Camping at Fairview

Justin and Steph go camping at Fairview every year and invited us to come along this time.  I took the kids during the week while Josh stayed home to work.  We camped in the most beautiful spot and had such a fun time!  Here are the highlights of the trip.
We went on a 4-wheeler ride and a hike to where Justin scouts out his deer and elk.  There is a spot near the bottom of a canyon that he hikes down to and has cameras and a tree stand all set.  He wanted to go check on his stuff so we all loaded onto the 4-wheelers and went for a ride.  The kids LOVED riding and could not get enough!  On the way back Keen fell asleep.  Smashed between Hayley and I he stayed straight up just fell fast asleep.
 We had a pretty good hike ahead of us once we got to the point that the 4-wheelers couldn't go any farther.  The kids did great though and we saw lots of beautiful things along the way.
 I wanted to get a picture of Beck and me, then Keen joined us, then Canyon, then Aunt Hayley!
 Beck was the best boy and just couldn't get enough playing in the dirt.  He was a mess by the end of the week!

 That's what all the boys wanted to do was just play in the dirt and get as dirty as possible.  
 Are these really my girls looking so grown up and beautiful?

We were all laughing at Keen and his funny uni-brow of dirt.  Hilarious!
 Of course we roasted marshmallows and starbursts around the fire.

 I took one of our hammocks with us and we had fun relaxing and the kids took turns tying each other up!
 The last evening we were there we tried to get some pictures of the view we had from our camp.  The pictures don't show how beautiful it was, but we had fun playing with our camera and getting some fun pictures.
Thanks to Justin and Steph for inviting us!  We had such a fun time!

When you gotta go...

My boys are not shy about going to the bathroom anytime and anywhere.  I guess that's what makes being a boy so great.  The world is your bathroom!

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the best dad around!  We sure love this man in our life and feel so lucky that he gets to be the dad of our house.  These handsome boys get their good looks from their dad thank goodness and don't they all look smashing with their matching ties?  We couldn't love anyone more!  Happy Father's Day Daddy!

Hopkinson Amazing Race

Hayley and Caleb were in charge of their family reunion this year.  They decided to do an amazing race and asked if we would be able to help.  Rease, Rhen and I were a set of volunteers and got to be at a few different stations throughout the day.  It was such a fun activity and we loved being part of it!  The girls had a blast!

Family Pictures

My friend Amber takes the most beautiful pictures and I was so glad she agreed to take on our crazy family for our pictures.  We wanted to do them at our house so she came over one afternoon and spent a couple hours with us.  The pictures turned out so great.  Here are some of my favorites.  Enjoy!
