Ward Campout

One of the only pictures I have of Todd and I together. This could be among the last photo's you see of Todd with his four eyes. He's getting a MAJOR BIG Christmas and B-day present this year!

This last weekend our ward had their FIRST annual ward campout. Our family didn't spend the night but we went up for dinner Friday and enjoyed the program and fresh air that Kolob can provide! I just wanted to post some pictures and this awesome "Rayn Dance" video that the Primary provided for entertainment (and it was entertaining!) Payton loves to dance but his style is usually more of a break dance style. This hip hop routine was a bit much for him but I'm so glad he at least tried!

Father 'n Sons

Todd decided he was going to take the boys to father and sons this year. I was TOTALLY for it!

The boys were so excited to go camping with their dad!

They had to wash their hands and faces before they could go...I'm not sure why

Julia was not at all happy they weren't taking her--ok so she was just ticked I sat her down so I could take a picture.

Todd took my challenge of taking at least one picture. He surprised me and took these!

(Brace yourselves-- These are dirty photo's!)

I should have taken a picture of the dirt monsters when they came home but I was more concerned about what they were touching and where they were sitting to pull out the camera. I did have a nice pile of dirt and rocks on my floor where they took their shoes off. Yeah for camping, the great outdoors and of course Daddy's!

Labor Day Weekend

Sunday was our first time at our new church so we decided to go instead of go camping on Cedar Mountain with the rest of my family on Saturday. (Actually it was supposed to rain Saturday and Sunday so Todd wasn't really into going camping in the mud). After our church meetings we made the spare of the moment decision to head to the mountain for the night and spend Monday there. It was so fun and the kids had a ball...even though their mom forgot their jackets laying on the bed (oops). The boys rode 4-wheelers every chance they got. I can't believe I didn't take a picture of them on the 4-wheelers because that's really where they spent most of their time. We did go to the caves on Monday and let the kids hike through. Tiff was a trooper and took Porter through one of the smaller (not so accessible for pregnant folk) caves. She had to put up with the constant crying and "I can't make it" sobs. Thanks for the great memories, Tiff. I'm glad we spent the day there...it beats cleaning the house!
