A Camping We Will Go...

We found a super cute little camp ground up at Bear Lake & decided to squeeze in one last little outing before the weather really started getting cold. We kept busy with a trip to North Beach, the Bear Lake Pizza CO., exploring around our campsite, reading books & enjoying campfires. It was the perfect way to end our summer!

It's Official

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Scott Lewis..

Enjoy a few pictures from this weekends celebration..

Welcome to the family Ashley! As you can see from the picture of Scott, he is such a goof! We are happy that you two found each other!

Here Comes The...Bride?

Some of you may know that my brother is getting married this weekend! I am so excited for Ashley to become part of our crazy family. We all love her & are so happy for both of them.

The boys came along with me to her bridal shower. At first I was thinking they would be bored out of their mind. Come to find out, there were plenty of kids there & they even got to join in the fun. The boys were chosen to sport the famous toilet paper wedding gowns. All of the little girls broke up into two teams with one adult leader. The boys had to stand there while these little girls created their gowns. They were so embarrassed at first, but by they end they were cracking up with the rest of us. I am glad they were good sports about it!

How do you tire out kids?

We wanted take the kids to the Drive In to see Toy Story 3. We wanted to make sure the boys stayed awake for it, so we came up with a plan.

1. Take the kids to Lagoon the night before and stay till closing.

2. Wake the kids up early the next morning, and make them hike for just over 4 hours.

3. Make them take a nap for a few hours before the drive in.

4. Enjoy the drive in!

Our plan worked! The boys LOVED the movie, and so did we. I was hoping to get pictures of all of the activities listed above, but hiking is all I had our camera for. If you are wondering who is who, just look for the kid who is not smiling in ANY of the pictures. That is Isaac. His poor mouth was full of canker sores.

My first 5K

Thanks for everyone who came out to watch! Just a few months and hopefully I can add a half marathon to this list.

Trout, Cookies & a Cupcake!

The boys went on a field trip today to a local fish farm! It was the cutest little place & the kids had a total blast. The only downfall was the weather. It rained the entire time..not SPRINKLED but POURED. It was so wet, so cold & it made for a bunch of sad little kids towards the end. We were there for roughly 3 hours. Each kid got to catch a fish, eat & play bingo. Even though all of the kids were frozen by the time they loaded the bus, they still talked about how much fun they had fishing.

This bottom one cracks me up...my kids are really in the picture, I promise. See if you can find them! It took me a minute!

After the field trip the boys got to go back to school and celebrate their birthday a month early. They took cupcakes & cookies for their treat. They had so much fun & it was great to see how good they were at saying "your welcome" and how they wanted to give Mrs. Hepner her treats first. Adorable. I can't believe in one month they will be six!

It is Time

I have been SLACKING on my training for the half marathon I plan on running in October. So..I started again today. I just ran 3 miles & it kicked my booty! I think I may try to keep track of everything on here. Maybe with me doing so, I know I can't slack because some of you may keep me on my toes!

The plan for this week..run 3 miles 5 times. :)

Come on Summer!

With the weather being so beautiful here & no plans Monday night, we decided to set up our new tent outside. For those of you who do not know, we picked up camping last year & we love everything about it. This tent was a gift given to us this past Christmas and it is HUGE! We are so excited for the extra room. In fact, the boys were playing hide & seek in it. Pretty funny to watch, actually :) Now we just need summer to get here!

And just to show what the four of us were using last year..

Our awesome 2 man tent. It was great to us..but so glad we have more room this year!

Bring It

Soccer has started again..I love this picture. The boys team won the first game of the season!

For those of you who know me well, this card could not be more fitting. I had to share.
