Camping Day 2- Fabulous Day, Horrible Ending.

We started out the day with my favorite camping breakfast. Pancakes and Bacon. Yum.


Then we packed lunches and headed onto the alpine loop to go over to Tibble Fork Reservoir. Seriously such a beautiful drive.


We arrived, gathered our fishing stuff and walked to find the perfect spot.


I've never been fishing before. Jeremy went as a scout. Our kids have never been. So this was a big trip for us.

We luckily didn't catch any fish. But the guy next to us did, and he let the kids touch it. Hadley was the only one who actually did.


Taylor had so much fun. Casting it out, reeling it in.


Baylee was a natural.


Boston love love loved it. He has the kind of patience for fishing. I don't.


Megan and Jeremy also took their turns. I didn't. I didn't have a license.


After fishing we went to a picnic area for some lunch. Oh how I love these kids!


Back at camp, Jeremy was making Taylor and Baylee laugh like crazy. They sure love their uncle Jeremy. We played some games, and just relaxed.

Around dinner time, we decided to play a game of Frisbee Golf. We were having so much fun!


I capture this super cute picture of our Hadley Boo just minutes before she took a fall on the road. She cried, I picked her up and can her back to our camp...


where Jeremy bandaged her up like this... Seriously, so much blood. We knew she needed stitches.

So Jeremy and I took her down the canyon to Insta-care for some some stitches. The hardest part was keeping her away on the way down there. 4 stitches and a sucker later, we were on our way back up to camp.


Meanwhile Megan held down the fort back up at camp. She had the kids roast some hot dogs for dinner.


They even gathered some more firewood for us.

It was a sad ending to our perfect day, but at least nothing worse happened.

Camping Day 3- Cleanup, Baseball, Waterfall

Everyone slept good. We woke up and had an easy muffin/fruit breakfast...


Hadley showed off her awesome Mickey Bandaid.


While we all cleaned and packed up, the kids had fun with these "Talky, Talky's."


I promise we didn't do this... Taylor voice is magic. If Hadley was crying, screaming, or whining, all Taylor had to do was say "Hi." and she would INSTANTLY stop. It was unbelievable.

We were supposed to hike to Stewart falls (3.6 miles) But everyone was just to tired. So we decided to head down Provo Canyon to Vivian Park and let the kids play.


In Provo Canyon there is this fun place we found called "The Mug." We will have to eat there one day...


The Provo River was just a roaring... moving so fast!


Baylee and Hadley. Best friends.


Then we headed further down the canyon to Bridal Veil Falls. It is so beautiful. I never get tired of seeing it.



That was the last stop. After that it was homeward bound. Besides Hadley's stitches, it was such a Fun Fun Fun trip. I loved having Megan, Taylor, and Baylee along. They were such an awesome help with the kids, and so excited about everything we did. I LOVE camping!

Jordan's 6th Birthday!

My Parents, Logan, Mason, my kids, and I all rode down to my nephew Jordan's 6th Birthday Party up in Idaho.

Here is the handsome Birthday Boy!


All the kids had so much fun playing on their awesome airplane and swingset!



Then they played lots of fun games. They played pin the tail on tails.


They caught sonics "Golden Rings"


They had some slip and slide fun!



Then they warmed up in their towels to open presents and each cupcakes! YUM!

It was so great to get to spend some time with my nephews and niece! I sure wish they lived closer!

T-ball Season Update

These pictures are from probably my most favorite game of the season. Boston had the BEST sportsmanship. He was giving everyone high 5's and telling them good job when they would run to his base. In fact, at one point he was talking to a kid so long, the kid forgot to run to the next base and we got him "out." Awesome Tactic buddy!
Boston was even lucky enough to have his Grandma and Grandpa Garner come to a game! He was SO EXCITED to have them come watch him.

Here is Boston's BIGGEST fan! Hadley has LOVED going to all the T-ball games, and cheering for Boston, and eating suckers.

Dinosaur Park

My Mom and I took the boys to Dinosaur Park in Ogden.

This is how the boys chose to walk in. Logan and Boston holding hands, and Mason pushing Hadley in the stroller. To cute.


None of us had ever been here... so we were really excited!


The inside had some robotic dinosaurs, and also lots of skeletons. Really cool.


Outside was the best though. There was TONS of these huge dinosaurs spread out over this huge plot of beautiful land.


The kids loved diggin' for fossils


Like I said, Beautiful.
Photo Opportunities




The Golden Alosaurous Cave


Peek-a-Boo!


Mason is getting SO TALL!


Our Dangerous Creatures


Diggin' for Gold.


We found lots!


This was Hadley's favorite of course because it involved getting wet.



The is how we roll.


Thanks for finding the awesome deal Grandma! We LOVED Dinosaur Park!
