My nephew Sai was adorable and decided to drink out of the slide!!
While in Utah we celebrated Donnie's 3rd birthday!! It started out with a long water slide...all the kids enjoyed it, but it died out alot faster than I had originally planned. It was fun to watch the kids run down the slope and crash into the water at the end.

We also had some awesome friends at the party!! If Melissa wants a copy of this photo, she's going to have to send me here e-mail...thanks for coming!!
The girls: Lela, Shana, Cassie & Anna Capri had ton so fun chatting & eating birthday cake!!

The "Birthday Cake" this year was a train, since Donnie loves trains & especially "Thomas the Engine". Taking a huge bite of the cake was the highlight for him!!

A close up of the cake!!

Gabe & Donnie had so much playing together!! It was obvious that they had missed playing with each other this summer!!

I love this photo!! Gavin (brother) looks like a Rockstar!

While in Cedar City, We all secretly planned a 50th birthday party for my Dad!! We got him out of the house by having Aunt Darla pretend that she hit her tractor with her car....it was awesome!! He appraoched the house with tombstones & red flowers up the walk way. Then we did tonz of streamers & balloons inside the house! Jamie & I created this huge massive cake that hopefully resemebles a hill. It was quite the process!! Jamies cooked all the cakes...thanks to her the project had enough time. Then it was a combined effort in decorating and creating the tombstone at the top!!

We dressed my father for the part and performed his funeral for him!! I'll try to post the movie of it!!

Bevan (brother) looking cute as ever!!
Little Emree (Bevan's daughter) eating mini popsicles in the park with all the other cousins!! I think each of the grandkids ate 10 popsicles a piece!!

Aunt Cassie(sister) & baby Kaleah bonding!! Lela bonded with Cassie instantly!!

Papa & Lela

Some of my beautiful sisters (L to R) Cassie, Lela, Charla (My sweet awesome new sister-in-law) & my older Sister Jamie Dee...

One huge highlight of the trip was the Choo Choo train that Papa Cox drove around endlessly for all the grandkids!! Thy smiled with glee the whole time!!

Donnie got to drive with Papa. I love this photo because Donnie looks so much like my dad. My Dad's baby photos are almost identical to Donnie's. Their personalities are matched to a "T" as well. My Dad was known as "Dennis the Menace" growing up and Donnies is practically his shadow... Our cute little Tornado!! Well that about sums it up!! It was so fun & I miss everyone already!!
We had so much fun!!!
