Father Son Campout

Josh took the older boys on the annual stake father/son camp out. Adam and Zachary were really looking forward to going camping they were really excited about sleeping in the sleeping bags, thee fire building, and of course bring their double barrel shot guns. They were the invy of the campout. Adam needed someone to shoot so he found some teenager boys and got them.

Poor Josh had the worst night of not sleeping ever. However the boys slept like a couple of rocks. I remember when camping ment sleeping deep and waking early. Those were the day.....

While they guys were away I got together with a friend and we got pedicures. I really enjoyed getting pampered a little bit.

Birthday Time

It is the beginning of May which means it is me time. My birthday, anniversary, and mother's day all happen with in a week of each other. It is great. Josh and I usually go out for a nice dinner and enjoy some adtult time. This year we got a baby sitter (that is great with infants) and we went to P.F. Changs, a very safe main stream resturant that wouldn't cause food poison. After our last experience we weren't taking any chances. My actuall biftheay was very nice we had a little family celebration. Josh brought home flowers and a card for the boys to give to me, a friend brought over boston market, we had cookie cake for desert and I got to open a few gifts. The boys were very excited to help me unwrap the boxes.

For mother's day Josh came with me to Mormon Prom a huge event that several stakes put on. This really wasn't what Josh would pick to do to spend his time so when another couple invited us to go with them to dinner we ditched the dance and with them. We had a very nice time visiting with them and getting to know another couple in our stake better. It was really nice to have some adult time and relax a little bit.

First Hike

This last Saturday was absolutly georgious sunny and about 70 degrees so we gathered up (it took a while to finnally get out) and went to our favorite stae park. We got down to the river where Adam and Zachary had a great time putting sticks into the water and hopping from rock to rock. Zachary found a little pool of water and proceeded stiring it with his special stick and put leaves and seed in it. then I looked over to see him lick his stick. I asked him what he was doing and he told me "I'm tasting my soup mom". Of course that is what you are doing. andrew did great on his first hike. Daddy worked his magic and got Andrew asleep in the front pack. We really enjoyed our hike as a family.

When we got home we had a cook out and built a fire in our new fire pit, roasted marshmellows, played soccer with daddy and jumped on the trampoline. I love the Spring.
