In the beginning of the month of June John and I decided to take the kiddos up to the cabin to take them fishing and horse back riding and to just hang out in the beautiful mountains!!! The first night we arrived there it was nice weather, John was excited to go fishing, Makenna had brought her pink fishing pole and was way excited to use it and to go on dad's boat and go fishing!!! She had alot of fun and they caught a fish which Makenna was able to reel it in and touch it!!!

Then next morning we all headed out to go for a big horse back ride, which Makenna was so excited because this was her first really long ride and of course she gets to ride with Uncle Cole and she thinks this is way cool!!! The best is that Makenna did amazing we were gone for about 6 hours and tolerated it well, she got tired at the end but hanged in there!!! She defiantly is little cowgirl!!!

When we got back to the truck Great Grandpa and Grandma were waiting with Sayla and she was going crazy all she wanted was to get on the horse on go for a ride. Once she was on Sunny we were not able to get her off she was just loving it!! She is the future Cowgirl!! We love hanging out with the family and being in the mountain!!!

Dance Recitial!!!

This year Makenna has just love to go to dance, she took from Heart and Soul in Spanish Fork and has enjoyed it so much. Makenna spends most of her day dancing around the house putting her dancing shoes on and listening to music. I took some pictures of her in our back yard of her dance uniform, I thought it was pretty dang cute. She is such a beautiful little girl!!!

Makenna was so much fun watching her preform up on the stage she was not shy at all and was just going to town, she loved all of the attention and was eating it all up. We were all just laughing and having a great time watching her perform!!! She performed to dances and did pretty dang good at both of them!!!

She was lucky to have lots of family to come support her!!! She is very loved!!!

Playing house with kittens!!!

All I can say is that It is so funny watching Sayla play house with the kittens, she is alittle rough but the kittens are so good they just take it!!! She just puts them in the stroller and raps them up in blankets, place diapers on them every thing she is such a little mother it make us laugh so hard!!! The best is she watches Makenna and then copy cats what ever she is doing!!

Makenna is great with the baby kitties, she is quite the animal lover. She helps Sayla with the kittens, she yells mom sayla caring them by the tail and I come running in to save the poor kitty. The best is this is a every day occurrence in the Larsen home!!! Makenna is such a great sister she helps Sayla out so much!!

Idaho Falls

Over memorial weekend my cousin got married up in Idaho at the Idaho temple, so my family decided to head up there and make a little trip out of it!!! We all headed up there it was cold and rainy but it was fun!! I have driven by the falls but really have never stopped and looked at them they were beautiful. It was raining but we still got out and took pictures of them!!!

On the way up there Sayla got into a bag of Cheetos and went to town on them, then she feel asleep she was covered from head to toe is orange Cheetos it was funny we had to stop and completely change her cloths and wash her down, I love watching her suck her thumb. That night we all went swimming and of course my kids are fishes and went crazy!!! They just love the water and so dose the rest of the Rasmussen Family!!!

Makenna's Graduation!!!!

This was Makenna's first year of preschool and she loved every moment of it, she only went twice a week which was perfect!!! Miss Amy was her teacher and she is great!!! Makenna loves her. Makenna was so cute at her graduation, they sang nursery rhymes, Miss Amy talked about what they learned this year and then each one of them got up and said what they wanted to be when they grow up and Makenna was the first one to do it and she told every one when she grows up she wants to be a teacher. John and I were so proud of her!! It is fun but hard at the same time to see her grow up so fast!!!

This is are pictures of Makenna with her Teacher Miss Amy and her school mates, Makenna loves playing with Abby, Sidney they are such cute little girls. Then Miss Amy has this lady come in who owns a exotic animal business and brings all different kinds of animals in. Makenna loves it, she was going crazy over the snack and had to have a picture with it!!!

Makenna is so blessed to have such great Grandparents that come and support her in all that she dose, both Johns parents and mine came and of course Aunt Affy was able to be there!!!

Still remolding!!

