Picture Perfect Weekend











What a great weekend! The girls spent the night with Lola then Saturday we all met up in Park City. Aunt Linzi took the girls summer clothes shopping so they are now very glam. We had dinner and then played in the fountain, Luke was especially fond of this.

Sunday we went up Mirror Lake Highway. We stopped and played along Provo Falls the river was really raging. (Notice all my kids in orange this is going to be our standard hiking color from now on!) Next we headed up to the lake it still has quite a bit of ice on it. We played in the snow and threw rocks into the run off. This is my idea of good times. Lovin that all of this is so close to home.

Scary Camping Trip.

We took the trailer out on Wed. night for a quick trial run. It took forever to get things up and going when we finally got to the site things seemed to be going great. I left to go pay the camp host and make a few phone calls the girls were playing games in the camper and Brandon was working on the battery, he thought Luke was with the girls, after 10 min. he decided to check on the kids. And no Luke!! He sent the girls around to other sites and to the bathrooms while he took off on the hiking trail next to our spot. He was certain that Luke would take the easiest route the trail lead to a river which is never a good thing with a two year old. I got back 30 minutes later and Mia was at our site crying, Jada was on the trail searching with her Dad. I found out what was going on and headed the opposite way of Brandon yelling for Luke. After about 10-15 more minutes I decided to go ask the camp host to come help us. On the way over I heard faint crying I stopped and listened then took off up the hill following the crying. I found him by a fence under a big pine tree straight up the steepest mountain, he didn't take the easy route but blazed his own trail. So lesson learned must keep Luke in eye sight at all times but at least I know he likes to hike!

Dinosaurs Roar!






It finally feels like summer. (even though it snowed last week) We have started going someplace fun at least once a week. Here we are at the dinosaur museum the highlights included the erosion table, star room, and ice cream sundaes. My personal favorite was IKEA afterwards. We are lucky to have fun friends to explore and chill with. Can't wait for our next adventure.

The Greatest Piano Teacher!



Here are the pictures from the girls piano recital. They both did a wonderful job. Jada has been enjoying everything about the lessons she loves to practice and getting to see her Aunt each week. Mia doesn't enjoy practicing as much but once she learns a song she loves it. Thanks Alena for being such a good teacher. (Jada wasn't too happy about having her picture taken.)
