little bit to tour Jackson Hole and we found a yummy Pizzeria.  Callie and Brynlee also picked out some special rocks to buy.

They have these antler archways all over Jackson Hole.

After we picked Brad up we headed to our families farmhouse in Star Valley, Wyoming.  It was gorgeous!  I hadn't been since they constructed it.  The kids were in heaven with all of the things to do and all of the cousins to play with.

All of these building are part of the farm.  The white buildings are the originals and the new farmhouse was  constructed next to them.

Before my Great Grandma Call died (My Grandma's mom), they put all of her living descendants on bricks and made this flag monument.  We even found our family names (minus Brynlee who wasn't born at the time.)

This was our playground at the farmhouse.

This is the multipurpose/Garage space in the farmhouse where we set up tables for crafts and eating.

This was a cool antler arch they had on their main street:

Family reunion hayride:

The kids had basketball, tetherball, volleyball, trampoline, playground and so many fun things to do.

We had a lot of yummy dinners and had a family cook out one of the nights.

One of the afternoons Brad took us fishing up by a beautiful place called Intermittent Falls. The water was such a pretty color and so clear.

We found a good little fishing whole at the bottom of the dam.

Everything was so pretty, I even thought the moss was pretty, ha ha...

Callie caught four fish, but was so mad because they kept getting away.

The girls and their Nanna on the playground, they sure are going to miss her!

One afternoon we went fourwheeling up on the mountainside, it was a lot of fun and muddy too.

This was the original house that my Grandma grew up in on the farm with 14 children!  The family has made it into a museum now and my grandma gave me a tour, it was awesome.

Pictures of all the babies my Great Grandma had including pictures of her and her husband when they were babies.

The living room, on the left there are pictures of all the girls in their wedding dresses.

My Great Grandma hand made the rugs and there is a player piano on the right.

This is the kitchen and they have done their best to keep everything as original as possible.  They had an old malt machine, butter churner, and table that my Great Grandpa made.  Also an old cowbell that they used to ring when it was time for dinner.

Beautiful dresses that my Great Grandma wore and made. You can see her wearing one of them in the bottom right picture.

This was a wall of all the missionaries that have served in our family on this side.  Brad is even on there.  Below this picture was a case that contained my Great Grandpas suit and original bag and documents that he carried on his mission for our church.

We had such a wonderful time and I will never forget all the great memories we made as a family.
