Trouble

Macy is trouble lately, she is very curious and into everything!  The fridge and dishwasher are her favorites, but I did catch her in her bottom drawer the other day, clothes emptied out of it and her just sitting inside all proud of herself.  I am going to be one busy girl trying to keep up with this one!

Ashtyn and I made sidwalk paint and this little stinker spoiled the fun real quick. 

She loves to play peek-a-boo in the curtains so they are always twisted up but that is ok with me because it is stinkin' cute!  I will put a video another time.

Don't let this one fool you.  She is just getting ready to pounce and ruin game time.  One of these days the kids will learn not to set things up on the floor anymore.

My littl snorklers

The kids playing in Tear Drop LakeMacy getting dirty...really dirty crawling around in the weird dusty dirt at Tear Drop.  She loved it!

Macy found all sorts of treasures on the ground.  She is showing me the pine cone she found... and tasted.  Yum Yum.

Brandon and Brittni joined us so we could break Brittni in (she had never been camping!).  They are playing Bocci Ball with Haylee.  Poor Brittni always has one of my kids hanging around her.  We just love her.  Thanks for the company Brandon and Brittni, I am glad you finally found us.  :)

A week of Lakes

Last week was full of visits to Lakes. We spent a day at Rigby Lake which gave us the itch to visit Tear Drop Lake. It was lots of fun. I am still trying to clean up from both excursions, sand and dirt are everywhere, but it was well worth it! Ashtyn building sandcastles with some neighbor friends Rigby Lake added a slide to the water this year. The kids loved it! Haylee and her friend Brittany goofing off. Brigham and his friend Aden Macy chillin' on the beach.

The 4th

We had a great 4th this year. The weather was a little chilly but it beat having the sun roast you the entire parade. Watching the Scouts carry 100 flags. Pretty cool. We met up with several people from the neighborhood to watch the parade. Our neighborhood is full of cute kids! This one is funny...all the Dad's sitting down, stuck with the little ones. Brigham was all star struck with the people from Star Wars. He wanted to shake their hand but got shy and ran off. ha ha Brigham and Dad climbing the rock wall at the neighborhood party. All decked out in their red, white and blue. We had a great day spending time barbequing with family and friends and watching some awesome fireworks. The kids really enjoyed the day. Macy loved the fireworks and clapped and talked the entire time.

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. .
