Family is the best. Who doesn't love some built in friends, am i right?
For the past week I've been surrounded by extended family and it's been so lovely.

We started off last weekend at our cabin in the mountains. Marcus, Poppy and I joined my sister, Leisel and her hubs Sterling for a weekend of hikes, pancakes and shooting.

The girls in our family have a long history of being naturally good shots, so it's always fun to show off our hidden talent to the boys.

Her stance, on the other hand, had us all in tears...

B did her best with the BB gun, but I think she still needs a few years to develop some wrist strength before her talents can be properly judged :)

Marcus clearly looked smokin', so he gets the most photos in this post, because i love him, especially when he plays cowboy.

And I, although I much prefer riffles, held my own with this little revolver.

I gave Leisel the chance to reenact her stance to photo purposes. I think she looks much more intimidating in this shot.

Sterling also jumped at the opportunity for more photos.
It was of course a lovely time in the forest.

From the cabin, I alone, headed up to our family reunion in Utah. Marcus and Sterling couldn't get off work and Leisel dreaded driving twelve hours with a one year old, so she skipped out this year.

It was at a resort in Snowbird, and I've always thought Utah was gorgeous, but this place was insane! I felt like I was in Switzerland and also in a fairy tale, because chipmunks, and 'potguts' and weasels were constantly scurrying around my feet. We even had a few run-ins with a moose family and some raccoons!

It was so much fun to see all my out-of-town siblings and nieces and nephews, and taking the little one's on all the rides, but I missed my own little family terribly and Facetime wasn't a good substitute, so I was so happy to come home to them on Thursday evening--which just so happened to be Poppy's 2nd birthday!

For the second year in a row, she held onto her "Cutest Dog in the World" title. Boy, do I love her!
