I don't know what we did for fun before we got our trampoline.

A typical day and I'm up bright and early. I keep thinking it will get easier, but it isn't.

This morning I dropped Spencer off at the church so he could go to his first day at cubscout day camp.

Today I went to a neighborhood "mom" party and they asked us to bring a treat. I brought this yummy fruit slush. Click here for the recipe. YUM!

We hiked up to Doughnut Falls this morning. We hiked through mud, snow, and a river, but it was a really great hike for the kids. (You can barely see the waterfall over Kyle's head- still working on my self-timer skills.)

My mom gave me these patriotic decorations today and I hung them up. We are ready for the Fourth around here!

First day of Girls Camp for my church.

The girls pranked us leaders WAY good today. So funny!

Last day of camp for me today. I had to go home a day early and be a mom. :) A few of us went on a little hike and I just snapped this picture of me and one of my favorite people.

It's fireworks time and this is Kyle's idea of combining fireworks and weeding. He's a pyro. Enough said.

This is how we watched the NBA playoffs- final game. This is the ONLY way I'd watch it...

We made our own frozen pops today and enjoyed them for our before bedtime snack. These ones were chocolate/banana/peanut butter. Yum!

Our garden is starting to grow! And I'm getting excited!

We drove down to the Mormon Miracle Pageant today and met Kyle's parents there. It's the first time our kids have gone. It rained on us and thundered and lighteninged and we got eaten by swarms of mosquitoes before the pageant started, but during the pageant it only rained on us a little bit. We got home at 2 AM and we are all still recovering!

Date night! We went to eat, went shopping, went and watched part of a baseball game and then walked around the park by our house. The water from the river is just starting to come over the sides.

We took the family to Seven Peaks today. It was a little chilly, but we all had fun anyway!

The boys came home from the Father and Sons campout today. This cute and filthy kid
had a blast! So did the other boys.

Happy Fathers Day! It's kind of been one of those days.... We're just celebrating the fact that we haven't caused bodily harm to any of the kids today. It seems like the kids act up most on Fathers and Mother's Day. Is it just us? But the morning DID start out great with the kids excited to give Kyle their presents and homemade cards.

Made this today. I am going to try to paint the tray still, but I'm deciding on a color. I just wanted something that the kids/husband could look at for what we're eating that day, plus it helps hold me accountable.

I'm so sad this picture is a little blurry! This is some of our Young Women. We helped fill a ton of sandbags for our neighborhood for our activity.

I've been watching my cute neice the last few days. The kids just swoon over her and give her a ton of attention!

I painted my fingernails blue today (so not me) and Kyle HATED it, but I was getting ready for a muddy day the next day and didn't want to see any of the mud under my fingernails. Figured this would do the trick, and it did!

Ran the Dirty Dash today with some awesome girls! It was so much fun and I'm still finding mud in my ears... seriously.

Look at what I have to compete with... (taken with my phone, sneakily.)

The kids helped me make our summer bucket list. We are all really excited to try to do all of these fun things this summer!

Spencer's been at my mom and dads this week for "Grandma Bootcamp 2011" Ha, that sounds like he has to work or something, but nope, he gets S.P.O.I.L.E.D! My sister took this picture of him and I decided to use it for my picture of the day. Lucky kid!

I am loving our backyard. This is after we were done relaxing and talking one night. I love sitting outside and enjoying everything about Spring! Definitely one of my favorite things to do- sitting and talking with my family.

Today we got invited to my sister's swimming pool to play. Carly LOVED it and keeps begging to go back.

Today we were lucky enough to host our nieces one year old birthday bash. Spencer decided to make use of some of the wrapping paper from her gifts.

Cross off the first thing on our Summer Bucketlist! We went to Antelope Island today and we swam in the Great Salt Lake. It was so much fun!!! Can't wait to get cracking on the rest of the things on our list!

Dirty Dash 2011

We had a fun, dirty time yesterday running the Dirty Dash. It was hard, but fun and we'd do it again, I think...


Before our heat started.

Right before the race started.

At one of the many obstacles. My favorite was the almost 200 foot long slip n slide going down the mountain. It was worth hiking up this steep, muddy hill to do!

Running in all the mud.

Almost at the end. One of the 3 mud swimming pits we had to go through.

Finished and muddy.

Our team at the end of the 5K (I swear it was longer! HA!)
