Neighborhood Fun

I have said it before, but I will say it again. We live in the BEST neighborhood! The kids always have friends to play with and they all play so well together. Here is some pictures of fun they had over the summer.







BLOWING BUBBLES








Brynlee and Cayden decided to make the kids a treasure map. They hid their bikes at the end of the trails. They made one up for each boy.










These kids will spend every second of the day outside if I let them. I have to lure them in the house with homemade cookies in order to get them out of the sun.

Girls Camp 2011

I forgot to make a June post because I did not have any pictures of it, but it is something I want to remember. I was asked to be the ward director for Girls Camp for 2011 and 2012. After being in cub scouts for the past five years, this was quite a change for me. We went for a week and I have to say that my ward has a group of amazing girls. We had 19 girls who went and we had so much fun. I was quite nervous while preparing, especially when trying to figure out the menu and do the shopping, but everything worked out perfectly. It was a great experience and I learned a lot about the girls. I was also able to spend quite a bit of time with the young women leaders from my ward. It is an experience that I will cherish for a long time. I look forward to Girls Camp 2012!

July 2011 Happenings

In July 2011, Bryce worked really hard and gathered together 1,000 cans of food for the local baseball drive. He won the contest they were having so they presented him with an I-Pod touch. I was proud of him and how hard he worked.





Here are some more baseball pictures of Cayden. His team won 2nd place at this tournament.








Here are the boys after a day of baseball.





Nana Cindy took the boys bowling a couple of times over the summer. They are pretty funny to watch bowl. They just have so much fun. There is always a lot of giggling coming from our lane.



June 2011

I am terrible at taking pictures during my kids' sports events. Cayden had a baseball tournament in Evanston, WY and there were only two pictures taken.





This is what pictures look like after your cooler tips over with your camera in the outside pocket.




Shoshone Falls

We went to Shoshone Falls with nana and pappy Cornell in June 2011.


The first thing we saw when we stepped out of the car was this awesome snake.








Here are a bunch of pictures from our day.



















































The boys hiked up to the top of this trail. It was a lot steeper than the picture looks.








We had a great time with nana and pappy!







Gavyn's Hair Cut

When I walked into the bathroom and saw Gavyn cutting his hair, I decided to just let him have at it. He spent about ten minutes in the bathroom methodically cutting his hair and as soon as he was done, I got out the razor and I shaved off the rest of his hair.
