Bear Lake

We just recently spent a week in Utah and had a great time seeing all of our family on both sides.
Part of our week in Utah was spent at Bear Lake for the Stevenson reunion. We had a lot of fun swimming and being together as a family.The kids (and adults) had a great time building sand castles on the beach.

Just a cute picture of the kids
We had a great time jet skiing. Ryan and Samantha just couldn't get enough!

Larson visit


Here are some pictures of the our time spent with the Larson side of the family. We had a great time hanging out with family, playing way too much guitar hero, playing tennis, and celebrating my grandpa Larson's 90th birthday.Here are Samantha and Ryan feeling pretty cool on grandma's sports car!

This was taken during grandpa Larson's birthday celebration. Don't they look great!
It has been a long time since all of the Larson cousins have been together. Growing up, we always had to line up youngest to oldest for a picture. We couldn't give up that tradition!
Hot rod grandma!
By the way-I rotated this picture twice, but for some reason it keeps coming out this way.

Aaron turns 32

Aaron turned 32 yesterday and we had a small party for him. We all gave him a portable basketball hoop which everyone (especially Ryan) has been having a great time with. I ran out of time so I quickly made a cake in a 9X13 pan then frosted it. While I was outside, Ryan came in and "decorated" it. Well, there was a very thick layer of all kinds of sprinkles and it made for a pretty crunchy cake! You can't see the cake that well, but most of the sprinkles are right in the middle.
