Southwick Reunion-Yellowstone

Nelli found the rocks when we were loading the car.  I think it's so funny that she pulled her arm out of her strap, which wasn't on tight, and tipped the carseat to reach them :)

We caravaned with Ty, Ali, and Thayne.  This is Devils Creek Reservior, in Idaho, where we stopped to have lunch and change the poopy babies.  Ty put Thayne's feet in the cold water at Ali's bidding and Thayne squeeled...Ali thought it was a good trick :)

Taylor was so excited to see a Bison.

We went to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat play at the local West Yellowstone Playhouse, which they made pretty funny.  There was a super chunky guy that play various parts throughout the performance.  The best was him playing Jacob's wife, Rachel.  It was great to be with family (Jason was checked out finishing his PhD dissertation, so we didn't interact much with him, understandably). We had fun sitting in the hot tub, driving through part of the park, checking out the gift shops, etc. I even ran into my Uncle Willy and Aunt Rita at church there and a friend from high school, Danele Neil.

SLC Trip

We loved going up to spend time with Miriam(Mimi), Jon, and Ruth in Salt Lake (wish Mackey was there when we went)!  Nelli had so much fun playing in Aunt Mimi's apartment and liked, ok loved, her first taste of Granny Smith Apple that she let her try.  It was fun to see Mimi pregnant, it brings out a softer side in us as women. We went for a walk in the park and talked for hours.  I'm so glad we got to spend some time with them before our big move to St Louis.

Tanner Reunion

All strawberry popsicle-not the best for a baby's intestines...poor thing had a burnt bum the next day.  Glad we had Desitin!

Cousin Rachel when she stayed at our house for the night.

Cousin Alex

Lisa's Dad took the Tanners on a water skiing trip a few days before our family reunion.  It was a blast!  This is me wake boarding!  Taylor, Nelli, Mom, Sam, Esther, James, Lisa, Rachel, and Alex all went.  Sam and James were tearing it up out there on the wake board and Nelli had fun eating the red sand and playing with her cousins in her floater.
