Weekend with Grandma Heidi!

Last weekend was my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary.
Fifty years is hard to comprehend. Clayton and I have been together
for five and I can't really remember life without him. My mom flew
out for the anniversary party and so I took a few days off work
and Anna and I got to hang out with Grandma Heidi. It was an
awesome party and great to see extended family that I have not
seen in years.

Anna & my mom. She was glued to Grandma Heidi while we toured Zion and Bryce.My girls, Grandma Jill, my mama, and Anna.Anna loved that she got so much attention. Grandma Heidi would do anything she wanted. I The anniversary party wore Anna out. For those of you who know Anna.. she doesn't usually do this.IThis is a picture of my grandparents. I never got both of them on camera. They are so sweet. Another cute pic that didn't turn out so cute. They were the only ones dancing. For precious.Anna decided to cut in. She loved dancing with Grandma Jill.This picture makes me laugh. It is typical Grandpa Bob. Just hanging out. Whenever he
goes shopping with my grandma he always finds a bench and waits for her.

Me and my favorite little cousin Brylie.
Anna & Clayt. Anna had like seven of these sandwiches. The girl never stops eating!I think it is time for another one!Grandma Lydia and Casey. Good to see these guys.Karl and Renee. They are some family friends from Indiana. They are so funny
and were so helpful during the party. We had family pictures the night after the party. These are pre-family pics
taken with our own camera. Sara Boulter took some pics and I will post when I get them!

The next few pics are pics of Anna & cousins. She had a great time hanging out with everyone.

I have found out that my little girl is a tomboy. She loves to dig in the dirt and climb around. Her and Hunter are very mischevious!
This is Anna on the last day that Grandma Heidi was here. We got up early
and went shopping in St. George. I taught Anna how to put a towel on her head and
she thought it was so great. How easily amused kids are :)

Mongolian BBQ is my new favorite place. I have never been there but the food is great and the people are so nice! Anna even learned how to use chopsticks! Her dad is so proud. Anna was such a trooper. She sat on this chair and read a book while my momand I shopped in Deseret Book. It was so great to see family and have my mom here. We miss her!

Why is is that since we have left Kanab, everyone seems like they have changed so much. Anna is so big and so beautiful. I love her. And Jen showed me your family pictures from Sara Boulter (while she was showing me hers) and I absolutely love them! They are so good. I hope you don't mind I got a sneak peek. It made me want to have a baby just so I could take cute family pictures too. Ha!
