Camping with Grandma and Grandpa

For Labor Day we decided to go camping at Greens Peak. It is so beautiful there. My parents joined us, and we had a fun/relaxing trip. We did alot of relaxing, some hiking around and Marcus did alot of chopping wood. He found a new talent. Thank you dad for teaching him. We also enjoyed a drive up Greens Peak (I did drive up, and it was scary.) The view was amazing, what a great place we live in. While we were up there some people were flying airplanes off the side of the peak. We watched for awhile, until it was obvious that we were annoying them, but they were pretty cool.


The kids on the edge of the Peak.


My parents, they are awesome!


On one of our hikes, Marcus was riding is bike around, so my mom decided to see if she could remember how to ride a bike. She actually looked like a pro. Way to go mom.

Long Time No Posts

Okay, Okay I know that I am long over due for posting. I really want to keep up on this blog, but it seems that I always find something else to do with time. Oh, where oh, where does the time go.

Olivia's Birthday

I can't believe Olivia is 6 years old. I am not sure what to do with her at times. She is in Kindergarten and loves it. She is loving her teacher and all of the friends she has. She really loves that she gets to play with her cousin Brooklyn at recess. We are so thankful for her and her smiley face (even if she is missing a tooth). We love you Olivia.

P.S. I made that cake and it turned out so cute. And it was super easy.

Pine-I forgot how much I love it there

We have not been to Pine since last summer, I forgot how much I love it! We spent the weekend relaxing and playing outside. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for providing this place for us.

Fossil Creek

During Spring break we went to Pine. While we were there we took the kids on a hike part of the way into Fossil Creek. It was a beautiful hike, someday I would like to complete the hike, (8 miles round trip). We really had a good time.
