Grandma Rumsey

On Friday, September 10, 2009 my Grandma Rumsey passed away. She had just turned 81 a few weeks prior on August 28th. My aunts threw a great big surprise birthday party for her and regrettably we were not able to go, but here are some of pictures from her birthday party last year. Every year grandma gets a picture taken with her daughters. It has been such an awesome tradition and I love looking back at the pictures through the years!

Isn't she so cute! I love Grandma and I will miss her so much. I am grateful for the knowledge that I will get to see her again some day and that she is up in Heaven with my sweet Mayson taking care of him for me.

Shoshone Falls

In May of this year we went with my parents and my sister's family to Shoshone Falls. The water level was high and it made it even more amazing. The kids had a blast. We looked at the falls, walked the trails, and had a picnic.

I loved this sign coming into the park. Apparently, they need to let us know not only when they are opened, but what time they are closed.








These cousins just love each other so much.


Here's Rachael giving herself bunny ears. She cracks me up!



We told them they had to hold hands and so this is how they walked around.







Here is a picture of our group.










Andrew, Cayden, and Cameron climbed up this steep hill to get a picture in the cave.

Then, Cayden begged me to climb up with him.


Here is our view point from the cave looking down. It was really steep!

Overall, the falls were beautiful, the company was awesome, and we all had a great time. We can't wait to go back again next year.
