Ward Campout





This last weekend we had a lot of fun camping with our ward family. The boys love to play in the fire and be outside with a reason to get dirty, eat marshmallows and cook food on the fire. Plus throwing the football around and play horseshoes is fun too. I think the hightlight of the night was when Troy discovered Payton to excited to sleep and when Troy told him to go to sleep he replied,"It's so beautiful in here!" Our boys love camping but they also love going to bed and sleeping in a tent. Jackson got to build a tree fort and had fun putting sticks and pine needles on the fire. Spencer got sting by a bee but had fun still playing with friends and eating junk food. Payton pulled the whole jug of water down on his head about 30 minutes after we got there so he has a few scabs from that -- but still had fun in the marshmallow wars and even managed to eat a few. We even got to see a real taranchala and I snapped a picture. They were sad to see us taking down the tent to go home. We got a little rain but not enough to spoil the fun. Camping and kids equals lots of work but loads of fun and laughs. We can't wait for next year!!!

Jackson Turns 7



Jackson just had his 7th birthday! he is quite the thinker these days. He loves to learn about sharks and anything really. He is really excited about Lego Indiana Jones and Legos and Backagans right now which is fun to see. He is getting too tall for all of his pants that he got at Christmas and I tease him that he needs to stop growing for a while. He says the funniest things and is comfortable jumping into any conversation that happens around him. I think he is a very entertaining kid and I love him so much. He tries hard to to what is right and works hard to make good decisions.

Happy Birthday buddy -- We love you!!!
