Glazed or Sugar? :)

     We had our annual donut making day on Friday.  They turned out yummy, as usual!! :)  We didn't get as many pictures this year as we were doing a lot of multi-tasking, but I have a few to share.

 Mom and Rach working on the sugar and glaze toppings.

 Either way they sure are yummy!  Nothing beats a homemade donut! :)

 Later on that night, we enjoyed a delicious prime rib meal at Bob and Debbie's house.  

Rachel and I relaxed together and visited.

      A different night we had the chance to have dinner and visit with Debbie's family.  We got to see her sister, Cindy, and her family from Washington, D.C., Susie and Darrell from Gillette, and her mom and dad from Grand Junction, Colorado.  Colter kept us entertained with his card tricks; he is quite the talented magician!!

 Cheyenne and Grandma Irma enjoying each other's company.

Rachel "taking five."

Mountain Beauty

     The Big Horn Mountains provide such beauty this time of the year.  Darrell took some fabulous pictures of the flowers (especially our state flower, the Indian Paintbrush) and the wildlife.  Enjoy!!

Wyoming Welcome

     Hello from beautiful Wyoming!  We began our annual vacation to my homeland right after the 4th of July.  We've had a lot of family festivities and lots of fun during rodeo week.  It's always good to be home!! :0)

 Dakota and JJ have settled right in.

     My brother decided that I needed my picture in front of the sign as Lulu has been my family's nickname for me for the last 30 years!!

 Bob and Debbie

Mom and Me 

     The four of us ate at Lulu's which featured these awesome crepes.  The first crepe contained bananas and Nutella while the second crepe had raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries.

     It was so nice to see my "little" brother, Steven!!  He was able to come and spend a couple of days with us.

Lots of fun was had at the annual rodeo parade!!
