Wyoming Weekend

Me, Ryan, Raiyah, Jack, Luci, and Paul Hollingshead, Brian and Tamara Hills (Todd and Natalie left before we took this picture).

We went to the Webb's Cabin in Wyoming a couple of weeks ago. It was so much fun. I always say how strange it is that we've made such strong bonds with our friends we made in the Canyon Ward from Centerville. I could call any of them for anything and they would be there. It was so nice to just relax and have no agenda. We loved playing two on two soccer, I believe Todd and I dominated :), swimming in the river, shooting, hanging out around the fire, and just being with good friends. Brian and his cute wife Tamara are heading to California for law school next week so it was great to see them before they left. It was also nice having two little friends for Raiyah to play with Luke, and Jack. Thanks for having us up it was alot of fun!

S&S Railroad Choo Choo!!!!

We had so much fun at the S&S Railroad! My Uncle Gordon invited us to join his family. We loved it. Every day Raiyah goes around saying , "Choo choo" and informs me she wants to ride the train again.
For those of you who don't know about this place you need to go. My Dad's cousin Steve Flanders has put together the most incredible place for kids to get a chance to ride a real train, hand crank trains, and a tiny train. They love it. It's in West Farmington but is only open the first Saturday of each month. I recommend it for a fun day with the family.

Raiyah's second cousins Mara Michelson, and Mykell Flanders.

Dress Ups

Raiyah loves playing dress ups at Grandma and Grandpa Flanders with Abby. They always get very excited when the princess outfits, and the animals are pulled out for them to play in. Her favorite is the Ariel neclace. When you touch it the song Ariel sings to give her voice away plays. Raiyah loves to sing it with her. We love having Abby around for another girl for Raiyah to pretend and play with.


The toy Raiyah has in her hands is pretty funny. Since I was ridiculed growing up about being the "Mormon Flanders" from the Simpsons we all thought the toy was fitting. It's Ned Flanders, when you pull his hand he says, "There's always room for one more Flanders." Okay maybe you have to be a Flanders to appreciate it but it's funny.
