Provo Temple

We had a primary activity day at the temple so we had to get a picture of the boys.  How did we get so lucky to have such handsome boys!

Last Day of School!

It is the last day of school for now.  Mason has finished third grade and Peyton has finished first grade.  This also means that Mason has finished his time at Timpanogos Elementary for now.  He will be doing CAS (Center for Accelerated Studies) next year at Provo Peaks Elementary.  We are so excited to begin summer break!

Memorial Day Weekend

This past weekend was Memorial Day.  Montana decided to take Monster Burger to the Scandinavian Festival in Ephraim.  He left on Thursday night so be ready to go on Friday.  I brought the boys and Riley Jensen down on Friday after school.

Riley needed another campout for scouts so he came and pitched his tent for him and Mason to sleep in.  We camped at our favorite spot in Manti - Temple Hill Resort.  We spent the early evening setting up our tent and getting ready to cook dinner.  Montana came over after the festival and we hung around the campfire.  Saturday morning Montana had to be back at the festival for the rest of the day.  I got the kids breakfast and then we headed to the parade.  They threw lots of candy and Tanner even got a shirt!

We dropped Riley off to his family, wandered the festival, ate good food, and let the kids play.  We decided to stay through the rest of the holiday weekend so I headed to the store for more food.  We packed up the Monster Burger stuff and headed back to camp.  It rained quite a bit on Friday and Saturday but we stayed dry.  We spent quality time together as a family on Sunday and enjoyed one another's company.  We hiked around the campground, played football, and relaxed.  Monday we packed up and headed home.  It was such a relaxing weekend and a much needed family break!

Cub Scouts

Since Mason just had a birthday, he now gets to move up to the Bear Den in Cub Scouts.  This also means that he earned his Wolf Badge.  We are so proud of him for accomplishing this!

Mason's Birthday

Mason had a birthday and turned 9 years old!  I don't feel old enough to have a 9 year old.  It's crazy how fast time flies.  He loves to read so we did a book for his cake.  He got fun things to play with...especially the Kindle so he can have lots of books on one device instead of carrying around multiple books.

Utah is Beautiful!

We took advantage of some beautiful weather and headed up Rock Canyon.  We have lived in Utah County for 8 years and never been hiking in Rock Canyon.  We decided it was worth a little evening trip.  It was so beautiful and we had such a good time hiking together as a family.  The kids did awesome and really love running around outside!

Mother's Day 2014

Mother's Day this year started a couple days early with Randee coming to stay with us.  We always have so much fun when she visits.  We visited the park while she was here and the kids loved having her here to play with.

On Saturday we headed to Kneaders for their free breakfast for moms.  Of course we took everybody and thoroughly enjoyed the food.  We did presents on Sunday morning and Montana cooked us breakfast!  We had lots of fun gifts and we had to send Grandma home way too soon.
