Canton Lake Camping Trip

A little over a week ago we went out on a camp out with our good friends the Crooks and the Shallenbergers. We found a group camp site that was very afforable and secluded. It was right by the lake too which was good and bad. It was fun and beauitful but we had to keep a close eye on the little ones. We all had alot of fun and we all enjoyed being in good company. The babies slept well and so did all the kids once we got them settled down, which took a while. I unfortuanley didn't pull my camera out at the camp but got some cute pics of the kiddos playing at in the water the next day. It was so much fun. But alot of work of packing and unpacking and repacking all the camping supplies. I think next time I would like to go for more than one night.

Sydneys 1st Soccer Game!

JACKSON PLAYING WITH KINSLEY DURING THE GAME. THEY WERE BOTH LAUGHING



Sydney played in her first ever soccer game on Tuesday night and she absolutley loved it!! She just had a ball (hee-hee) out there running around. Tyler and I and the boys had equally as much fun watching her. I loved cheering her on from the sidelines. Tyler joked that I will be the parent that yells at the ref because I am so vocal. I don't think I'll go that far but I have no problem cheering out loud for my little girl and her team mates. It is just a blast watching her have so much and work hard and learn something new. She did such a good job!

Baby Cheeks!!

Yesterday after I bathing Kinsley I let her lay and kick around with no diaper on while I bathed Miss Maddy. I brought Maddy in and lay her nest to Kins and she rolled right over and put her arm around her sister. It was too cute I had to run a grab the camera.


These girls are getting so big. It's hard to beleive they are already 6 months. The both have been rolling aorund like crazy for the past month. Thye will also scoot around just a little to get to object that has sparked their curiosity. They smile lots and giggle for us and talk and do lots of happy squeals. Tyler and I took them to the adult session of stake conference on Saturday and both ended up in the hall with them. They weren't crying, but they were sure making alot of loud happy noises. Sometimes the kids will do something that will get them both laughing and then everyone is laughing. It is so fun to watch them grow and learn new things but it really is going by way too fast! They are such good babies and we just love them both so much!!

Just a few recent pics

Alabaster Caverns

For the labor day weekend we decided to taake a break form our major bathroom project and just go out and do something fun as a family. We had recently heard about a gypsum cave we could take a tour through. It was nice to get out and the kids thought it was so fun to walk through a cave and were especially excited to look for bats, and we actually saw a couple. Jackson was a little nervous at first because we sing the going on a bear hunt song often enough he was worried we might see a bear. I could just picture the words going through his mind..."it's dark in here, Is anyone around? I see two eyes..." We also packed the baby girls in our back pack, sicne we obviously couldn't packa stroller through there. Our good friends the Torgerson's came alon and I don't know how we would have done it without them. Jack was Spencers buddy trough the cave and Jamie held babies for us lots! We are so lucky to have such good friends!
