We were fortunately enough to get work off and drive to California. Dan and Carly we're going so we decided to horn in on the fun. We stopped in St George on the way down then drove to Vegas for a night as well. It was great. Then off to John's place to play and visit. Thanks again to everyone for their hook-ups and hospitality:) We hit up the beach a few times which was much enjoyed and even made it to Disneyland for a day (Because for those of you who aren't aware Reece is a bit of a Mickey Mouse fanatic) Then we drove down to Nick's old mission grounds of San Diego and enjoyed a few nights there and then it was back home to reality.
Nick, John and Dan were able to body surf on some waves!!
Reece was a little timid of the ocean temperature at first but then quickly changed her mind. She liked how the waves sucked her back in:)
Reece enjoyed playing in the sand with her cousins!!
Sitting on the tram on our way to the gates of Disneyland. IF we go again it will definately be during a cooler time of year- Let's just say it got a little hot for the pregnancy ladies and the kiddies
Getting ready for a day of fun!!
Back: Danny, Carly, me, Reece, Nick, Kristen, WIlliam and John
Front: Nate and Tyler.
We were able to spot Donald Duck. We had to hurry and track him down for a photo op.
Reece wouldn't look at the camera, she was too excited to be so up close and personal
Taking a look in Minnie's Fridge to see what she had to offer
She loved Minnie the most I do believe! She kept talking to her
Then tried to go back and talk to her again (hence the pulling on her dress)
Enjoying the pool outside our room
This summer also entailed some very enjoyable boating/tubing trips to Bear Lake and near by areas. Lynn and Nana bought this amazing tube but that ALL the kids seemed to enjoy
Bear Lake was a little cool but we wouldn't let that stop us for some fun.
On a not so exciting note, Reece fell while running down the sidewalk at Nana's a broke her arm. Luckily she's a trooper and heals quickly and only had to have it splinted for a week. She was a little embarrassed of it at times so this was the only shot I was able to get

She's ready for the rodeo:) We went to the Cache County Fair! Sadly no the rodeo but she enjoyed the animals and the few rides we were able to get in
She enjoyed some fun times with 'Bryant" :)
She liked walking around listening to music:)
Making sure she had gas in her engine:)
This year was the "Year of the Mustaches". We borrowed Nick's parent's excursion and dressed it up-Good times For those of you who aren't aware of Ragnar I'll inform you a little. It consists of a team of 12 runners, 6 in each van. Ours was myself, Nick, Danny, Carly, James and Morgan (my two brother's and their wives) It starts at the USU track and ends in Park City. Each runner takes turns and runs a total of 3 different times.- Except in our van's case where certain members of our team had to pick up where other's were unable to. We won't mention any names ;)
This was ONE of Nick's night runs.-He may have took one of mine
Carly finishing up her first leg.
OUR TEAM!!
James getting ready for his first run
This was during James and Nick's exchange.
Morgan running her first and only :( But she was feeling great and did amazing
"Ya look good, ya feel good, Ya feel good, ya play good"
The Haynes also were able to come and visit this summer and Reece is still talking about it.
They enjoyed riding powerwheels at Nana's
This was the previous tube. The men may have popped it a few times but it sure was enjoyed while it lasted
