~~~Weekend Getaway~~~

This is the cute little cabin we all stayed in. We were glad we didn't camp in got in the 30's at night

Trying to find the tetons through the clouds.

Yellowstone!

All wet suited up to float the snake.

All summer we have been wanting to go and float the snake river, so we finally did it this weekend. We invited Austin's brothers family and they had been wanting to go to Yellowstone so we hit them both in one weekend. We had a once in a lifetime experience thanks to my mother. She found out that we were going and they had been wanting to go to Jackson hole just for fun! So it was all just perfect Timing which never happens to us. So the once in a lifetime experience was rafting the river WITH Clint and Leslie and NO KIDS! Thanks Mom for taking them It was a great trip! So on to Yellowstone we go and I hadn't been in probably four years and I always forget how beautiful it is there, you could honestly spend a week seeing everything we just drove in the south entrance out the west. We did go about and hour out of the way to see Mammoth hot spring and it was well worth it they were amazing. Then on our way home we went through Island Park so we went over and saw the Mesa falls. We got home a little late but the memories will last forever.

Carson the wreslter

I caught this face by accident but i LOVED it! Carson had a ball wrestling, the coaches were great they made him feel like he was there absolute favorite, and best of all the power aide! Thanks to the coaches for putting such a great camp together.

Just cute!

Trace likes to open his mouth for anything that gets near it. Just a taste.

I had to post these adorable pictures of Trace with his Daddy layin on the grass that Hannah snapped. Austin was pooped after a fierce game of badmitted and croquet in the back yard. Were getting excited for some fun events coming up...My family camp trip is over the 24th of July for five days, then it's rodeo weekend and Carson is riding a sheep on Saturday night, then Carson is going to play soccer this fall he's soo excited. So I will post the good times stay tuned!

What we've been up to

Over the fourth of July we went to My mom campground that she is camp hosting at and it's right by Bear Lake, and this is one of the entries in a sandcastle building contest. Really cool

On our way home we went hiking up to Bloomington lake.

Carson has been taking swimming lessons at Riverdale resort and was swimming the second day!

Trace did not like the sand at bear lake.

We Also have been going swimming a lot we went to Lava and that was really fun great area were Carson could touch so I didn't have to worry about him. Kid friendly slides and best of all Wedgie slides. Cowabunga bay was our latest adventure it's in Draper and It is awesome don't go there if you don;t want to get wet cause there is no getting around it. It has like 10 or so slides for tiny kids up to grown up kids. They were all really fun. Thanks for going with me Kambree. Carson was to much of a chicken should have sent him with Alyssa :) Got a nice sunburn while there so now I have a serious tan line. Thanks Steph for the invite it was great fun and thanks Hannah for taking my baby Trace all day so I could go. See Steph's blog for pics I forgot the camera.

Four Wheelin... in the rain

It was a beautiful day until we get up the canyon to go on a four wheeler ride and then the sky turn black and it starts to rain. We didn't let it stop us though, we were prepared with wet gear so we still had a great time!!
We got stuck in some snow so we had to get off and push. Well Carson decided to get off as they were pushing the four wheeler and got pulled under the tire luckily he was OK and just got a little strawberry on his bum.

When it started hailing we pulled over under some trees and Austin built a fire so we could stay dry.

At willow flats in the river. Carson loved it!

Hannah was messing with the settings on her camera so I was posing for her.

We saw twin baby moose.

Narcolepsy

Were beginning to wonder about Carson?? When he was one we could not find him anywhere, after further, deeper searching I found him sound asleep curled up in a ball under our computer desk. Then I'm just going about my day thinking Carson is being really quiet so I better go see what he is doing, there he is again curled up on the fourth stair sleeping. Around maybe 2 or 3 I'm feeding him in his high chair then I go to get him out and he's sleeping with his head resting on the table. Maybe a year later once again Carson is being really quiet and hes sleeping across the top of the three stools at the bar in the kitchen, arms dangling down, droolin. Then this last time was just last week he was with dad machining at work and Austin said he was playing in the cabinet and next thing he knew he was silent, well that is why he fell fast asleep on tools and metal. I read up about narcolepsy and I think the little guy just plays so hard when he's tired it doesn't matter where he sleeps. Narcolepsy symptoms are randomly sleeping in the middle of the day, and his sleep episodes are in the evening. I think we'll be ok.

Poky pool

I have really been enjoying this new camera look at these great action photos it takes. Thanks Kalie

The kids loved this kiddie pool that went from o -1ft deep with a water playground in the middle. I think that I like this place even more than the Logan pool. It has a lazy river with gaming pool in the middle of the river it was really fun.

I don't know how but last week we picked the only sunny day of this entirely long spring to go to the poky pool. We went with Carson's cousins Clay, Lance, Kyle and Aunt Leslie. Our families are getting to big to car pool anymore so I need a Minivan :) So if anyone knows of one for sale for a great deal please let me know.
