Congrats Christy!!!

Last night we threw my cousin Christy a wedding shower at my mom's. Christy is the same age as my brother and her older sister, Jolie, and I are the same age. Funny thing is Christy and I have always done stuff together and Jolie and Shaun always did things together. Not sure what made that happen, I guess we just had more of the same interests. We weren't in to playing dinosaurs or Ninja Turtles like Jolie and Shaun did. Chris and I were also able to work for my Grandparents in their real estate business for about 5 years. We had a great time together and it bonded our relationship even more. Love ya Chris! :)

It was fun getting together with all our cousins, laughing, eating yummy food (love the chocolate fountain), and just having a good time. My Grandma has done a great job trying to keep everyone close, even though it is a tough job. They are a large family of 13 kids, so it isn't easy, but when we all get together, we have a great time.

Christy's face is a classic, I love it! Mind you this was a book she just opened. :)




















This picture is posted for my sisters since I get a lot of "crap/teasing/harassment/etc" of my picture taking skills and that I don't pull funny faces or do poses. To be honest...I don't know how, so it would make me appear as an even bigger freak if I did do them. :) So here's the best you'll EVER get. haha
Thanks so much to everyone for coming and we missed those who couldn't make it. Congrats Chris...we can't wait for the big day!

Wayne County Ranch

My Grandpa Maxfield has a family ranch down in Wayne County about 1 minute west of Torrey, UT. We all went down for some family camping and had a great time, until I accidentally left the gate open and all 7 of the horses meandered out and they crossed the highway...it's only a two lane highway, but people sure do go fast since we are in the middle of nowhere. We basically looked like a freak show trying to round up all the horses on four wheelers. Finally, a diesel stopped and helped block the road so the horses couldn't continue going and also so traffic couldn't get through. It was a huge relief once we got them back in.








































On my Grandpa's property there is a river that Fishing Guide's pay to take clients on. Ryah thought it was pretty neat.

































































































Thanks everyone for a great time...sorry, the post is a little belated!
