Hiking at Saigehen....

Saigehen Still....

Grandpa Jeffs and Kiara fishing at the dock. Kiara and Trinitee playing peek-a-boo.

Kiara sat on this stump, looking out at the lake through the trees just singing and singing. She just live in her own little world.

This was part of our hike...SNOW...what the heck!?!?

We made it to the warefall....so I made everyone get into picture mode...they don't like it at the moment but love the pics later!!

I know I posted these all out of order...sorry I got a little out of practice......

memorial day camping

Well this year our family did not go up Saigehen and spend the weekend....instead we went for a day trip. We had a ton of fun. We went for a hike, where I fell and hurt my knee, but other than that the day was great, fire pits, roasting marshmellows, fishing, and running with the cousins. Missed having Greg with us....I am sure it will take a while before it does not feel weird that he is not with us. Kiara jumped in a tree and said "Take my picture mom!"

Trinitee carrying herchair back from the docks. Silly girl.

Ahhh, the fun event of who can flip the pine cone the farthest.

I just like this pic of Trinitee with the older kids just visible on the dock in the background.

Our famliy pic on the hike.....before I mashed my knee.

FIRE, SAUSAGE, AND MARSHMELLOS

We pulled out the fire pit and desided to roast sauseges and have egg and sausage wraps for dinner tonight. Here are some quick pics of the girls havin fun!Burning our sausages in the fire...mmmmmm!
Is it done mom? I heard that question like 80 times!!

Trinitee my little loner......

Bree came to sit by her.

We had so much fun we are going to do it again tomorrow...well just the marshmellos...we told Grandma Yearsley she sould come over ...Kari too.....what fun it will be!

Our New Swingset!!!!!

We finally got the rest of our swing set up!!!! Yea!!! For you that do not know the story of our swingset ..............My friend Lisa had to move out of her house, she was not planning on taking down her swingset to move to the new house....too much of a pain.....so I had my brother in law Ronnie come over one day when he was in town and took it apart and helped move it to our back yard!!! FREE FREE FREE swingset!!!! However he had to get back to work and did not have time to put it back together....so it sat on its side for a while!

Then the T & T carnival birthday was going to take place in our yard and I could not have this big wood pile......So Jacob (my son) came over and the two of us put the main structure up and added the monkey bars for stability....however we were not capable of the swings area.........

So finally the other day the sweet young med of our ward came over and put everything together....the girs could not stop hugging them!!!! As it was time for bed I let them each play for a minuet and then off to their room....."You are the best mom EVER!" is what they said going into the house.....sooooooooooo worth it!!

Everyday since....(like the last 3) they play and play and play out there......I am the smartest mom ever...who knew I would be so happy to have the swingset!!!!

Anyway that is the story of our swingset and these were just some cute picks of the kids playing tonight on the stuff!!

T AND T Carnival Birthday Party!!

Trinnitee needed a picture of ALLLLL the presents...it looks like so much more when there are two! This party was so fun and I am glad we did it, but I am sooo glad it is over! I enjoyed this a lot and have always wanted to do one... but no other birthday will be like it again...Gee wizz! I need a nap! These are the AMAIZING cupcakes Karie made for our Cupcake walk! I love that she is willing to do this for us...her talent is wonderous!!! I wish I could think of the word that Greg would always say when we played the "who loves who most" game..he always won cause I couldn't beat that word...anyhow..that is the word for the cupcakes....unbeatale...Love you Kari!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! (popcorn bags w/popcorn, hello kitty,leaves and sucker flowers, clowns, elmo, and cookie monster!)

The CUPCAKE WALK was great! The kids all loved this game...and well you saw the cupcakes so who wouldn't want to get one?!?!?! The kids loved this area...My friend Kara came and ran this "booth" for me..however the music wasn't working out so great...well for a mexican feiesta maybe...the only channel with music was the spanish station....so mom K saved the day by useing her phone music to play the game....YEAH MOM!!!Ring toss...Lauren helped out ...thanks Lauren!
