ISLAND PARK

We went to island park with the Poulsen clan earlier this month...it was a BLAST!

Nyah loved riding four-wheelers with her cousins and grandparents.

We checked out an incredible waterfall nearby.

The house was super kid friendly (aka: NO knick knacks) so Nyah ran freely with the pack while Derek and I got a little R & R! :)

We had an honorary birthday party for Addie, Carson, and Zander. Here is Nyah trying to knock the pinata out of the ball park...I didn't edit her red eyes because I felt like they really captured the mood :) Nyah was going for blood on that thing! Now if she would have known there was candy inside she would have dropped the bat and the claws would have come out... :) HA!

I LOVE CAKE!

Nyah is really lucky to have such GREAT cousins!
We spent the rest of our time in Yellowstone where we were promised to see bears along with a lot of other animals that were obviously hiding. However what beats a homemade see-saw made out of logs with Addie?
Old Faithful.

We finished up our trip in Jackson hole...(to be pictured later when I get my pics from Callie) Over-all a wonderful trip! Thank you Mont and Connie.

Demolition Derby

Here we are at the demolition derby... basically bumper cars with real cars and the last one standing wins. Slightly WT but highly entertaining :) Yes that is a car that has burst into flames in the background :)

Grandpa's Rodeo

At Grandpa's rodeo...Nyah loved the all the animals...Derek and I like the bull fight. Thats our friend Sheek in the back who's eating what looks like an orange? We had a great time! :)
Nyah with Grandpa :)

Cousins Galour

When everyone was in town this summer we took a picture of all the grandkids together. Nyah loves running with this pack!
I grabbed a few of Nyah...

Logan Pool

We went to the Logan Pool a lot this summer...I made the mistake of getting Nyah a shave ice the first time...now EVERY TIME it's "I want ice!" She'll go stand in line at the shack herself to get one :)

Maybe it's Maybelline

Nyah loves to play in my makeup...so when things get a little quiet in the house...a little too quiet I check the bathroom first! Uh-can we say Batman's joker by chance? Ha! What a sweetie!

Girls Camp

I'm in Young Women's so I was lucky enough to go to girls camp this summer...Here I am with the other leaders. It was just a week after getting back from Hawaii so Derek had to pretty much hold the fort down by himself for the month of July! He is such a great Husband and Dad!! :)

Artist in Training

Nyah loves to paint! She asks to almost everyday...I turn on classical music to really get your right brain movin and shakin! I have been really impressed with her painting!! I want to get her a canvas to paint something for the house. Really. :)

This is her first painting...AMAZING I know...but not really sure why it's so small on here? :)

At The Fair

We took Nyah to the fair...she loved riding the carousel with Dad and her cousin Carson!

But most of all she liked the car ride with her cousins Kinley and Carson! :)

Bear Lake

We have spent some weekends at Bear Lake this summer Nyah loves the water...
Even though it is REALLY cold :)

Lunch Dates

Every week we do lunch with our friends Sarah and Jayci...Nyah and Jayci get VERY excited to see each other.

Such cute little ladies! :)

Cherry Hills

We went to Cherry hills a couple of times this summer...Really fun but it traumatized Nyah's love for slides...now she refuses to go down even little baby slides :) She did love the lazy river and spending time with her cousins!

And there was juice on the menu so everything was right in her world!! :)

Her and Her cousin Raegan had a great time getting into trouble together!

4th of July

Please don't judge me that it is the end of September and I'm now just blogging about the fourth of July :). We watched the fireworks with my in-laws from the front lawn...Nyah loved them!
