This last weekend all the girl cousins and our moms went up to Yellowstone to Wolf Creek Resort for a nice getaway-a tradition that started last year and hopefully continue throughout the years!
Wolf Creek Resort-(I think that's what the time-share was called) We had 3 rooms which all included a kitchen, tv room with a fold out bed, a bedroom with 2 twin beds, a bathroom, and a master bedroom/bathroom. They were so nice! Ashley and I shared the master bedroom with our babies....who, I thought, did very well this trip!
Mom, Ashley, and I (and babies) carpooled up together Friday afternoon. After unloading all of our gear, we all sat down and had a yummy dinner.....then the fun began!!
We played games, binged on goodies, swapped family/embarrasing moments and laughed...A LOT!! My cheeks still hurt from all the fun!
Aunt Janice, Darcie, Aunt Debbie, and Tasia
Like I said-we laughed a lot! And stayed up way too late!
After a long, long night the next day was kind of mello. A few of us wanted to get our blood circulating again so we went for a walk around the shops in Yellowstone.
Darcie, Ashley, Kara and her little girl Marley getting ready for our walk.
Regan, Kenna (hiding), Aunt Caroline and Aunt Shirlene
Being the tourists, we stopped and posed in front of this colorful buffalo! Our walk didn't last very long but it was nice to get out! :)
Again, after dinner, the laughter continued with more games, stories, and goodies!
My cousins: Tasia and Shyla (Sorry about the blurred picture girls!)
Regan and baby Cooper (she is such a good baby-not a peep the entire weekend!)
Aunt Janice and my cousin Paige
Mom and Garrett and Aunt Janice. It just dawned on me that in every picture I took, my mom is holding Garrett! Did I even take care of him this weekend?? Or did I just pawn him off on my mom? Sorry mom!
After another long night, we got up way too early to have breakfast! Aunt Janice, Paige and Tasia had to make it back to Salt Lake City in time to catch their flight to California (hence the early breakfast) but before we said our final goodbye's we had one last photo op!
Here is my grandma with her 4 of her 11 great-grandkids. Avery Jane is on her right, Marley Shay on her left, Garrett, and Cooper-P.S. Garrett was the only boy on this trip! :)
I was looking through my pictures before posting and came across this one and started laughing histerically! Cooper is cross-eyed and her expression says it all!! (Ugh! Another picture? Please!)
Oh my gosh! I'm still laughing.....She just looks so annoyed! :)
My Mom's Sisters: Aunt Debbie (sister-in-law), Aunt Caroline, Aunt Janice, Grandma, Aunt Shirlene and my pretty mom
The Gang!
My Family
The Girl Cousins and Grandma
Sadly, not everyone could make it this year. They were missed and hopefully we can all be together next year! Thanks Lani for putting this all together! I know we all had so much fun and will always remember the fun times we shared together! Until next year.......

Its always good times when we are together. I don't think I ever laugh as hard anywhere else. Just FYI... Wolf Creek is where we stayed at last year. This one was just called West Yellowstone. I am going to have to copy some of your pics. Love ya!
How fun is that. Our family used to do that, but now we are all too far apart and haven't done it for two years, I miss it. I am so glad that you had a great time. It sounds like you have an amazing family. You need to make sure you do it again next year.
What a great weekend for you and your family and what a great tradition to look forward to every year! I am glad you guys had fun, I bet John is happy to have you guys home!
So fun!! I need to do something like that. What a great tradition. I'm so glad Garrett was good for you so you could enjoy yourself. Hopefully I'll see you soon!
Okay, that picture of Cooper is hilarious. I need a copy of that one.
Looks so fun! Girls are the best! I've been meaning to have a "girl's weekend" with my sisters, and you've inspired me to actually do it.
