Michler's Cabin

We had such a fun weekend! The Michler's invited us up to their cabin in Kolob with a few other families. We played games, ate some good food, chilled by the fire and didn't get a whole lot of sleep, but it was worth it!Brooke, Me, and Brittany. We are sitting on the fence that runs behind the cabin and below it is a huge cliff! It had an incredible view and when we opened the drapes in the morning and looked outside, Tag yelled, "That's amazing!!!" It was so funny, but it was truley an amazing view.
Here is Cam teaching Tag to shoot. Don't worry.. it is only a pellet gun!!
Here are a few of the kids sitting on a bench outside. We had a fire going the entire time we where there and we all enjoyed watching it, plus it smelled so good too. Then when we got home of course everything smelled like the fire and it doesn't smell too good when you are not in the mountains for some reason! Needless to say, I have been doing laundry all day!
The kids could not get enough of playing on these stairs!!
We brought up a couple of Rhinos and did some cruising around (Thanks Palmers!!) My kids could have driven around all day long in that thing! We drove it down by the lake and spent a lot of time throwing rocks and just hanging out.
Me, Tawni, and Tricia. Thanks again to Ryan and Tricia for the great time!!! It was so fun to get away from cell phones and the television; the cabin didn't have heat or electricity, but we stayed warm by the fire. We had a great time and hope to do it again, maybe next time without Maddie who decided that she didn't want to sleep very well!! Thanks to everyone who came!

Ayotte Family Weekend

Well,as you can see, I finally did it! Cam has been begging me forever to dye my hair dark and I finally got the guts to do it. It is darker than my natural color, but I would never have my natural color since it is ugly, mousy brown! I like it, but I am not sure I am convinced to stay this way forever and never go blond again.. we will just have to see, but it is a fun change!
Me and my sister, Kim. People thought we looked alike before, what do you think now?? This weekend when my family was here, they kept getting me and my sisters mixed up.
While my whole family was here we decided to get a family picture since we all weren't going to be together for awhile. My kids were horrible! Tag didn't want to wear the shirt he was supposed to and had a major meltdown, and Maddie just wouldn't sit still. This is probably the best shot, but at least we have a current picture of all of us.
Here I am with my sisters, mom, and sister in laws. It is so nice taking a picture without children and we are all pretty good at posing.. LOL!!
We had a great time with the whole family here. Jason and Claudia drove from California and the rest came down from up North. Tag had so much fun playing with Ada; he would wake up every morning and say, "I want to see Ada." We had a great time just hanging out and enjoying the beautiful weekend here in St. George. Thanks everyone for coming down. It is always so great to get everyone together!!
