Camping in the Uintas

We went camping and 4-wheeling in the Uintas with family for two nights for Pioneer Day. This was Jackson and Ashlynn's first time 4-wheeling. They had a blast. It sprinkled a little during the day and rained both nights after we went to bed.

We had fun roasting starburst and marshmellows. The kids spent hours catching grasshoppers. By the time we left they had 5 water bottles filled with grasshoppers.

We had so much fun spending time together as a family. It was so beautiful there. Everything was so lush and green. It was a wonderful camping trip, but very dirty!

(Thanks Honey for not going to Georgia)

Date Night!

Mommy and Daddy had a date night. We got to take Pa's corvette. We had a delicious dinner, looked at our house being built, and went for a little drive. We had an enjoyable evening without kids. When we got home we promised the kids that we could take them for a spin. Of course we did not go far, but Daddy gunned it a couple of times and the kids loved it! Thanks Mom and Dad for the watching the kids and letting us use your nice ride!

Frosty the Goat

Our friends borrowed a baby goat for the day. It was a joke for her mom's birthday. We just had to go see it. Her name is Frosty. It was born during the winter and got frost bite on her ears. The kids had fun feeding her. She was such a sweetie.

Last Day of Fishing Club

Today was the last day of fishing club. Jackson and Ashlynn have been fishing every Wednesday for the past six weeks. They had a big fish fry and gave out awards. Jackson got the "Most Fish" award. He caught 11 and Ashlynn caught 10. They had so much fun fishing and had the best leaders. Their team was called "Catfish".

Ashlynn's Birthday Party!

Today was Ashlynn's birthday party with her friends. The kids had so much fun swimming.

Ashlynn's 5th Birthday!

We had a birthday party with all the cousins. She was so excited to be turning 5. She got some fun gifts.

The four of us went to Macaroni Grill for her birthday dinner...our usual tradition. She loves when they sing "Happy Birthday". We had a fun evening celebrating her 5th birthday.

Happy 5th Birthday Ashlynn!

Today Ashlynn Grace turned 5 years old. It is hard to believe that our baby girl is 5. We have been so blessed to have her in our family. She is such a sweetie, but is our little drama queen. She is definitely a character and keeps us laughing. She is very girlie and loves to go shopping with her mommy. She loves to hang out and play with her big brother. And she absolutely adores her daddy. She has him wrapped around her finger. She is such a wonderful daughter, sister, grand daughter, and friend.

Happy Birthday Love Bug!

We Love You!

4th of July

Daddy and Jackson woke up at 5:30 AM and went fishing for 6 hours with Jake and Kaily. They drove up to Strawberry Reservoir and rented a fishing boat. Jackson caught the biggest fish. It was 18 1/2 inches long. As they left the ranger stopped them. Little did they know that they had to release fish that were over 15 inches. So Daddy and Kaily got a ticket. Thank goodness they could not ticket Jackson. The sad part was that they took the fish...so poor Jacks could not even bring his fish home. They had fun even though it ended up being one expensive outing.

We spent Fourth of July with all the family at Grandma and Pa's house. We enjoyed having a BBQ, watching the firework show, doing fireworks, and roasting marshmellows for smores.

Boating at Deer Creek

Our friends invited us to go boating at Deer Creek. This was the first time boating for them. They had fun playing in the water and riding in the boat.
