". . . Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching comes the changes. . . The tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleanded surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will - to your surprise - miss them profoundly. . . Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey. . . For one day each of us will run out of tomorrows." -Pres. Thomas S. Monson

Here's Derek and Emilee! Oh so cute! We are breaking Em into the outdoors world:)
There's Daddy and Hunter!
The happy couple again;)I loved this one of Hunter! He is so funny! He was throwing rocks into the lake, and then he was so proud of himself:) I love little boys!
There's us all just chillin'!We stopped to build a fire and eat dinner. Hunter thinks he is such a big helper... he likes to throw on all the wood he can find:)
Derek and Em obliged to roast us all our hot dogs;) It was way too hot by the fire in the hot sun!
Hunter and Daddy goin on a walk....
They always bring me back flowers. Here's Hunter bringing them back... :) Love him!
Bri does the same thing for Suz! So cute! Wonder where Ty got it from? ;)Hunter loves to explore!

Hunter loves to ride with Grandma and Grandpa! He's their little buddy for sure:)

CaMpInG uP fArMiNtOn CaNyOn!

We went camping with just our little family up Farmington Canyon! It was so much fun! We didn't realize however that there was something smeared on our camera lens until after we got back, so all of our pictures have a wonderful blur right down the middle... oh well;) Atleast it's something! We did have our video camera so not all was lost.

We got up there, set up camp, cooked hot dogs and smores, and tucked in early with Hunter Friday night. The next morning came very early { Hunter wakes up with the sun when we go camping:) } We cooked french toast and eggs for breakfast and went riding! It was so beautiful up there! Perfect weather, perfect views:) Hunter crashed so we went back to camp.

We then went for a little hike! Which turned into 3 hours:)

We had to put Ty/Hunter's new pack to good use!

Which also put my not-so-good knee to good {or should I say bad} use;)

Hunter fell asleep.... again!

We played some more and just enjoyed the beauties of nature! Thanks sweetie for taking us!
