Fun with the Toone's
Every third Saturday we get together with the Toone's, and this time we went up to Riverdale to be with Clayton and Jenna. It was so wonderful! We rode Clayton's horses, played basketball and volleyball, went swimming, had a wonderful dinner, and just spent time together.
Island Park
Island Park is like Heaven on earth...something for everyone, it is absolutely beautiful, and there is no better thing then being with family. Brenden and Nathan absolutely loved fishing, going four wheeling, and being outside. Anilyssa always wanted to be outside every waking moment.
On our way
Best Friends fishing all day long.
Favorite names for their fish were... Brenden: Dinaco Nathan: Macaroni and Cheese
Nathan loves being with Dad. He is the dare devil on the four wheelers - full throttle, big hills, and doesn't like to go with Mom because it is not exciting enough.
Daddy's little Girl
Date Night at the PlayMill. We love going here when we get the chance to go to West Yellowstone. We saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels which was hilarious.
At the cabin with the Tingey's :)
The thing I really enjoyed thinking about while we were up there was that exactly five years ago Matt and I were there at that same time on a little get-a-way to find out if Brenden was a boy or a girl. Tomorrow we will find out whether we will be having another little boy or if numbers will be even and Anilyssa will be getting a sister. A lot of amazing things have happened in the last five years, and we have been so blessed!!

Girls Night Out
While the boys were playing at Father's and Sons, we decided to have our first girls night out. Anilyssa's personality is so funny and is starting to show more and more. We had fun running errands, getting dinner, and playing on the mattress in the family room.
"BIG BITE"
I love my princess
Ute gone Cougar (only in employment) :)
It was fun to take the kids and visit Aunt Emillie in her new coaching office at BYU.
Ensign Peak
We decided to start a new tradition this year that went amazingly well. For the first time we hiked Ensign Peak as a family. Matt and I did this while we were dating, but it was the first for the kids. Brenden's quote for the hike, "I won't quit, not one bit." Which led to Nathan's, "just resting. I won't quite." They actually hiked the entire way without even stopping. It was so much fun!! We looked for bugs and rocks, and got to talk about why ensign peak is so spectacular.
Brenden and Nathan will never forget the stories about Robert Taylor Burton and Adam Hunter. Just two of the amazing people we follow in our heritage, with many more faithful saints and examples.
Followed by visiting temple square - seeing the Christus, and watching the Joseph Smith movie. Then ending the night at the park where Matt first told me he loved me (Sept. 5, 2005), and where he later proposed (Oct. 15, 2005) to watch fireworks. It was a wonderful evening!!
I love seeing how much the kids love and adore Daddy
