Summer Fun

Because we are on year round school, we only had a three week vacation for summer. We knew we had to squeeze in a lot in just a short time. We played so hard. This was our first a two big camping trips. We went to my Uncle Blake's cabin in Sanpete County.

Kamden is slowly learning to drive to four-wheeler on his own. We had him on these things from the time he was just a few months old.

We love our friends and playing with them...this is the parade. We came home with three big bags of candy.

The dinosaur park up Ogden Canyon. We have to make a visit here every year.

Wyatt's Birthday

I know this sounds so cliche, but I can't believe my baby is four! I think because he is my youngest, I have just wanted to freeze time, hold him a bit longer, but this kid will not be held, nor can we freeze any part of him. Wyatt is a goer. The only thing he wanted for his birthday was a skateboard. In fact, he overheard me telling my mom, "Would I be an idiot to get that kid a skateboard?!" To which he replied, "I will call you an idiot, I will mom." Like that was a good thing....Thanks Wyatt.

Wyatt has such an infectious smile. He melts hearts and basically can get what he wants with that smile. (He must get that from me..ha ha)

Wyatt and Grandma Pam.

Kamden and Wyatt at our second celebration at Grandma Connie's house...so spoiled!

Kade's Wedding

Wow has this summer come and gone, and we have been so busy! This catch up is for all you who might still read this (thanks jamie and McCall), but also for my own story. My youngest brother Kade was married in May. We are so lucky that Brooklin joined our family. She is such a beautiful bride!

All the nieces and nephews with Kade and Brooklin...they love both of them

It's funny how at someone elses wedding I still end up with the most pictures of my own family. I guess getting all dressed up calls for some silly family pictures.

These are three of my favorite people in the world. I know each of us aspire to be just like Grandma Melba when we grow up. She is amazing and most importantly we all love to be around her.

And just for fun I threw this picture in because he is so handsome.

Coral Pink Sand Dunes

Last weekend we went camping to the Coral pink Sand Dunes. Pretty crazy just how big this place is. The sand is so pretty.

We hiked up to some dinosaur tracks. Kamden and Wyatt being tough climbing this big rock.

Here is the kids with their cousins. They are a lot older than my kids but you wouldn't have known it. They all got along so well. I think I need to hire some boys to entertain my kids more often. Nathan and McKay were great friends!

This is Us! In all our camping glory!

Tad and Wyatt on our new toy!

Cori and Grandpa Rod in the Razor!

We had such a great time! We can wait to be out there again, camping and four-wheelin'!

Six!

I know I am playing a little catch up here, but I had to document this day. Cori turned six in March.

Here is Cori with her bestie Bailey. These two are two of a kind!

Cori chose to go to the Brick Oven for dinner- good choice Cor!

We splurged and Cori got a DS for her birthday. Only because she is such a good girl (most of the time!)

We even went to lunch, gosh now you all know how spoiled this little girl really is!

In honor of her birthday here are some things you should know about Cori:

• Cori is the NICEST girl I know. She is concerned about every one's feelings whether she knows you or not. Almost to the point of too nice.


• Cori loves school. Half day kindergarten is just not long enough for this girl.


• Cori has the messiest room in our house. I think it is her creativeness.


• Which leads me to...Cori has to do a "project" everyday. Whether this be making a cell phone out of paper, making her own flash cards, or just gluing garbage to a piece of paper. It is every day!


• Cori is always up for something new. She loves to ride her bike, ride the four-wheelers, loves camping, shopping, and going anywhere with her mom or dad by herself.


• Above all else Cori is one happy, fun-loving, outgoing girl who loves to make new friends wherever we go!
