Camping!

We went to a family reunion campout and had so much fun! Our kids were so excited about sleeping in a tent. I think it's the only time that Adelia ever asks to go to bed.

We got lost on the way which seems to be about as annual of a tradition as the campout itself but once we got there everything was great!

Island Park/Yellowstone

Here are some pictures from our little trip to Island Park & Yellowstone. Unfortunately Andrew wasn't with us because he just started a new job (fortunately!) and couldn't take time off.

Here's Tucker eating his first smore. He loved it! We always ate inside because there were SO many mosquitos.

This is Adelia and I waiting for Old Faithful. It rained on us so much! We were completely drenched by the time we actually got to see it. Grandma was in the car with Tucker while he was napping and the rest of the family was walking through the trails. It's a fun memory though!

Tucker loved walking everywhere. He was a little trooper. I couldn't believe how independent he would be for so long!

I think that Adelia's favorite part was canoeing. She had her own little brown paddle. We saw fish, a muskrat, birds, and a moose!

Memorial Day Hike

Taking a break!

Birthday Girl

Here's Adelia on her special day!

Birthday Cake

So Andrew and I recently discovered how much we are NOT cake connoisseurs. I realize that my biggest problem is the frequency of my cake-making attempts. I only try at birthdays and if you take in to account that we have four people in our family and that Andrew makes the cake for my birthday, that leaves three times a year. This is not often enough to create a skill. Here are some pictures of our efforts. It turned out ok if you don't mind that it could double as a bowl for the ice cream because it sunk so much! Anyway- I am determined to make cakes more often, which I am sure my family will not mind.

My Awesome Young Women

These are some of the teenage girls I work with at church. They are so fun! I love them so much. Our ward (congregation) is so diverse and I love getting to know more about other cultures.

Surprise!

This little frog greeted me as I was straightening up the other day. It is in a block in Tucker's shoe. It made me laugh so much. You just never know what to expect when you have toddlers.

Our Pretend Headboard

I was pretty proud of how this turned out so I thought I would take a picture. We didn't have a headboard so I cut these out of vinyl and just put them on our wall. However, we just got a hand-me-down headboard so this pretend one had a short life! -Andrew just read this post and thought I should point out that I cutted them with a Cricut machine not with scissors:)
