Camping In The Uintah Mountains With Friends.



Shadow Lake



Its amazing how much camping costs. The food, the camping spot, the gas; Everything adds up so quickly. An yet what the kids will remember most is the time they spent climbing on this big rock next to camp. Sometimes I wonder if it would have been easier just to find a big rock close to home and let them play there. LOL.



Emma and Cosette "Best Buds".



Red Rock Waterfalls



These waterfalls are a family favorite, because there are a few spots on the falls you can slide on the rock like a water slide.













"The Polar Plunge"



The guy's had this crazy idea to go into a deep spot of the falls and do a polar plunge.















AAhhh!!! I love it when my kids bring me flowers. It melts me every time...



We love exploring and the adventures these machines bring.



I would say we had a pretty good trip!!!

We sure had a lot of fun. I can't wait until next time... We are always up for a fun adventure...

First Day Of School




School time already!!! I have mixed feelings about school starting. I don't want summer to end, but ready for the routine to begin again. I know my kids are excited.

Geo-Cacheing Up Farmington Canyon

Two Sunday's ago I had a migraine headache and I got the kids ready for church and sent them on there way. I got in the shower and finally got my headache to go away. I decided to finish getting ready for church. On my way to church I saw everybody walking home. "I was thinking what is everybody doing?" When Kent saw me he burst out laughing real loud for all to hear. "The Fire Alarm went off". They sent everyone home early. I guess getting all ready for nothing is the thought that counts. right!

So getting out early, we decide to go up Farmington Canyon for a hike and do a Geo-cache.




A cave the kids found on the way to the waterfall.




Finding the Treasure.






Up by the waterfall I was surprised to see how many smashed cars there were up this ravine. I couldn't help, but think did the people in this car make it? There were about 6 cars in that ravine that have fallen off a cliff. Some more smashed than others.

Happy Birthday Karlie!!!



Karlie is my beautiful sweet heart. Ever since she was a baby she has always had a smile on her face with those cute dimples. She is always considerate of others and wants to include everyone. I am so blessed to have her as my oldest. She is a wonderful helper and is definitely my peacemaker. I know I can depend on her. Happy 9th birthday Karlie!!!



Karlie's new bike on her birthday.



Karlie's Birthday Party with her friends. There was eleven girls and they insisted on spraying Kent. He didn't mind I think they all had a blast.



First day of preschool.



I thought this picture was funny. A great example of having a cheezer smile. I love it.





Karlie and the best kitty we have ever had.



Halloween with the cousins.

My scanner is not working right now so I don't have baby pictures downloaded yet. It was fun to remember the fun times with Karlie. Happy 9th Birthday Karlie!!!
