Trip Down Memory Lane

Here's the rules...

1) Think of a memory that you and I have shared together and leave a comment about it.

2) Thennnnnn, post these same instructions on your blog and enjoy or blush horribly at the things people remember about you. I'll assume you are playing the game too and I will leave a memory on your blog as well.

Escape to the pines!

These are some of the pictures we took last weekend when we escaped to the mountains for a couple of days. My parents invited us up to Alpine to camp with them, they have a travel trailer which to me means, running water, shower and a real toilet. I'm not a fan of "roughing it". The weather was beautiful, I loved the afternoon rains. We camped near Luna Lake so Hyrum got to fish everyday but still came home fishless, probably because he had his girls with him and spent most of the time untangeling and recasting lines every 5 minutes. He was a good sport though and made sure they had fun. Hyrum would take the girls on a hike and quad ride everyday too. Thank you mom and dad for letting us crash any hopes of the two of you having a nice relaxing weekend in the pines!

Locks of Love

Corynn has been wanting to cut her hair for awhile now, and I've been putting it off but my friend was free to cut it today so we decided to do it. Corynn is donating it to Locks of Love which required a shorter hair cut than she wanted at first but after viewing their website, there was no hesitation on her part, she told me she would be donating it to someone who needed it. She is much braver than I am! Soooo her beautiful long locks are gone, but her "new do" is so cute I think, and it has even given her a little bit of an attitude...

First Day of School!

Today was Corynn's first day of Kindergarten! When she woke up this morning she was so excited that she did a little dance. She already told me that recess and snack time were going to be her favorite part of the day. When we got to her school she jumped right in line with the other children to go into class. She did well with our goodbye, me on the other hand...not so good. I cried all the way back to the car, I couldn't help it. After 5 years of having her home with me all day everyday it was hard to let her go! Sniff, sniff. Alli had a hard time too, she will miss her big sister.

Hyrum's brother Jared was able to get leave to attend their grandma Reta's funeral yesterday. It was a bittersweet day. We were so happy to see Jared but we will miss Grandma Reta so much. She was such a "neat" lady (she described everything good as "neat".)

4th of July FUN!

We spent the 4th down in St. David. We set up a slip and slide for all the kids and they loved it. We ate sandwiches and every salad imaginable and then we sang "Happy Birthday" to my mom, she's 21 (X3 he,he), and had cake and homemade iceream with every topping imaginable! The weather wasn't too bad thanks to a short afternoon rain. Then we drove into Benson for fireworks that have definitely improved since the last time I saw them there 10 years ago! We had a great time celebrating my mom and AMERICA's Birthday!
