Camping fun!

Thought I would share some pics from our last camping trip. We went to the Manti Pageant on Thursday. The kids behaved so well. I wish I would have gotten a picture of the kids with some of the actors but you know me, my mind is always on food so I went with my sisters to find some grub.
Outside the cabin Kevin's grandma keeps these hummingbird feeders filled and at one point we counted 12 of them. Danika wanted to see if one would land on her finger. One did just for a brief moment but it was too fast and I couldn't catch a picture in time.The kids loved to go on the trails around and feed the fish.Kevin took his BB gun and we shot at pop cans. I love to shoot, it reminds me of my Dad. He build a metal target catcher thing while I was growing up so we could go to the garage and practice shooting. Of course there was time to just hang out inside and be silly!On our way back on Saturday we stopped at my Bros in Herriman where we had a family lunch. We all headed to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. Here is a picture of my Twin sister (who's expecting her fourth woo hoo) and her family. And a group picture. We had a great time. As the fourth is coming up I hope you all have a fabulous Independence Day! What a wonderful country we live in!

Wet Sloppy Kisses

BriLynn is feeling better which is good since we are leaving tomorrow to go camping. Can you really call it camping if it's at a cabin? Anyway, I wanted to share this video of BriLynn giving kisses. I wanted to get a picture but the camera was already on recording.

Precious Moments

Do you remember when you were little? I remember thinking that time was soooooo slow. It would take forever to be grown up. In Elementary school the days seemed like years. High school flew by and college was even faster. I know the precious moments with my little ones will go by so quickly. Tonight BriLynn got a fever and so I sat and rocked her. I know this precious child will soon be grown and gone. It's hard to imagine but for now I'll relish in the moment. As we rocked slowly back and forth my baby girl and me.

Bad Hair Day

So I'm sure you all have had a bad hair cut or color at one point. So let me hear your stories! I just went to the beauty college on Saturday and the girl felt bad as she accidentally gave me a blond Mohawk. I just went for some highlights. They got it fixed okay but it's still pretty blond on the top. If you see me and think it's bad just tell me it looks great to make me feel better okay he he. So any horror stories? I wanna hear them!

FOOD FRENZY FRIDAY

I haven't done one of these for awhile. I recently made this and Kevin rated it a 9-10. We really enjoyed it plus it's quite easy. Let me know if you try it out.

Can you say Allergies?

Our poor Lukie has the worst allergies of all our kids. Last year was really bad while we were in Missouri. Here is a sad little picture of him. He has such a sad face. Can you see the puffiness around his eye?Now look a little closer to his eyes. They look like they have huge blisters right on the eye. You can really see it on the right. Ouch! Do your kids have allergies? Is there something specific you use? I've used Claritin and Benadryl. If you know of something that really works let me know. Benadryl just gives him an hour of relief, poor kid.

Play Ball!

Today was Andrew and Danika's first day at Coaches Pitch. Kevin volunteered to be a helper this year. He would have signed up to be the coach but I need his help to watch the three other little ones not playing. Their coach is great and very energetic. Here are some pictures we took. They are the Cincinnati Reds


Andrew is really good. I know he will be playing this more as he gets older. He just has a knack for it. He was hitting balls overhand when he was four.
I also wanted to post this picture of BriLynn, she has enjoyed sucking on her binky the wrong way....silly girl.
