My New Found Cousin

So, here is my story...
I'm so totally excited that I have reconnected with my cousin Ashley! We have always been good friends and kept in touch, even though she lives in Oregon! But we really kind of got out of touch for while and I'm glad to say things are back on track and we are closer now than we ever have been! Funny how things work out! Sadly, the thing that brought us back together was my Grandma May's funeral...
Anyway, on a happier note, she married the COOLEST guy! His name is Don and they LOVE to have fun! They came to visit us in Ogden last year and they made the trip to Jackson this year, so we met them up there for a few days. It was a blast! My parents even babysat while we played! It was pretty fun!
It is also pretty amazing to me how much they have in common with Todd and I. We are so similar! Ashley and I could be sisters if you ask me! :) ...Anyhow, they just bought their second dog, thanks to us and our wonderful advice about the joys of having two dogs. They also bought some cross country ski's for Christmas...thanks to us and our wonderful advice about how FUN cross country skiing is! Now all they need to do is have a baby....thanks to our wonderful advice about how "fun" it is to have baby. HAHA! ya right! Anyway...story time can be over now and picture time can start.
We went cross country skiing up Snow King. The best part was going down...both Todd and Don ate it...Ashley and I, well we're May's, of course we didn't fall! :)
Cousins ...and our 3 dogs, soon to be 4!Love my sweetie
Coolest picture ever!...on our way to Granite Hot springs on their sweet snowmobile!
The jump Picture...tried but didn't succeed :)
Todd wore some goggle from like the 1980's and this is what happened to him..hehe.
Granite Falls...so pretty.
Another Jump picture...successful.
At the hot springs. However, the crazy lady that owned it wouldn't allow us to eat in the hot springs, she watched my every move through the window of her apartment....She was so creepy, it kind of felt like we were in the movie "The Shining".
So nice...
Thanks for a much needed vacation Don and Ashley. We had a blast! And thanks mom and dad for watchin our little one!
