4th of July

Here are a couple pictures from our 4th of July camping excursion! We went camping up at Yankee Meadow again, but our coveted spot was taken. So we camped basically around the corner, which was fun too.

We drove up around Brianhead and stopped in on their 4th Celebration. We also hiked around a little bit...which is where this picture was taken.This is what the girls did after our little hike. We were driving back to camp, and I turned around and saw this! Cute kids...mean mom, I didn't help Teniah out! Oopps! The night of the 4th we drove down to Parowan to see the fireworks there. We had a blast hanging out with family, eating good food and watching awesome fireworks!

Kierstin wasn't too sure about the whole fireworks. At first she was really quite afraid. Then she was amazed! Then she grew tired of them all together and just wanted to run around!

Hello world!

I feel like I haven't been blogging for a while, and ahhh, I haven't!! We have had a whirl wind of events take place lately, most good, but a few sad too. First off, Robert's Grandpa got an aneurysm in his leg and ended up having to have it amputated. We made a few trips to St. George while he was recovering and to keep his spirits up. We went camping again for the 4th of July, up at the same place. I'll give more details on that when I post my pictures from the trip. I have been busy around the house, trying to get my garden to grow and keeping up with the daily grind of things. We went to the July Jamboree...had so much fun drooling over the cars! Sweet '69 Mustang of my dreams! And, I lost my camera! I had looked every where in the house, coming up empty handed, because I didn't have my camera. So that is the MAIN reason that I haven't been blogging, I can't find my camera!!

P.S. Since I first wrote this ( I forgot to post it!), I have since found my camera, safely in the car, but I found it!!! So pictures are coming soon!!!!

Camping for Father's Day

We went camping this last weekend for Father's Day. We had planned on going to Yankee Meadow, thinking that it wouldn't be very busy, but we were wrong. There were only a couple of camping sites open, and they of course, were the worst ones. Discouraged we headed back home, and on a last ditch effort made a turn on the road. We found this....

We had the whole lake to ourselves. (Well, as you can see, there is another person in the shot, it isn't Robert, but some random guy who thought he'd come fishing in a lake with no fish!) It was awesome!! We had so much fun. We had a fire, made s'mores, roasted hot dogs, went on a hike,

and Teniah learned to pee in the wild. We had such a blast!!

Here is the girls on the hike. They had a blast! Of course Kierstin got carried the whole way, but we all had a good time! When Robert was holding Kierstin, this was all that she wanted to do, drink from his camel back!

Sweet Sisters!

Robert noticed that the girls were being very quiet, so he went to investigate...

Here's what he found!!Such sweet sisters!!

A day Outdoors

About a week ago, we decided to go for a hike up Cedar Mtn. We were planning on hiking some caves up there, but alas, they were locked and gated...not the season yet. So we walked around a little and had a picnic in the most beautiful meadow.
Kierstin was little "Miss Independent" and didn't want anyone to help her walk around. She ended up very dirty, but no tears were shed!

We had a very beautiful day!
