Camping...

We finally were able to go on our family's first camping trip. We have been trying to go for the last few years, but never seemed to squeeze it in. We went to Rockport Resevoir up near Park City and had a lot of fun except for some foul mouthed neighbors who stayed up until at least 2:30, so not much sleep for the adults, but the kids slept great! We are so glad we were finally able to go!

8 New Posts...

I finally uploaded my new camera's software so I could get my pictures off it. So the next 8 posts are a catch up of our summer, in no particular order.

We had a lot of fun at G&G's house, but I forgot my camera charger so not much documentation...oh well.

The Zoo Again?..

I know you would think my kids would get tired of it, but they never do, so here we are once again...at the zoo!

A Day at the Park...

Wade has a bunch of cousins here in the Salt Lake area and we all (well at least the females) got together with our kids to play at the park for an afternoon. (2 Aunts, 7 moms, 12 kids)

Swimming Lessons (Anna)

This was Anna's first year of swimming lessons, and she cried a lot the first session, but she is doing much better session and it has done wonders for bathtime and the washing of the the hair process.


Right after getting dunked...she did not like this.

New Camera...

Wade decided to get a "graduation" present for me too...I guess because it was a hard 2 years for all involved. Anyways, its a Nikon D5000 and I have absolutely no idea how to use it, so I have been playing with it for the last few months trying to figure it out...I am getting a bit better, but I think I am just gonna have to take a class...oh well, hear are some of my "play" pictures...

I know these are way late and that they are hard to see, but you can click on the collage to see the pictures closer. I will try to be better about posting.

Graduation Day (Finally)...

So after 2 very long years, Wade graduated with his MBA at the U of U. We are all very glad to be done and to move on with life and we are very proud of our "Man of the House" and can't wait for him to reclaim his position in our home. Awesome job Wade, we love you so much!
