Silver Lake

Sabrina got to spend the night with Cookie and Papa, just her and them. They spent a little over 24 hours together. The day she got there, they went to Silver Lake for a picnic dinner. I love the pictures my dad takes. They had a great time! I was jealous of all the fun things my mom took Sabrina to do. They went to the Tracy Aviary and to Silver Lake-two places I have never been.

Sabrina's 4th Birthday Party, July 2011

It was a Rapunzel Party. My friend Sunny Hintze made Sabrina's cake.

The cake tasted as good as it looked.

I won a Pot 'O Gold grand prize at a St. Patrick's Day party last March and one of the prizes was an hour of balloon twisting from Jeremy Telford, the balloon guy. He brought the above large Rapunzel balloon sculpture balloon to Sabrina at the party. He said it took him a couple hours to make while watching TV!

Happy 4th Birthday, Sabrina!

A dollhouse was at the top of Sabrina's birthday wish list.

I made Sabrina this cake for the day of her actual birthday.

Panguitch Lake, July 2011

Darren's parents generously took their kids and spouses and grandkids to Panguitch Lake for 3 days in July. I had never been there and I thought it was breathtakingly beautiful. We stayed in cabins.

John's first boat trip. He loved it! He got stuck with a Dora lifejacket, but hey, at least it's not a Disney Princess!

Our little family at the Cedar Breaks National Monument. We took the long, scenic route home and boy was it worth it!

I am grateful for this beautiful Utah scenery practically in my back yard!
