Boulder Jensen '09

So here are more pictures from our vacation in June. These are pics from the Jensen Family Reunion, which was held at Uncle Earl's Cabins near Boulder Mountain in Utah... one of the most beautiful places on Earth, in my opinion! It's been sort of a family tradition for the past 8 years or so to go to these cabins and go four-wheeling, fishing, hiking, and whatever else comes to mind. Plus, it's really close to my mom's sister's house, Veola & Emmett, and it's always really fun to visit them. They're always so kind, and instead of a "Hell-O" for us, Aunt Veola always has an "Oh-Hell" for us. Haha. It's always in good humor, and for some reason, it's always been really funny to me to hear her cuss.
Anyway, more about the trip... Atley and I were sick most of the time in Utah (hmmm, does this sound at all familiar?) I had bad bronchitis and a nasty sinus infection, and Atley had tonsilitis and horrible ear infections that are still clearing up with her third antibiotic. However, we still had fun! We just stayed indoors most of the time at the cabins. But it's so beautiful in southern Utah, we just really enjoyed the scenery. :) And, it was super nice to see everyone together, since most of us live outside of Utah and in all different states. So, enough babbling. Let's get on with the pictures.
This is my adorable nephew Cayson, Jess and Jen's baby boy. And they have another one on the way!!! Due in December!

The Jensen siblings in front of Lower Bowns Reservoir. Me, Meriss, Ad and Jess. This is one of the few times I went outside the entire trip.

Andy and I. After this picture was taken, we went on a long drive through the beautiful mountains, and took as many off-road trails we could in our Yukon. We saw so many beautiful views! We truly love those mountains and the surrounding area.


This is Atley's little cousin buddy, Bryson. Aren't they cute? Atley had soooo much fun with Dev and Bry on the trip! She LOVED them. They could always make her giggle.


The two goofy sisters.



Atley posing on the cabin floor with some of her toys. This is where she spent 90% of her time at the cabins.


And here she is... reading like a little lady. Don't I have a sophisticated daughter? I know, I know! She just learned so fast! Who needs school?

Here is the boy craft that Aunt Rach helped them with. Tigers and cheetahs, if you couldn't tell.


Aunt Rach and Kyler buddy. What some sweethearts.


My dad and the nice sized fish that he and Bry caught!! Wow! Good lookin' cutthroat.

And my hubby with his fish! This lake is Fish Creek.
