Beaver Camping

Last weekend we went camping up the Beaver Mountains. We kinda had a rough start to the trip. Cory started his morning off by hitting a deer with his little pepsi truck but after a drug test in the afternoon we were off. The weather was great and it was so pretty!

The kids having a picnic

Taylor and Brecken are the best of friends. They have so much fun together!

Cory did some fishing in the creek. This little fish was a pet for a while but he caught a bigger one we cooked over the fire

We bought this game at Wally's world called ladder ball and it was so much fun! We had several little tournaments.

The best part was sittin around the camp fire and roasting marshmallow's. The food was fab and the company!

The trip home is a long story but an adventure... yes we made it home after 2 flat tires on the trailer between Beaver and the Panguitch exit, a trip back to Beaver to get new tires, and thanks to a truck drivers help!

Cruisin on Carnival

Well last week wasn't a regular week for us! We went on a vacation! It started last weekend after we dropped the kids off with Grandma and Grandpa and headed to California with Chad and Meladie Winters. First night we went to an Angels baseball game. It was pretty exciting with extra innings.

The next day we went to Knottsberry farm and road tons of rides and ate the best Chicken Dinner ever! This picture is Cory, Meladie and Chad soaked to the bone but I had to take the picture cause I didn't get wet at all! It was a blast!

The next morning we boarded the Carnival Cruise ship. Me and Meladie had this great idea to make shirts that said 10 year annivesary hoping that we would possibly get upgraded to a better room...well no upgrades but pretty cute! The boys were standing by each other on the ship and me and Meladie were away from them when someone turned to the boys and said "10 years huh way to go?" and Cory's like oh not us with our wives! ha ha the shirts soon came off!

We had a day at Catalina island so we just wondered around and did a little sight seeing. The Winters went snorkeling but we couldn't brave the freezing water!

The entertainment was great and the food was even better! We had a great get away and thanks to the Grandma's and Grandpa's for watchin the kids for us!

Schools OUT

My kids were so lucky to have such great teachers this year! Pacen went to 3 peaks preschool and his teacher was Mrs. Walker. He learned so much this year and loved every day he got to go!

This is his little class singing songs.

Jaxon had a great year also! His teacher was Mrs. Fuson and he had the best time in second grade thanks to her!

His class planted this tree outside of the school so it will be fun to see it grow through the years

Weekend Camping

This weekend we went to Yankee Meadows to do some camping, us and a million other people!!!

Thursday night we took our trailer to save a spot for the weekend. Only to come friday to a city of trailers from Nevada camped on top of us! So we pulled out of that spot and found an even better one that worked out for us!

The Boys had a blast! Brecken started the trip off right with a little dirt right on his head! How could you get mad at that face?


This is the Lake, we tried fishing a few times but not alot of luck, thats why its not called catching!!

Saturday the Winters fam and the Morris fam came up to spend the day with us! Other than it rained the whole time on and off, we managed to play a few games and eat a yummy dutch oven dinner.

The kids made a hut to get out of the rain.

We came home Saturday night and headed back Sunday afternoon to spend one more night which was really fun! Hope everyone had a great wet weekend!

Pacen turned 5

Happy #5 Birthday Pacen!!!!

Pacen had a Birthday on Monday and turned 5!! He is our second son and is such a fun little guy to have in our family!

Pacen and Jaxon have are pretty good friends

He's just grown up right in front of our eyes and now he's getting ready for Kindergarten

He loves to go camping and fish, color, put together puzzles and play with anyone that will play with him!

He's such a great little kid and we love him!!!

Pirates and Pizza

Saturday we took the kids to Pirate Island Pizza in St. George. It was a Pizza place kinda like Chuckie Cheese only Pirate themed. The pizza was really good and the kids loved how the place was decorated. All the workers were dressed like pirates and sometimes it sounded like it was raining and thundering.

Cory wore the pirate hat with the kids the whole time!

There was an arcade that you could buy tokens and play games to earn tickets. But of course no matter how much money you spend you never have enough tickets to get anything very cool.

Cory won big playing Deal or No Deal (with the pirate hat on). The weather was so nice down there, we went to the park after and got ice cream.
