Happy Birthday Granddad!

On the 21'st we gathered at Javiers and celebrated my Granddad's 76th birthday. If you,ve known him at all you'd know that he hasn't aged a bit! I have always been really close to him and I like to think that I'm his favorite since I was his first Granddaughter. I was lucky enough to travel to the East Coast with him twice to go to New York and to the Miss America Pageant. Now I love that my kids are getting to know him.
He's a great Granddad and I wish him the Happiest Birthday ever!!

Girls Weekend

I'm pretty sure I have the best friends. Once a year we go to Park City for the weekend to catch up, eat, shop, & talk. It was exactly the kind of get-a-way that I needed to get rejuvinated and be a better mom and wife!
We got there Friday night and those who arrived earlier went and got a pedicure (I missed that part, dang it!) We met up at Cafe Rio and got our food to go and went back to the condo so we could relax and talk while we ate. We of coarse talked till 2:30 in the morning and slept in until about 8:30. We talked some more, ate a yummy breakfast that we all brought something to contribute to then headed out shopping. We shopped till lunch then shopped some more until we were pooped! We went back to the condo to relax while we waited for some other girls that had come up later. We went to dinner at Sammy's Bistro then I headed home, cause Brett had to work in the moring. Some of the girls went home as well and some stayed over another night.

These are only some of the girls and some of the pictures that were taken. The funny thing was there were 4 girls who were nursing, so we had a freezer full of pumpted milk by the end of the trip and 3  that were pregnant. It was kind of nice not to be one of them, but next year I'm sure there will be a whole nother batch of pregnant and nursing mama's!

Fish Farm Fieldtrip

Today we went to the fish farm and corn maze with Brooklyn's pre-school class and I caught this sweet brother-sister moment.

Final Camping Trip of the Season

This past weekend we met up with our friends who live in Idaho and went on our last camping trip of the year before we put the trailer away for the winter. Lauren and I were in charge of finding a place to go and basically I did all the decision making becasue Lauren WILL NOT make a decision and I am horrible at making them so, we got off to a rough start because we were planning on going to a campground called "The Lodge" in Logan Canyon that my other friend told me about. We got there before Lauren and Royce so we were going to find a spot and meet them there, but (long story short) we couldn't find the campground and had to drive all the way back up the canyon to where we had service so we could tell them that we couldn't find it. They were still an hour and a half away so we parked at a day use area and let the kids watch the ducks and play on the grass. We ended up going to Hyrum Resevoir State Campground, which was still way fun, but crowded. The kids had fun playing by the lake, Stetson fell in the lake, and they had fun collecting pinecones and nuts, which Brooklyn called cococuts :)

After breakfast we decided that we'd go find another campground in Logan Canyon since Brett and I have been wanting to camp there. We found a beautiful campground called Malibu and found two perfect spots that were right next to each other, away from the road, and next to a river. It seriously was SO pretty with all the leaves on the ground and everythingb(I should have just gotten a picture of the campground.)

In this picture Stetson decided to have a seat on the ground and Lila came and sat right next to him...

 ...and even gave him some love. So sweet!

Don't mind Stetson socks and flip flops, his shoes were still wet from the lake.

 P.S. I love wearing socks and flip flops so if you ever see me wearing them don't judge ;)

Brooklyn and Addy had fun climbing on the rocks and finding sticks for fishing poles and fishing in the river...we did see a few fish.

This is the cute family we got to go with. So greatful to call them our friends. Brooklyn decided that she was close enough to them that she should be in their family picture.