While we were remolding we ended up putting everything in our bathtub. Well Makenna thought this was her own little hut she put all of her toys and blankets in there well John and I did not even care we were too busy getting stuff done well after a little while we did not hear back from her so I went looking for her and I found her sound asleep in her hut!! I thought this was pretty dang cute!! The other picture is a couple days later Grandma Karen came over to the see house and got in the bathtub with the girls!! She is a great Grandma!!

Zoo Fun!!!!!

It is finally warm enough to head to the Zoo and it was not raining, so my cute friend Alison and I decided to taken the kiddos to the Zoo and have a great time. I love going to the Zoo in the spring because all of the animals are out just hanging out!! Makenna and Sayla love the monkeys, Saysay was just going crazy over them, she was pointing and getting a kick out of them. Makenna loved the baby elephant she was excited because it was still little, she remembers it from the fall but did know how big it was going to be. We had fun watching the elephant play around.

The Red Panda is one of my favorite animals at the Hoggle Zoo, this was the first time I have ever seen it move around outside. I was so excited and Makenna was loving it!! I think it is a very unique animal. It was a wonderful day the weather was great. The kids were enjoying being outside!!

This was the first time that Makenna and Sayla and I have ever feed a giraffe, it was so amazing there are like horses and have these huge long tongues!!! Makenna was so brave she first did it all by her self and then the lady asked if Sayla wanted to do it and of course she did and so did mom, I loved every minute of it!! It was way fun.

Of course the kids had a ton of fun riding the carousel and the train!!! They laughed and giggled and enjoyed having fun!! I love taking my kids to the zoo!!!

Two things this girls loves, first she loves the dogs if I can not find sayls she is in the back yard throughing rocks inside the dog pin and just hanging out with them, She says Oak so cute and doggie. I just love her she makes me tickle inside. Second she loves to be outside and it is finally getting warm enough. The other funny thing about Sayla is she is always looking for a little edge to have a seat on, it does not matter what it is, if she can put her bum on it she is sitting on it. I just love her!!

Camping over Mother's Day!!

This year we decided to go camping over Mother's Day, Usually we head up over Memorial day and go up to Scolfield but this year we decided to head out west past Delta Utah out to the desert!! I have to say this was by far one of the best camping trips ever!! The girls were great. Makenna and Sayla had a lot of fun playing in the dirt, shooting guns, riding horses and riding the four wheeler!! It was great our entire family came and also my Uncle Karl and his wife came too!! We have a huge camp site with camping trailers, tent, and we holded out 8 head of horses. It was alot of fun!! The first night we got there it was Thursday we set up camp got every thing under control. Let the girls roast marsh mellows around the fire and ate some dinner!!

Next day all of the Adults decided we head out for a nice ride and see if we can see any wild horses and also head to this robbers roost, well we found the robbers roost it was pretty cool and way for back into the country!! We road for about 6 hours came back to camp and hung out the rest of the day playing with kids, ca thing lizards, shooting guns, riding the horse's and just having alot of fun. It was a blast both of the girls just love the horses the whole entire time we had to keep an eye on sayla because all she wanted was to head straight for horses. This was the first time we took Sayla on a long horse back ride and she did great. It was fun we all just took turns taking sayla and the kids for hikes.

The next day which was Saturday we decided to headed out to another different place to see if we could see some wild horses and we sure did find them!!!! It was amazing to see this huge horses in all different colors, almost in every band there was a baby horse!! I just could not get enough of it. We ran into a about 6 different bands of wild horses, and while we were out and about we ran into a rattle snake the Chance killed. Hunter thought this was pretty dang cool!!!

We had a great time being together as a family!! I am very grateful for having such a wonderful family!! We have the best time ever being together. I have to say there is a picture of my dad with girls sound asleep on him, this is the best well on Saturday night all the girls wanted to go for a ride on the four wheeler so Grandpa being a wonderful grandpa said sure so we bundle all of the girls up and said good by well about 45 Min's later here comes grandpa with all three of them past out it was so funny, we all just laughed!!
