Happy Anniversary!

It has actually been a couple of weeks now, but Dallin and I just celebrated our 6th anniversary! I can't believe how time flies. We have had a wonderful six years together and I could not ask for a better husband and father for Makenna. I am so lucky to have him! On our anniversary Dallin took me to dinner at The Roof at temple square. We had the most awesome view of the temple at sunset.
The next day we decided to take a short road trip to Manti, just for fun. We drove up Maple Canyon there, then went and walked around the Manti temple. Makenna thought it was pretty fun to run down the big hill. We had lunch at The Malt Shop, Yummy! Then we found a fun park for Makenna to play. She loved the tire swing and didn't want to get out! What a fun day!

We just got back last week from Idaho! This is our annual trip we take every summer with Dallin's side of the family. His grandpa owns a cabin in Island Park, so we all head up there for fun at the lake. We decided to to take a different route this year for new scenery. We ended up driving up through a few small towns in Montana. We stopped in Virginia City to check it out. It's a small town with little shops in really old buildings and all the people working in the shops were dressed up like pioneers. One of the shops Makenna made us stop at was of course, the candy store! We then headed through Earthquake Lake area which was really pretty. Once we got to the cabin, the next few days were just having fun swimming in the lake, boating, water skiing, and of course Big Birtha!
We also went to the rodeo one day. This was Makenna's first time at a rodeo so she thought it was pretty cool. When we got there we kept seeing horses and all she wanted to do was ride on one of the horses. When the rodeo first started she was all woried because the horses were bucking the people off their back. We had to tell her it was just a game, then she was fine. We always have fun when we go up to the cabin and we look forward to going again next year!
