Family Photo Shoot

My sister set up to have some family pictures taken, and we jumped on and decided to have some family pics taken.  I think they turned out fabulous!  Our kids are so CUTE sometimes I can barely stand it! :)

This is most of us Arizonan Larsen folk...Heather and Bobby (boyfriend at the time), Jen & her little Des, Dad and Grandma Larsen, Dave, me, Ellie, Joey & Abby and then Sade was in town too! Yay!

More of our little Joey. 

Oh my cuteness in a basket!

Sisters (minus Pheob). 

Cutest kiddos in the world!  I love them so much!

On the Road Again

After we got back to SLC from our nights at the cabin, we spent some time at Mom's house. Hanging out with all the babies. It was fun to just be together.  And the babie cousins are hilarious and adorable!

Mmmmm, eating Sam's arm like a corn on the cob!

Check out those Ellie cheeks!  Chuba-luba-love!

Our 2012 cousins together for the first time: Ellie (born in March), Kingston (born in April) and Des (born in February).

Smack!

"Eat this!"

Sometimes Ellie thinks she can fly!

Holding hands? 

Watch the progression of Des and Ellie next to each other...climbing on Ellie....

A good cheese grin!

Awww, looking at each other as bestie friends would.  :0)

Then...attack!

The cutest little Kingston!

Goin home!

Ellie is stylin' with her shades! The drive home was much better than the way up.  I guess she got used to the drive.  We did made up mad libs and listened to good music and talked up a storm.  Sam and Sadie both drove home with us which was super fun!

The Super Cool Cabin

Here she is!  We arrived!  It was so beautiful there!  

Nice patio above the garage.

Me, Jenny & Sadie (2 of my sisters).

So this is the hill we had to try and drive up to get the cabin (that you can see below). It had rained a ton, and it was really hard to get up.  It took us 3 or 4 tries and was kinda scary!

 Here it is from a couple different perspectives.  We loved it up there!  So green and beautiful!

On a little walk.

 Jen, Sade with Desmond.

 Here's part of the wrap around amazing porch!  So fun!

 A couple of the bedroom beds.  

 Here's Jen & Grams in the dining area of the main room.  Cool chandelier huh?

Sadie in the main living area...you can see the stairs that lead up and down.  There was a hot tub and pool table downstairs and a bunch of rooms upstairs.

 The main room where we all hung out...looking out on our patio.  So awesome!  

The kitchen.  This place really was super cute mountainy and totally awesome!  We all had so much fun!

Fireworks for the Fourth

I think that's Abbies drawing of fireworks.  :)

Waiting....and waiting for them to start. 

Jen, Des and Sadie joined us for the fun!  

More waiting....

Ellie's first Fireworks!  Would she enjoy them?  Or cry like Abby and Joey did?  I think we were far enough away that they weren't too loud. 

Waiting over!

The 4th of July Fireworks... Oooooo, Awwwwwww!
