Camping Payson Lake

For my birthday this year all I wanted to do was go camping. It has been so long since we've gone, in fact the kids have never been. The kids did great, and except for a little rain, we had a blast.

It's amazing how kids can be entertained for hours just throwing rocks into a lake.

Of course the most favorite part of the trip had to be the yummy s'mores.

If you got some time and no money head to wheeler farm. My kids loved it, and did I say it's free. We debated on going to Lagoon or Cherry Hill which both cost quite a bit. We ended up at Wheeler Farm and my kids were just as happy. They loved seeing and feeding the animals. I was reminded that you don't have to spend a lot to have a great time with your family.

Our Family Pictures

Beautiful Sunday Drive

Today after conference we went on a beautiful drive up Skyline Drive and down Farmington Canyon. The Fall leaves were beautiful. Here are some of the pictures from our drive.

My Boy Has a Huge Noggin

I know, I'm the meanest mom ever. I had to take a picture of Mason's head stuck trying to reach for the broom. I couldn't figure out why he keeps getting his head stuck, until we went to the doctor's office today for his one year check up and got his stats.

Weight:21.6lbs 27%, Height: 28 1/4 8%, Head Circ.: 48cm 89%

Needless to say, my boys got one huge noggin.

Happy Birthday Mason

Happy Birthday sweet Mason. How fast they grow. I can't believe it's been a whole year since this sweet boy joined our family. He is such a joy. He walks around all day with a huge smile on his face. He always brightens my day. Here are some of my favorite pictures of him.

Cruisin the Caribbean

We just got back from a cruise in the Caribbean. It was so fun. We had a blast visiting Jamaica, Grand Caymans, and Cozumel. Dan's brother Nathan and his wife Marianne went with us. It was so fun to spend time with them and get to know them better. Thanks Mom, Julie, and Kim for watching our kids. I could totally relax knowing that they were in good hands.

They had to reverse out route to avoid the hurricanes. I was worried, but we had good weather the whole time. Every Island we stopped at was beautiful. Here are some of our pictures.
