Tenderfoot

Jacob received his Tenderfoot in Scouts! I am so proud of him! (And I love the fact that he is hugging me and smiling!) Congrats Jacob on a job well done!

Space invader!

When Brian is gone, I will let Evan come in and sleep by me, but that may have to end soon.... I have found out that I have a space invading son! (I have been told by Brian that I do the same thing, but there will be no comment at this time.)

In this picture, I did not get out of the left side of the bed... I got out of the right side... I think I was sleeping on the pillows alone! Good thing I love that cute kid!

Camping/ Fishing trip

Our family met Brian's older brother and his 2 girls and Brian's older sister and her family up at Whiterocks campground in Utah. I was a little apprehensive about going at first with there only being outdoor restrooms and no cell phone/internet access, but I went in with a good attitude and ended up having a great trip! I had forgotten my camera, so all of these pictures were taken with my phone... (I guess I did get to use my phone for something after all this week!)

Love seeing Brian and Jacob in their fishing gear! They went fishing every day with Brian's brother Gerald and had such a great time. (Wish I would have gotten a picture with Gerald in it too!)

The kids in something that started out as a fort, but ended up being a teepee after Brian helped them string some branches up. The kids played in there a ton! We also played alot of games and went in the river too!

Nothing tastes better than a good hot breakfast in the morning when you have been camping! Gerald brought his propane grill and the men cooked up a mean mountain man breakfast!

One day we all went fishing at a nearby pond. I think almost everyone caught a fish and the cousins had so much fun catching them, reeling them in and letting them go.

Cousins catching fish... Love some of the looks on their faces!

 

The weather was just gorgeous that day! Just look at the beautiful blue sky! Absolutely love the picture of Evan sitting by the pond with the reflection in the water...

Pinewood derby for girls?

Why not??? Courtney was super excited to make a car to race in the first ever Girls Pinewood Derby! Daddy let her pick out the color and what she wanted it to look like. Her car turned out so cute that she won a prize for "The Most Girly!" She also won first place over all!

A night at the Rio

My sister won a great contest! It let her and 25 of her friends come and eat at the Rio Grande in Denver for free! It was like a party and I got to meet alot of her friends that I normally wouldn't have gotten a chance to meet. It was a fun night! Thanks Leah for letting me be one of the 25!
