Alaska!

Our trip on a cruise to Alaska in July was certainly memorable. Lynn and I have always wanted to go on a cruise. Lynns mom and Forest (Lynn's step father), Kelly (Lynn's sister) and Jeff (Kelly's husband) all went on a 7 day cruise to Juno, Sitka, Ketchikan, and Victoria Canada. We had a wonderful time!

Lumber jack show in Ketchikan

Everyday there was a fun towel animal on our bed.

Lynn and Jeff went Salmon fishing and had a blast!

Great catch! these boys acted like a 4 year old in a candy shop I have never seen them so excited! Lynn loves fishing and he has always wanted to go to Alaska to salmon fish. This was a pretty big dream come true.

Our trip to Cedar to see baby Chestyn and Rachel

Our trip to Cedar to see Rachel and baby Chestyn. I adore my sister Rachel she is amazing! I wanted to run see her right when little Chestyn was born. He is simply adorable. His name is Chestyn Oaks Brindley. He weighed 8 lbs 4 ounces. My little Brylee was fascinated over a baby. She asks me everyday if I can have one in my tummy. NO WAY!!! I am so done. I can cuddle my nephews and nieces now.

It is so much work to be a baby! Just one more nap.

Bryson holding Chestyn

A better look at this precious little one.

My sister Rachel and her baby. I absolutely love Rachel she is like my own kid. (thank goodness I am not a grandma yet though)

Kaylee and Chestyn

Brylee really would have taken him home. She LOVED him!

Here he is with his bright pretty eyes.

And he is back to sleep. I wish I could sleep that much! LOL! Our trip was so much fun! We also got to play with cousin Channer (Rachels other boy) And my brother Bawb his wife Heidi and there boys were there. Also my borther Alan and his wife Malia and their kids came. That is pretty good getting 4 out of the 7 kids in one place. I just wish my sister Rachel lived closer to me. It was so sad driving out of Cedar knowing it would be a couple more months before I see her again.

Easter time!

Brylee loved the hunt.

A new tie and Mountain dew. (like Bryson needs caffiene) That darn Easter bunny!

Look at my basket!

"My new spring dress, I love it!"

Dalynn thought he was too old to have a basket this year. Never too old for his mountain dew.

Bryson got mountain dew and lot's of candy. Bryson with candy and dew Watch out!!!!

Brylee made a little chick at preschool, She is growing so fast.

Painting eggs. Bryson showing his off.

Kaylee mixing colors to get purple.

Brylee loved painting eggs. She did a great job!

Having fun with eggs

Dalynn being a "dork" he painted only one egg and then decided he was too big! I am so glad I am not to big yet! Too bad Dalynn wants to grow up so fast.

Bryson had fun painting and making 2 or 3 colors on his eggs.

Kaylee painting

Easter is so much fun! But we also remembered the true meaning of Easter. We are so grateful for all of the many blessings and the attonement of Jesus Christ.

The living aquarium!

Bryson and Kaylee looking at lake trout. They kept saying they have caught these fish. With their dad as a big fishermen he has truned the kids into pretty good ones too! We had fun! We heard that the other part opened at the first of March. We missed out on the whole other side. If you get a chance to go let us know if it is worth going to see.
