July 25, 2009 - Strawberry Cabin with the entire Collard family

July 25, 2009 - Although we didn't go up to the cabin on the 24th due to a bat infestation in one of the bedrooms in the cabin (they caught 30 bats in one day), we did come up the following day and had a great time! By the end, we were all tuckered out.

I know that Tylar's hair always looks crazy, but yours would too if you had a very strong cow-lick starting at the back of your head. I LOVE Tylars's crazy hair!




After all the craw-dad fishing and watching the other cousins jump in the water, Aniston wanted to join in too.



Aniston was so brave as she looked into the craw-dad bucket.....gross!

Grandpa Craig and Aniston are best buds!!!
Daddy was so proud of his little friend. Even though he teased me about being grossed out by these ugly things, he too was hesitant to touch them.
Aniston got so brave over the course of our craw-dad outing. Although she didn't touch one of the 40 or so that we caught and released, she and Grandpa had a great time watching them crawl/fall off the rock back into the water. Grandpa, of course, added explouding sound effects as they fell to make the experience that much more enjoyable.


Grandpa and Aniston looking at the 30 or so little monsters that had been caught up to that point.
Mommy and Aniston decided to be much braver this time around.....I look brave, right? Seriously, craw-dads are the ugliest things ever! Craw-dads are to animals as Carnations are to flowers...bleehhhh!

Our fearless hunters!
We went a little farther in to find a great fishing spot, but Aniston just couldn't hold on.
This picture makes me laugh every time I see it. Aniston is wearing Daddy's glasses, Grandpa's hat, and gets to ride in the back of the truck....heaven!
Aniston took this picture of Tylar by herself while we were on an adventure with Great Grandma and Grandpa Collard in their truck.
We love going on adventure hunts with Grandpa Craig!

Aniston is growing up....sniff.
Grandpa Craig will do anything for his granddaughters.

July 23, 2009 - Bear Lake Ranch

July 23, 2009 - We were able to go up with Grandma and Grandpa and "help" at the ranch. Actually, I'm sure we made more work for them, but we had a great time. Aniston got to ride the four-wheeler with Grandpa Craig up through the fields to see the cows. When we asked her what the cows were doing she said, "They were looking at me." Hmmm, that sounds about right.

Great Grandma Lois and Tylar


We ventured over to the neighbors to put our feet in the water. Even though the water was pretty cold and mommy slipped in the mud to get a picture, we had a great time!

July 22, 2009 - A visit to Logan

July 22, 2009 - Spur of the moment we decided to go visit Great Grandma and Grandpa Sorensen up in Logan. Even though it was Logan, it was super hot! Fortunately we still had the slip n' slide in the trunk. Aniston had a great time playing in the cold, cold water!
Our super cute Tylar and her crazy hair

July 21, 2009 - Sometimes I wonder how my house can be dirty constantly when I am constantly cleaning. Well, I would dare say our little tornado has something to do with it. She loves to feed herself, but it is not always the cleanest thing. If the food is not all over her, then it indefinately will be thrown off her tray...Oh well. At least she's eating.
