Stewart Falls

We had a blast at Stewart Falls w/
Kate, Jonny, & Ellie.

Vernal Ventures

Just eatin' grass w/ Mom

We played water balloon volleyball for FHE
at the Monfredi's!

Ella played with all her cousins, especially Eliza,
who she just adores.

We went on a drive through Dinosaur Nat'l Mon.
in Colorado w/ Jay & Cheryl and saw tons of
elk, deer, and antelope.

We all watched the Monfredi's ride on a float
in the town parade, and then had a party at IFA

Jay & Cheryl's House in Vernal, UT

10 seconds; a new record!!!

Sittin' on the porch w/ Grandma Stocks
and Chewy!

I don't know which she liked better; being
held by grandma and grandpa, or chasing
Chewy & Daisy around. Meanwhile, Jay
and I chased the prairie dogs around w/
pellet guns and 22's.

This was hilarious; she didn't like the feel of
the grass on her feet at first, so she just sat
there with her legs lifted up forever.

UT trip

What's in Vernal? The Dinosaur Museum

This one's for Jonny & Chris-Chris
and the other Fighting Otters.
This treasure was found in the back corner
of an old museum in Vernal.

Here's a good pre-teeth smile. Today she
tried to bite a chunk out of Jill's arm and left
some nice teeth marks to prove it.

Oquirrh Mtn Temple open house

We had a blast staying with Jon & Lindsay;
Ella loved playing with Sam & Belle

Discovery Park in Cedar

What Arrrrrrrr ya doin?

What are you doing?

No, what Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ya doin?

Tubular?

The Cousins; I love how Brynley is holding
Ella's hand. They're adorable.

Jill & Ella swinging away!

She's a fan of the swings.

Cousin Brynley was looking extra cute on the slide!

What can we say.......She loves adventures!

Cedar City, UT

We went to a Green Show at the Shakespearean
Festival and Ella was really entertained. She
sat still for 45 min

This is what she was so wrapped up in.

We had fun visiting Great Grandma &
Grandpa Stocks. Her smiles say it all!

Vacaciones

24th of July Parade in Vernal, UT

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw!!!!!!!
Ride 'em Cowgirl!

Bryce Canyon, UT, a beautiful hike.

We enjoyed a nice D-Backs game,
thanks to Brady's hookups.

Rob's Homecoming

Ella loved playing with Musab, especially with his beard.

The Macleans

Grandma Ryan w/ the Girls

I've never seen a kid more excited to
go down a slide. She screamed w/ joy.

You don't mess w/ peeps from Boston!

Lake Trip

Alvin had to work, but atleast he's a Shoe-in!

Props to Rob for capturing this ollie.
It was perfect timing, unlike the pic I
tried to snap of him.

All I know is that it didn't used to hurt for a week
after wakeboarding. We're getting too old for this.

Yeah, that's Rob bustin' a 180 over the whole wake after
2 years of silence. The landing was "so smooth like the
butter on a muffin."

I think Handsome Rob was checking himself out on
that mirror beneath him. Thanks again to
Brian Smith for taking us out to Saguaro at 5am.

4th of July in Santa Monica, CA

Telling Brynley a story!

Best Buds

We definitely loved eating the banana.
Finally some food not blended up into puree.

Ella LOVED playing w/ Tio Rob.
The monkeys were always her favorite at the zoo too!

More Summer Adventures

We took Ella boogey boarding in Santa Monica.
We had a fun trip w/Grandma & Grandpa Ryan & Rob

Helped some Amigos put up a tent, for which
this "King of the Mustache" gave us coins from
"Old Mexico". I liked his style.

By far, Ella's favorite place so far has been the beach.
She loves the sand, and loves the ocean water even
more than her bath or the pool water.

We went to the Zoo. "You ought to have seen the monk,
he sat on the elephant's trunk. The big baboon, by the light
of the moon, was tanning his rainbow rear."

And of course, smiled while Landon put the

moves on Ella!
