Campout

The annual Family Campout has been a tradition since my parents were dating. I have lots of camping memories as a little girl. Fishing, horse riding, four-wheeling, snipe hunting, camp fires, and good food! I think the last time I actually stayed I was probably about 15- maybe younger. Usually I just go up for the day and dinner. This time we decided to stay one night because Brooke begged. Both the kids loved it and once we got Cole to sleep they actually slept pretty good. I don't think Matt and I got any sleep though. Laying in a tent with two wiggle worms makes that a little hard. We came home really dirty and tired, but had a blast!

Cole's turn at baseball

Except he thinks it is golf :)

This was so cute... we were all sitting around the fire talking and the next thing we know Landon is standing about ten feet away peeing. Sorry Brie I had to post it!

Brooke's turn at baseball... I'm sorry daughter, you got your mother's genes!

Grandpa and Cole

Cole is a city boy... he much prefers the 4-wheelers to the horses. Grandpa will have to teach him.

A Boring Update

Lets face it, I have been a terrible blogger lately. But honestly, there just hasn't been much to blog about! For those who are interested here is what we have been up to:

• Since school got out in May, we have been staying at my parents in Logan. It is easier for us to just be here than for Matt to commute everyday. We miss our house and neighbors lots!!
• Looking forward to October! (Matt starts his job in SLC)
• Went on vacation to Las Vegas. Swam LOTS and saw the sights. Brooke ruined our camera by leaving it outside in window well in the rain so no pictures :( But so nice to get away and have a little break!
• The rest of the summer is pretty busy for us so hopefully I'll have lots to blog about from here on out :) Here are some upcoming activities we are looking forward to...

-Family campout this weekend
-Carrie & kids coming to visit for 3 weeks so hopefully lots of family time
-July 4th water baseball

Cole

• Will be 2 in about 3 months. I can't believe how fast time goes!
• Has decided that it is necessary to talk ALL the time. It is a competition with Brooke I think.
• Also decided to talk in sentences... that I usually only understand about 1/2 of!
• Loves playing hoops, trucks, babies (sorry Matt, but its true :)), jumping on the tramp, swinging, and swimming
• Says he doesn't like raspberries but will eat almost anything else
• Still working on potty training
• Always wants to ride the lawn mower
• Got his hair buzzed and looks just like Dad

Brooke

• Almost 3 1/2 and full of SASS!! She is her mother's child that is all I have to say.
• Is taking swimming lessons for the 2nd year and loves it
• Looks out for her little brother-- if she is playing with a friend she always makes sure he gets to play too, if she is doing something fun she makes sure to include him. I LOVE IT!
• Asks LOTS of questions about everything. She says it because that's how Heavenly Father made her.
• Spends most of her day playing with 5 puppies at the neighbors. 2 people have told me she should be a vet. She loves animals.
• Scared to death of the lawn mower
• Always wants someone to play with. Usually Macie or Bentlee

Bobbie

• Enjoying her summer. Doing nothing but running outside and hanging out!
• Decided to go back to work in Ogden for one more year. Hoping to do preschool in the near future
• Got a new diamond in her wedding ring and loves it.
• Working on stuff for Girls Camp in July. Doesn't feel old enough to be a leader but is excited!

Matt

• Finishing his final two classes for his Masters!
• Working lots
• Trying to put in our yard
• Playing baseball
• Celebrated his 26th birthday and Father's Day
