Our ward Camp Out-Day Two

Nathan and Vii went and played in the water for a little bit. Originally it was to wash Nathan off because he was so dirty.
Then Nathan liked it so they played for a little bit.
We took a family picture by this really cool stump that Vii wanted to bring home with us. We didn't but I bet Vii would have. After we left camp we stopped at the local Monastery and had a picnic and hung out with some friends from the ward. Then we went into the store and bought some homemade honey and jam. It was pretty cool. As soon as we got back in the car Nathan fell right to sleep. He was so exhausted.

Our Ward Camp Out-Day One

Our ward had our Annual Ward camp on August 13th. We went up earlier this year. It was so much fun. We camped out by Huntsville, UT. The weather was great. We got the perfect spot to set the tent up. The little stream ran right behind the tent.

A bunch of us went to the reservoir and played in the water, Canoeing or just to watch. It was a nice little spot that was real calm. We had a blast canoeing. Nathan sat on the bottom of the canoe and put his hand out and played in the water while we went around the reservoir. After we were done in the canoe we sat on the bank and just watched. Nathan just wanted to play with the rocks and climb on the hill. He has no fear. Next thing we new he was almost to the top of the hill.Then went back to camp and had dinner and played games. Vii played ladder ball and nathan ran around playing with all the kids.
Then we all sat around the campfire and told jokes and just hung out. Nathan fell asleep on Vii's lap. He was so tired.

Just a cool picture

When we were in Colorado we went to one of my mom's cousin's
house and they had this old tractor on the side of the house. I took the first picture and thought it looked cool. Then I played with my camera a little and the sun setting made the picture look awesome. I thought these would look awesome blown up and framed.

Just wanted to share these cool pictures

Listening to stories of old

On Friday when the guys wanted to get a pre-golf tournament game in so we (Donna, Mom, Nathan and I) went to visit my grandmothers two sisters. It was so much fun to sit and listen to stories of my grandma and my grandpa. I can not believe how much they remember and the details of what they remember. I enjoyed being their and visiting with them. This makes me think of what my kids will want to know about me and what I should talk to them about now.

Colorado trip

We took a road trip to Colorado to see some of my Mom's side of the Family. They had a golf tournament so we were definetly going. We had fun and Nathan did pretty good on the road.

We were just getting into Denver when I took this picture. Here are some of the sights:

The Stadium

Magic Mountain

Just so you know we did not intentionally hurt any of these bugs that have left marks on our windshield.

You can still see some of the SPLATS! on the window.

Camping out at G-Pa and G-Ma's

I wanted to go camping but I knew Vii had to work so we decided to go to G-Pa and G-Ma's and go Camp in the backyard. Jonah, Caleb and Logan came to. Yipee! Logan went home early so it was just Jonah and Caleb. Well it was a good idea and we had fun but only Nathan and I were awake to actually fall asleep in the tent. I carried Jonah and Caleb out there so they could sleep in the tent.

Sometime in the middle of the night it rained and the only thing that got wet was the bed I was sleeping on. The cover on the tent came up so my feet got wet. I got down and slept next to Nathan and Caleb. Then we got another surprise, Vii joined us around 4 in the morning. He got off early so he got to camp with us for a little bit.

In the morning when the Caleb woke up he was a little confused on how he got in the tent but he was excited.

Happy Mother's Day

Well for Mother's day this year we had French toast, Fresh strawberries and Fruit smoothies. Nathan helped make alsmost all of it. He helped me put the bread in the egg mixture and then helped flipped some of them. We made sure we had it all done by the time Dad got home from work. We had a lot of fun making it. I know I should have waited for Vii to fix me breakfast in bed, but I love to surprise him when he gets off work with something yummy.

Just wanted to thank all the Mother's out their that have been a good example for me and have taught me what I know now. You guys all rock. This world would not be the same with out you.

Just a little note: I love collecting children's books and one that I just barely got is called "Mars needs MOMS!" by Berkeley Breathed. So I started to read it to my Preschool class and I could not finish the book because I started to get choked up. Great book.
