Camping Season

Okay, so we have gone on 2 camp trips the last 2 weekends and I just haven't gotten the pictures up yet, so here ya go. . .

We went camping up Logan Canyon with my family over the weekend of the 17th. It was great! The location could have been a little better, but the company totally made up for it! We played tons of games from Blongo Ball to Sequence to Psychiatrist around the campfire. We fished, ate the best food, roasted mallows, and all the kids did so good. I was so proud of Hunter!

We then went camping in the Uintah's with the Gnehm's and Kenley's over the 24th. . .

For this trip, we took up the ATV's and went riding through the beautiful mountains. We also went fishing in the newly purchased rafts at Marsh Lake. The trout were great! We all caught some! Okay, almost everyone... Sorry Suz, Derek, and Cars:) We had a Camp Triathlon, which included events such as "Caw", Blongo Ball, and 22-Shooting. Rick was the winner! Good job Rick!! We also figured out that Catch Phrase is not our family's forte:) We had so much fun!

Thanks everyone for the wonderful memories and time spent. We love you all!

Hunter's First Rodeo!

We went to the Ogden Rodeo last night with Nana, Papa, Jennie, Anthon, Baylee, and Boston. It was so much fun! Hunter got adopted by Grandpa and Grandma Rollins while we were there. It was so cute! All it took was a sucker and Hunter was hooked:) Hunter loved watching all the animals and the crowd cheering... and he loved to watch Baylee yelling and jumping up and down! She is hysterical. I love Rodeo season!

BBQ @ Nana & Papa's

We had a get together with a bunch of our friends and family at my mom and dad's house! It was so fun. We played croquet, ate, chatted, roasted smores, and watched "The Private Eyes" on the outdoor projector!Boston and Hunter always have to try out new things together:)Soon-to-be "Mommy and Daddy"! Looking so cute!



Thanks Mom and Dad!

Play Day @ Roy Aquatic Center

Little Jaunt Up Farmington Canyon

For a family night we went riding up Farmington Canyon with Rick, Cindy, Alicia, Gordon, Grandma and Grandpa (of course), and Derek & Emily. It was Derek first experience with the ATV's. He had a blast! We roasted hot dogs and marshmellows. It was so much fun! It was a little cooler than I thought it was going to be, but the fire warmed us right up! Hunter absolutely loves riding in the Ranger. He is definitely our little outdoors dude! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Happy 4th of July!

The 4th of July is my favorite holiday, and Kaysville does it the best! We began the day by eating breakfast at the DATC which my father organizes. (Thanks Dad!) Yummy! Then we make our way through thousands of people getting ready for the parade to watch the fanfare from our traditionally marked spot in front of my Grandma Dunford’s home. Our entire family comes. We then prepare ourselves for the water portion as Anthon is always ready to soak us! This year however, there was a little mishap which ended the parade a little short, but it was still fantastic. Hunter didn’t quite understand everything, but he loved the toys Auntie Brooke and Uncle Ryan gave to him as they walked by with their “Bukoos” float. (which, if anyone knows my mom, she keeps in business!) We then went to Ty’s Grandma Rogers house for a BBQ in honor of my brother-in-law, Derek, who just returned home the night before from his mission to Africa. Food, games, and a water fight marked the day well! We made our way back to Kaysville for the grand finale of fireworks! However, Ty and Hunter both crashed from the long day and stayed behind. Which was probably for the best because I’m sure the fireworks would have scared the daylights out of our darling little one Next year buddy! And, that was our fabulous 4th! I’m so proud of the country in which we live and the freedoms we enjoy. Thank you to our brave soldiers!

Derek's Home!!

Derek has arrived! He came home July 3rd at 9pm. It was so great to see him. Derek was able to meet his darling nephew for the first time! He was quite shocked at how big he was. We had a great holiday and we love having him back. We love you Uncle Derek!
