Sophie's first haircut!

My Dad cut the kids hair and I had him cut Sophie's ponytail mullet too! She did so good and it looks so much better! Hopefully it will start to grow more, here's to wishful thinking! :)

Kolob

We went up to Kolob and went camping for a few days, fishing, hiking and riding the 4-wheeler and bike. It was perfect weather and nice to get away from it all! The best part of camping in the food right? And boy did we eat, tin foil dinners, dutch oven dinners, smores, banana boats, sandwiches and loads of treats. The kids had so much fun wondering around exploring and eating smarshmellows as they call em at every meal, and TJ loved being away from work, and as for me well, camping is a lot of work for Moms but I did get a nap and we made some fun memories! The last morning we planned on waking up and packing up, Sophie woke up first and starting chatting and then started bonking our heads saying up up up upppppp! Then she started jumping up and down. We all started laughing and of course got up! :) She loved sitting on the step into the trailer to eat, put her shoes on or bang on the door, and would say HOT every time we started a fire. It was so cute because it was more like HHHHOOOOT! She is picking up on a lot of words lately and loves playing with the kids. I think she missed having a phone while we were up there too! It was nice to get away for while but oh it's sure nice to come home and shower, and a have a toilet to poop on Brielle said!!!! Enjoy the large quantity of photo's! :)

Magic Show

TJ won tickets to a magic show but had to work so the kids and I went and it was really fun! I even was chosen as an assistant! Our family must have a assistant look to us! :) Here are some pictures of the kids before we left, obviously it is impossible to get all three of them to look at me, not even a worth photo-shoping one, but Hunter and Brielle never have a problem posing for the camera!

Grandpa Doug

This weekend has been full of laughs! My Dad bought his first truck for himself, he has always driven my Moms hand me downs. It was also TJs Dad's last new car sale too since starting Tuesday they will only be selling used, my Dad thought it was cool and has had a non-stop grin, he loves his truck! Then for awhile now I told my Dad once he got out of school I wanted to color and shave his mustache so we did and we all had some laughs! The first thing I thought of the colored mustache was Blart from Mall Cop, I think he looks so much younger with it shaved!! We love you Dad thanks for always making us laugh! My Mom put my friends hair extensions in and looked like Joe Dirt so my parents left looking like the picture to see their friend and said this was their St. George disguise, they looked so funny! What do you think Ash?!!!!? Can't wait to see you next month!

Pinevalley Dinner

Every year our electric company hosts a meeting/dinner with fun things to do and prizes, this year they split up the divisions but we still wanted to go up to Pinevalley, Grandpa Bentley went with us and I am so glad he did! We have so much family around that we see him often but don't get the chance to really spend quality time with him. We had a blast at the dinner and Grandpa cleaned house and won two prizes! Hunter and Brielle loved playing by the creek and crawling on the log from side to side. Sophie enjoyed her huge cookie and new found favorite rootbeer and was a big dirt clod by the time the night was over. Afterward we went to the cabin to check on things and while TJ mowed the lawn Grandpa showed the kids how to pull rhubarb and then walked around the property telling us stories. He mentioned a few things that needed to be done too (anyone wanna help us Sunday wink wink!) We love him so much and will cherish these fun memories.
