Our latest project

{CAMPING-BIRCH CREEK}

We went caming at Birch Creek yesterday with Scott's brother, Rob's family. It was such an enjoyable time. This was Macy's first camp experience. As you can see, she was having a good time...even at 11 o'clock when it was past bed time. The kids got to fish. Ashtyn caught this weird looking fish which really creeped me out! There was a big cave with a trail leading to it that Scott had to climb with his motorcycle. He made his way up to the top of that trail. All we could see was a small black dot but it was fun to see him progress and make it up there. Michelle and Brigham are buds, they were so cute working together to pump up Brigham's bike tire. Macy is getting so big! She turned 9 months old yesterday and here are some of the fun things she has learned: -she crawls everywhere really quickly now -walks along the furniture -tries to let go of things and balance for a second then sits down really quick -she waves bye bye -dances to music -sings if you play the piano -says "yummmm" (more like mmmmm) while eating -makes a yuck sound when I change her diaper or when she tries to eat something off the ground and I get after her for it. -says Ut-oh, Dada, Mama, and mimics the sound of "there she is" after we say "where's the baby". She also tries to say "peek-a-boo". My favorite is that Scott taught her to say "argh" like a pirate. She is growing so quickly and learning so much. It is such a fun stage. The other day I found her just chillin' on the floor playing. She found some jackets to rest her head on and just kicked back to relax. Funny baby.

Our Fun Weekend

My family and I have started making bedding. Cute, custom bedding that is way fun. Here is an order we just completed for a customer. One of these days I will get my hands on a picture on their bed. It turned out way cute, so much fun! Because of this new business we have started we decided to go to the Casual Blogger Conference in Sandy, UT this past weekend. It was a great excuse to get away and learn new things. I took the whole fam with me but I only went to CBC with my Mom and friend Darci. We got to listen to great speakers and meet other awesome bloggers. My mom met the lady that started sugardoodle (I am sad I wasn't in that class) and we learned from people that have huge followers like betterinbulk.net, leeloublogs.blogspot.com, aprilshowers.blogspot.com, mormonmommy.blogspot.com, the creator of blogfrog.com, bipolarbeautyqueen.com, Matt Townsend the author of Starved Stuff just to name a few. Good stuff, good stuff. When we finished up on Saturday the entire family, I believe there was 15 of us went to The Mayan where people dive from way high. The place is decorated like a big tree house and you feel like you are at Disneyland. It is a must when you are in UT if you have kids. Scott and I decided to extend our stay until Monday so we got a fun hotel that had a great pool with a kids section and a big water slide. The kids had a blast swimming. We also hit Benihana's a Japanese style restaurant in SLC that cooks the food right in front of you on a big grill. The kids were amazed and it was tons of fun. The cook made a volcano out of an onion which was a big hit. On Monday we went with my sister and her family to the Children's Museum at the Gateway. It was tons of fun! If only they had a place like this when I was a kid. Ashtyn filling up her car with gas in the kids city. They had a house, construction zone, grocery store, post office and farm each of the kids could pretend play in Macy enjoyed playing on this swan. Haylee loved pretending she was a news girl. I had to take several shots of her posing in different areas. Too cute! Brigham had way too much fun. This construction zone was awesome for boys. There were also magnetic stations and blocks that had him pretty entertained. It was a fun weekend. We were sad when it all came to an end and we had to drive home. Back to reality. .
