campout take #2

We had a blast camping this weekend. All five siblings were together reminiscent of the many outings we took as kids with our dad growing up. Is it true I'm the shortest one there?! My family has gotten so big.
Great times were had by all. But we were all left wishing mom and dad and Mandy could've been there with us.

weekend outings

Friday night Kev planned a cute date for us to go hiking up the canyon. The date was complete with a picnic dinner packed in new matching backpacks filled with all our favorite treats.
It was beautiful up there and nice to get out of the house for a cool evening hike. On Saturday when Kev had to work all day (move outs) I went with my two younger bros to see the BYU football team's fall scrimmage.
Less than 3 weeks til the season opener against Ole Miss and we're stoked. The boys in the family can tell you anything you want to know (and probably a whole lot more) about any one of the players out there. In fact, they'll probably do the same for any player on any team we're playing this season. Yeah they're crazy, but they love it and I'm happy they're happy.

farmer's market

I might have gone a little over board with produce this weekend. What can I say, it's summer and I love fresh produce. We've been making smoothies, orange julius', fresh strawberry ice cream, all things summer.
This little beauty has to be my favorite appliance we got since we've been married. We love it.
It makes me happy when I know my family is eating healthy food. Even if I never hear the end of it from Kevin about how I feed him baby food. I know he likes it. He's just too manly to admit it to me.

Camping attempt

We headed out to go camping this weekend. First camp out of the summer (and we're already into August!) and everyone was excited. We had the back end loaded with a cooler full of food, firewood, tent and all. We head out early for the canyon hoping to find a spot since we didn't reserve ahead of time. After negotiating with the forest ranger we found ourselves a spot, but it was another 5 miles of bumping rocky dirt roads. Within a mile of our site one of the tires blew.
Handy-man Kev had it fixed in no time.
But we still had to head home cause we didn't want to risk getting another flat and being stranded. Everyone was super bummed (as you can tell from the pictures).
We did catch a beautiful sunset and view of Utah County on our way out. We're trying again for this weekend and we'll have a new set of tires and a site reserved :)
