Yosemite

We stayed in the cutest little cabin in Wawona near Yosemite Valley. It had everything we needed and this will be a trip we will remember forever. Eli called the cabin our "shed". It was too funny.

Thadikins taking a hike in "Daddy's Backpack". Poor Ryan got a great workout carrying an extra 35 pounds on his back.

Mommy and Me.

This is the whole crew. From the left we have Kendra, Justin, me, Ryan, Eli, Derrick, Dawnna, Chase, Dr. Brie Sarvis, Cade, Hany, Thad and Papi. It was so much fun! Kudos to Mom and Brian for putting this amazing trip together :)
O.k., this bridge was SCARY! You can't see it, but there is a river below us with rapid currents. I'm thankful that Eli, Thad and Chase were in good hands. Dawnna and my mom just loved taking pictures of my massive pregnant belly.
Friday night we celebrated Brie graduating from Vet School and Brian turning 60 years young! We told funny jokes about becoming a Senior Citizen and gave him some HILARIOUS gifts. I think our gifts get the prize though.
Our first gift was the "Shaker Weight". If you haven't seen it or heard of it, please look it up. You will die laughing.

Next were the straw goggles that he used to drink his milk. What a fun night! I'll save us all the embarrassment of watching the video of my mom and Brian dancing to "I'm Too Sexy for my Shirt." Believe me, you will thank me.

More hiking, BIG trees, and family fun. I keep calling Eli "Derrick" for some reason these days. Hmmmmm....I just can't figure it out.

These two boys love each other so much :)

Does he have any idea how beautiful the mountains behind him are?

One day they will climb Half Dome together.

Daddy's Backpack :)

We saw a bear! It was so awesome.

Thank you so much Mom and Brian for such an amazing trip! We had so much fun!
