Samantha's First Day of Second Grade

Second Grade?!?! How can that be??? I remember dropping her off for Kindergarten like.... yesterday!! :)

Hiking - Silver Lake

Ashley and David told us about this cool little hike up at Brighton, so we took the kids out for some much needed 'outdoor' time.

Niko was in a very rare 'camera pose' mood. I had to take full advantage.

The last picture of Niko looking into the water was great. There was a dead fish floating on the top and he looked up and announced it to everyone "Hey! Dead fish!" and then said, "I guess someone must have shot it," as if that could be the only cause of death! LOL. that kid is hilarious!

Salt Lake County Fair - 2009

Time for our annual trip to the county fair with Ashley, David and Dallin!!
Nothing spells fun like petting zoos, riding a pony, smelly cows and carnival rides!

Good times!!

Snowbird Bluegrass Day Camp

So the kids got signed up for this three day camp up at Snowbird, there was an actual bluegrass band that goes there and works with the kids, teaching them songs and how to play the different instruments. So on day three there was a recital that we were invited to, to see all they had learned. It was actually really adorable to see them working so hard and practicing songs. The performance was really cute!!

Samantha sang 'You are My Sunshine', and sure enough.. I was crying (even Craig got a little misty)... it was priceless.

Niko rocked it on the tiny fiddle, how adorable it that???

Grown-Up Getaway!!!

Leaving the kids behind Craig and I took off for a long weekend with my sister Ashley and her husband David. We drove through Evanston and up to Bear River Lodge. It was great, the cabin was perfect and the fresh air was just what we needed, if only for a couple days. We rode four-wheelers all day on Saturday, and I had no idea how hard that way! Great way to workout the arms and have fun at the same time! Saturday was beautiful weather, and then Sunday on the drive home it snowed in the mountains! Welcome to June in Utah folks!!
