Memorial Day Camping

We went camping in Idaho at Devil's Creek for the memorial day weekend. We got there right at dark on Friday night, So we grilled up some hot dogs and hamburgers that night and went to bed. This is Chris the next morning cooking us all breakfast. Yumm, Yumm!

Chris's parents let us borrow their trailer for the weekend. Thank you, thank you so much for that!! It fit our little family perfect! This is the kids eating their breakfast saturday morning.

Austin's best friend, Hunter, was there with his family. They were the only boys there over the age of 3! So they were glad to have each other. They played a lot of gameboy and playstation (when chris would let them turn on the generator)

There were 13 kids total and only 5 were boys, so the rest were girls ranging from 3 years old to 8 years old. They enjoyed collecting and "tending" fuzzy caterpillers. They had names for them all, and they all took turns watching and playing with them.

This is us eating dinner in the trailer Saturday night. It was a little cold to eat outside that night.

Brinley enjoying a smore around the fire that night!

Chris and his friend, Kyle, took a lot of the kids fishing down to the dam. Look how pretty it was!

Brinley and Chris fishing.

All that work and only 2 fish!! the kids enjoyed it though.

In the end we ended up with 4 fish! Good job boys!

Tuckered out girls on the way home.

Austin's Clogging Compeition

Austin had a clogging competition at Lagoon on Saturday. It was fun to see him do that. He is a GREAT clogger. He is front and Center. It was a hot day and I think he was a trooper being dressed in all black.

We did not ride rides, but the kids wanted to run through the fountain on the way out. Brinley only liked it when they we not working~

Austin and Taylee got Soaked!!

Is Taylee a little Melissa?

Taylee got her school pictures back yesterday. A lot of people think she looks like me when I was her age, so I decided to find my 1st grade picture and see. What do you think, is she a little Melissa?

Well, I think we have the same color of hair (except mine looks orange!), our hair is both curly (or mine is fuzzy), the same crazy non-combed bangs (how funny is that), freckles, and the same chin.

A Great Mother's Day!

My kids and I before church on Mother's day. They sang a primary song in sacrament. They did great!

My brother, Lance, my sister, Jaycee, my mom, Me, and my brother, Trapper.

My Brother Bryan lives in Texas, so he was not there that day. We missed him.

We saw Grandma Braegger and Grandma Grover (I did not get a picture of her though)

We celebrated Lance's 24th Birthday. It was saturday.

I had a very good mother's day. Thank you to my huspand & kids for making it very special to me. I love being their mom.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOM!!

This is my wonderful mom. She is always there for me and my family. My mom is always willing to help me out wheather I ask or not. She always knows when I am having a bad day, and she is always willing to let me cry on her shoulder, plus give advice (like all mom's do).
I really appreciate her and my dad. She has taught me a lot in my life. She taught me how to bake, even though she doesn't do it much now, she taught me how to shave my legs. That seems crazy, but I still shave my legs just like she does. I learned how to mop my kitchen floor on my hands and knees, just like she did, and I wash dishes in the sink the "left handed" way, just like her.
She has a nack for making her house feel "homey" and I love to go over there every Sunday, and just relax and feel like I am "home". She is a great friend and I love her. I love to go shopping with her and out to lunch. We don't do it much anymore, but I love it when we get the chance.
She is a great grandma! She loves my kids and they love her back even more. They are lucky to have a grandma like you!

Thanks for always being there for me mom. I love you so much and appreciate you and all the advice you give me. It means a lot to know that I am loved and mean a lot to you still.

Taylee's Cheerleading Competition

Taylee had her Cheerleading Competition on Saturday at Bear River High School, which was nice for us because it was in town! Here is Taylee after we finished making her hair and makeup beautiful!!

Taylee is a little performer. She loves cheerleading and dancing. She is one of the loudest cheerleaders, i think, so she is the one who says "READY"

Taylee is one of the smallest girls on the squad, so she gets to be a "flyer". The don't "fly" much at this age, but she gets to go up, and she loves it. Look at that smile!!

Taylee gets to be in the front in all the cheers and dances, which is nice for me to find her and to take pictures.

Taylee "flying"!! Her leg did get up where it was supose to go, I just did not get it on film! Look how Skinny her legs are!!

She did a great job! She said that I had tears in my eyes when I met her in the hall afterwards! She said that means she must of done really good to make me cry!!

Love you Tay!
