Growing Butterflies

The coolest present ever... at Target they sell a kit with a cage and a voucher for 5 caterpillars. They mail you the caterpillars and you watch them grow and make chrysalids and then move the chrysalids into a cage and they come out as butterflies. These are pictures of my kids letting their butterflies go.

Stewart Falls

I think EVERYONE in Utah had the same idea, "Let's go hike Stewart Falls on Labor Day". Crowded- but beautiful! I love the mountains.

KATELYN'S 4th B-DAY

Katelyn just wanted a Pinata for her B-Day!! I guess lots of candy is all that matters to a 4 year old.

First Day of School

I LOVE this time of year... first day of school. My kids were so excited to start school. Katelyn thinks preschool should be everyday. McKenzie, in Kindergarten, rode the bus the first day of school without hesitations. She counted down the days until Kindergarten testing days were over. Aubrielle is elated that she has her cousin Spencer in her 2nd grade class. Braden is loving his 4th grade teacher that has "journeys" (field trips) every Wednesday. Mom is enjoying a little time to "breathe".

LAKE POWELL

Our annual Lake Powell trip. It never seems to get old. EVERYONE loves it!

JULY 4TH

PARADES, SWIMMING, BBQ WITH YOUR FAMILY, FIREWORKS ON A COUCH, ROOTBEER FLOATS... WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?

Adam's Canyon

This hike is 10 minutes away from our home in Kaysville! It is beautiful. For my birthday, my whole family hiked 3.5 miles round trip to this waterfall. My kids all came away with scratches BUT they made it. TOUGH FAMILY!!
