"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Camping at Fall Creek... this is what I love to do!

I know these are not the greatest pictures but guess what.....I remembered my camera but forgot the memory card!!! I can't believe I did that I was so mad at myself until Josh said he had his little camera that he takes with him on all his adventures in life. I was glad to get some pictures to remember our fun weekend!! We got to go camping again and it was fun like it always is. I love to go, I absolutely love sitting in the mountains where it is so peaceful and there are no worries or things I have to get done. I feel like life is so safe when my family and I are camping. I feel the spirit when I am in the mountains and I am always so sad to go back home. My Grandma lives close to where we were camping so we got to go to church with her on Father's Day and it was such a beautiful day. We had a wonderful time with each other. Our friends came up one night and roasted hot dogs and that is always fun for the kids they sure love having motorbike riding buddies. I am so glad that I get to share my love for the outdoors with my children. Some of my favorite memories of my childhood are camping and sitting by a campfire....Fun Fun!!!

We went for lots of motorbike rides


I love how the girls followed right behind Daddy

Daddy doing what he loves

I tried to ride Josh's motorbike I did pretty good until I hit a sage brush stub and the motorbike bucked me off hard!!! Look how big this bike is compared to the little one behind it. I should never have been on it in the first place. Mommy's need to stay on their feet so they stay in one piece.

Going Fishing, we love to fish!!!









We love sitting by the fire! The kids always look for the moon and it's always there at night when we are by the fire.

O he wanted that smore so bad I had to get a picture of it!!
And then Kenna wanted in the picture so we took one of all three of us.

I asked Josh to take this picture of me and my kiddos, I love them so much! I will treasure this picture of us together.Happy Father's Day Daddy! Look at these special people that call you Dad you are so lucky!


Doing what Jaxon loves best!



More rides, isn't it just beautiful here? I love it and it smells so fresh.







I love it when the kids pick me flowers I always did that for my Mom and it was so fun, she would put them in a paper cup with water and now I am doing the same thing.


Good Memories!!!

Tee ball.....Tee ball.......Tee ball.......

I am playing cath up on my blog I know! I hate it when I get behind. I had some time tonight so I figured I would get busy and get caught up on our lives so here it goes!


Wow we have been busy watching tee ball lately!! Only two more games to go. My girls have done so good, I have been so impressed. It has been fun to sit with Kenna and Jaxon and watch them learn this sport that they use to know nothing about :) And that I use to know nothing about!! :)

Cousin Jani came to watch them play and I had to get a picture of her and my baby boy, he is so loved by his cousins! Jaxon even wears his cute baseball cloths to cheer them on!
Someday I will get some good pictures of the girls playing but for now here ya go. Hey I am too busy watching them play I can't take pictures at the same time :)


What happens when Daddy babysits?

It is a scary thought when I leave the kids home alone with Daddy!! This is what I came home to and he had taken pictures to prove it :) Let's just say Jaxon was having way too much fun in this dolly stroller.





Roasting Marshmallows

Since my sister in law had her baby we have been taking the kids on and off to help out and boy it is a lot of kids when you put theirs and mine together :) They sure have a lot of fun!! I thought they were all playing in the back yard and I looked out and saw this instead. Josh had built a fire and had them all roasting marshmallows, I loved watching him help all these little people, they all had a great time.




Happy Birthday to my Mom

This is my beautiful Mom with some of her grand kids on her special day. I sure love my Mom and appreciate all she does for me. She has taught me so much about life, I am lucky to have her in my life. I have always loved my Mom but boy I sure love her more now that I have my own kids and realize how much she actually did for me growing up. Being a Mom is a hard job and I think my Mom did a great job at being my Mom. Happy Birthday Mom I love you!


Jaxon's first time on the grass and he was not too sure about it.

Taya, Alyssa, Kynzee and Jaxon

The kids love to climb this tree!

Alyssa always asks to hold Jaxon, she loves him so much.
Auntie Katie with Jaxon, Jaxon loves his Auntie :)

Kynzee Kate

These kids are always teasing someone.


Jaxon was laughing at Rodger for no reason!! He was sitting on Katie's lap looking at him and laughed for the longest time it was hilarious. His cute little laugh is so contagious!

Cute little girls Kenna and Taya they call each other "Best Friends"

Daddy and Kynzee


Maddy and Pa Pa are always teasing each other! I don't know why Maddy always has to give me this look, she will wonder someday why she pulled this silly face in all her pictures.

Jaden trying to stay out of trouble

Maddy getting some wonderful sun :)
