One of our favorite places to be is up at Scott's grandparent's little cabin up in the mountains of Southern Utah. We were lucky enough to make it up there twice this summer. The kids were so happy to spend time with Grammie and Poppa. Anna loved the fishing, Aimee the 4-wheeling, and Nathan got to be "all boy" playing with lizards and bugs, all kinds of sticks and rocks, and getting super dirty! What a life!

Riding in Grammie's truck...luckies!

The biggest dandelion we've ever seen!
A bath in the tin tub. (We had to at least try to keep this kid clean...)

Nathan was smitten..jpg)
Horned Toad #2...affectionately named "Chubby" (this thing was HUGE!)
We had a big thunderstorm one afternoon...it was the best! The kids decided to write stories to pass the time. There is nothing like a rainstorm at the cabin.

Grammie and Nathan (is that a sucker in his mouth???)

Nathan was more interested in playing in the water!

Fishing from the shore with Grammie.
Fishing takes lots of patience...Nathan is trying to decide whether or not all of this waiting is worth it!
Aimee had the first catch of the the summer...an 18-inch Rainbow Trout! Anna caught the second (and last) fish of the summer...a big 22-incher. Fishing was slow this year. We're just happy that each of the girls got one!

I LOVE your pictures from the cabin! Everyone looks like they are having so much fun. I think that getting out in the country is the best!
I'm sorry to hear you are still feeling so yucky...and then you get to add the Braxton's to it all. Hopefully this last month will fly by for you!
How fun! I miss the mountains and country of Utah more than anything else. Nothing is as much fun for kids than being out, exploring and getting dirty. I am so glad you were able to go and not have to sit in bed all of the time still. I hope this month flies by for you too so you can get back to feeling better.
Looks like paradise!!! Sorry that you are feeling terrible again. I don't know how you do it?! You are an inspiration!
I AM SO JEALOUS!!!
You are such a trooper to be roughing it when you're so pregnant. You look great, though! And that's so fun for your family. Hang in there. Not much longer at all. I say 3 weeks max.
I remember that!!! I love how well nathan and "chubby" got along!!
It looks like you guys had so much fun! We just got home from a similar vacation and hopefully I'll get around to posting about it sometime soon!
Thanks so much for the cookies tonight- they were delicious! I'd love the recipe.
That was fun on the four-wheelers!
