Father and Son’s Ward Campout

David got home from the Philippines 2 days before Father and Son’s.  The boys were SOOO excited when they heard about this in church.  They were counting down the days!  They went with hot dogs to roast, s’mores to enjoy, baseball and mitts, Cameron’s chess board and everything they would need for one night!  They had a great time!  They couldn’t wait to share the news and called on the ride home the next day to tell me all about it.  I loved it!  They went to Bennion Campground up Spanish Fork Canyon.

When Cameron saw the boys swinging into the lake he had to try it.  Cameron is afraid of a lot of things.  Water is not one of them!  The water was FREEZING!!

I asked David why he wasn’t in any of the pictures.  He said he just wasn’t one of those guys to ask for someone to take a picture.  I let him know that next time he better take pictures with him and his boys!  He agreed after looking back at them.  So glad they could go.  The boys are at the perfect age.  They soak all of this stuff up!!

The girls and I ate ourselves sick with candy and treats and watched a couple of movies!  It was fun, but I was very tired.  I think I fell asleep through the first movie (A Barbie Secret) and in the middle of the second (Secretariat) we called it a night and ditched the idea to sleep on the floor in the living room and had a slumber party in my bed.  A lot more comfortable!

Father's and son's is such a hilight for Hunter too. I remember my brother's always loving it and us girls loved it when they went because all the goodies came out:) I love that you all slept in your bed rather than the floor, good choice.

The church was definitely inspired with Father & Sons. I think it's every boys (and Dad's) dream trip for the year. I think it's cute how you had the night with the girls. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the preschool experience with Alyssa. I'm trying it next year with Jhett!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
