Camping at Tony's Grove Near Logan, Utah

This is a long post!! We had the chance to go camping with some of our family near Logan, Utah in the mountains. It was a lot of fun! We had some mishaps happen. Mark's brother's family all took turns with the flu and Makay was bucked off of a horse resulting in our getting to know the hospital in Logan really well. He is doing great though and believe it or not is so excited to get back on a horse (as long as it is a nice one). We had the chance to catch up with our family who we have not seen very much this past year and enjoy the beautiful mountains. It was a good camp out and we enjoyed the time there!

Salt Lake, Here We Come!

We had the chance to stop in Salt Lake City on our way home from one of our trips to Colorado and visit Mark's sister Christina. It was a lot of fun to see her again and to get to see Temple Square. It is always so beautiful and the spirit is so strong there. I took two pictures of some statues there because I really respect, admire and appreciate Joseph and Emma for the immense part they played in our early Church History and I took the picture of the Mother and the Son because I can relate to that statue so amazingly being the mother of three sons and wanting with all of my heart for them to grow up making wise choices and knowing that I love them and will stand by them through it all. It was a wonderful time.

Keepin' It Real

Life wouldn't be complete with out the everyday things that happen and being able to capture some of that life with the camera. Here is a little of our everyday happenings these past couple of months. Mason, Matthew, Makay and Makenna had some really great times with their family in Colorado in some of these sweet pictures. Makenna and Penny, Makenna's cousin are very close in size. Makenna is in the red jacket and Penny is in the yellow. So Cute!We caught a shot with my younger brother Kory and Penny and even caught Makenna and Penny with matching crocs! A special pic with Kenna and her Grandma Peine!

Boys Will Be Boys!

This summer has been so busy! We have been on so many trips and just tried to keep up with our family. Mason learned how to drive his grandparent's four-wheeler and the boys have ridden their bikes from the flat, windy roads of Idaho to the red dirt of Colorado and now to the rough, rocky mountains above Logan, Utah. We are convinced that boys don't get easier as they get older because there are larger mountains for them to climb and more dirt to clean off of them. It is Great!

Can't Beat Those Colorado Mountains

We had the chance to go visit my family again in Colorado in June. I tried to capture a little of the beauty that the mountains by my parents house have to offer! Take a LOOK!

Summer is Just About Here!

While waiting for Summer Break to come we have been busy. We went to Colorado and we have been wrapping up things at school. It has been a chaotic last month of school but it is coming quickly to a close. Summertime here we come!





We got to go down to Colorado for Mother's Day to be with my mom. We had such a great time! The boys got to go on a Father's and Son's Camp Out with their grandpa, uncle Kory and their dad. We enjoyed a much needed break.




Mason and Matthew got to run the Mile for school and I had the chance to run with them. I was shocked to get a 9 min. mile when I haven't ran a timed- mile in about ten years. It was a lot of fun and the boys did awesome!





Makenna is ready for swimsuit season! We found a cute suit at Old Navy for a really good deal and she does not mind modeling it for the camera despite the diaper peaking out for all to see.
