Our first camping trip of the summer!!

Can I tell you you how much I love to go camping!!!! Sorry for all the pictures but I had too many to choose from (like always) When I was little we went camping all the time and I loved it and still do. O my gosh we had a blast camping this weekend!!! We did just about everything we could do in the time that we had. We went on a huge motorbike and 4-wheeler ride and it was a beautiful ride and we had so much fun. We spent a day in Jackson Hole and had a horse and carriage ride that was wonderful and the girls giggled and loved it!!! The girls got a play pink gun and their Daddy taught them how to shoot it in the trailer at a stuffed moose, very funny :) Josh bought me a gun over a year ago and I have never even held it but I finally got a chance to shoot a log with it and it was fun. We went fishing and Maddy caught a tiny fish, she was so excited!!! Kenna reminded me of myself when I was little and went camping, she packed her babies around everywhere she went. She was always saying shhhhhhh baby sleeping, she will be a good Mommy someday. Maddy learned how to ride the little motorbike and she was a natural, it was so fun to watch her. Josh stayed right with her and was helping her, I remember my Dad doing that with me when I was Maddy's age, so much fun!! We sat by the fire and had smores and dutch oven peach cobbler....yummy:) We had the best weekend ever!!!

Year End Dance Recital 2009

Another year of dancing has come to an end for the girls I can't believe it. Maddy and Kynzee have now been dancing for 3 years and they are getting so good at it!! I love to go and watch them perform at the end of the year and see how proud they are at their good work, they are always grinning from ear to ear at the end of the night and I just love it :) They practice so hard all year and it is fun to have two little girls in dance, next year we will have three that is crazy, but so much fun and so worth it!!

Whitney and Shar (the girls that babysit for me) also take dance through the same place as my girls so we got this fun picture of all of them together!! It has been fun to be able to watch all of them dance at the recitals. My girls just love these two and look up to them so much :)

Trip to Salt Lake City Utah

We made another fun trip to Utah last weekend, and it was a blast!!! We went with my sister Katie and her boyfriend Rodger. My girls just love them both so much and they were so fun to spend the weekend with. It was nice not to have to be anywhere at any certain time, we just relaxed, slept in, swam everyday, and played until late at night!!! The girls had so much fun that they said we should move to Utah and live in a hotel :) :) I thought that was a great idea because the weather was just beautiful and then we got home to nasty wind!!! The girls love to swim and it was fun to watch them laugh and laugh and have so much fun in the water. Little Kenna kept wanting to jump off the side of the pool and have her Daddy catch her, she would say "again, again" she is such a brave soul. We spent the day Sunday at Temple Square and the Conference Center and it was worth every minute. We went through some of the Visitor Centers and listened to a fun little skit on families being forever and the girls sat there and listened and watched all of it, I was so proud of them for being so good. We went to the garden on the top of the Conference Center and it was amazing, I had been there before but it was fun taking my girls. The girls saw the Angel Moroni on top of the Temple and asked what that shiny gold thing was on the top of the temple, it was funny, but a great opportunity to tell them who that was and why he was up there. Josh proposed to me in front of the big waterfall and it was fun to come back to it 7 years later and take a picture of my girls in front of it. We had so much fun, the time always goes by too fast but it was worth it, I love a vacation even if it is just a few hundred miles away :) :)
