The girls making up a dance to a Taylor Swift song, I know that you all know the words since were heard it 579 times ..."she wears short skirt I were t-shirts" I dare you not so sing those word in you head





And some much needed rest...ZZZZ




4-Wheeler rides (I had Josie and Audrey with me and when we took as short-cut Josie was so excited and Audrey asked if we were aloud to do that)

We had a great time in Fishlake...
excellent food
great one liners "eww this lake stinks I can smell the trash fish" and "that wasn't a chipmunk it was a fairy-dog"
very little sleep
great company!

This is what summer is all about!!


Camping


We finally made it camping this summer, and we had a great time. We went up 12 mile canyon and did more fishing than we have done in years. It was fun becasue they were actually biting, well they were biting for everyone else. Each of the kids got to reel in a fish so they were satisfied. If you look at the pictures Emma and C.J. are both in their underwear. They were getting board and wanted to play in the water so i let them strip down and play the problem was whey they got out they each had these tiny leeches on their feet, it was pretty creepy.


One of my favorite part of camping is making s'mores. I am very particular I will only make them with Jet Puff marshmallows, Hershey's chocolate, and Honey Made graham crackers, i'm wierd, but it is tradition for me and they are sooo yummy, I think that they kids enjoy them too.
It was so relaxing to me in the mountains and get away from it all. It is so green and a ton of wildflowers I truly enjoy caming, and it is definatly better with a trailer.

It's Hot Outside

This is how we have been keeping cool. Last week we spent the day at the Salina Pool. It was a lot of fun. There is nothing like an out door pool on a 100+ day. The kids swam for hours, I think that this is one of the only ways to actually enjoy this heat. It was so fun to have Shayla, Emily, and Taylor go with us.


We also went the Sand Hollow a few weeks ago. It was kind of windy so the skiing and wake boarding weren't the best but after missing a summer of being on the lake we were ready for some fun. The kids just loved jumping out of the boat while we were in the middle and swimming around, Madison even said that she was ready to learn to ski, but we need to find some small ski's first. Thanks to the Rasmussen Family for letting us come and spend the weekend with them, we need to do it again soon.

4th of July


Here are just of few of the pictures we took on the 3rd and 4th of July.

On the 3rd we always have a Primary Parade. In our ward we decorated bikes and painted faces. It was a lot of fun. On the 4th we went to the Parade and then headed up to Fishlake where my nephew Joshua was baptized. It was such a neat experience. While we were at Fishlake it started to rain and then hail. When we finally left there was about 2 inches of hail/snow on our car. Talk about two extremes in one day. It went for 95-41 on the same day, it was crazy. We ended the day with fireworks and ice cream. What a fabulous holiday.
