A Campin’ We Will Go

So we went on our first camping trip for the season.  Our first trip is usually in March or April, but this year we have been a bit lazy.  We went up to Payson Lakes with my sisters and their boyfriends/families and had a lot of fun.  When we got up to our spot our “neighbors” informed us that the next night they were going to be having a big old White Trash Wedding – hundreds of people, booze and loudness.  The next day they started bring in chairs, tables and the Outhouse – we were out of there.  We ran into some of our new neighbors, Forrest and Jill – Dave also works with Forrest – and they said we could come and camp by them.  So once we had spent they day at the lake fishing and soaking up the sun, we moved up the canyon with them.   It was fun to be out camping again and enjoying the outdoors with the boys.

We Have a New Cousin!!!

 

Kaylie Lynn Deschamps was born on Thursday, June 19th – and she is sooooo cute!!  She weighed 6lbs 2oz and was 17 1/2 inches long.  We went Friday to see her at the hospital and we saw Pete and Kenna while we were at it – they are her proud parents.

The boys absolutely love Kaylie and want to go and see her every day.  It makes me so excited to have my own in January.

Mmmm, Spaghetti

We had spaghetti for dinner tonight and about halfway through, Cooper started crying and told us that a noodle was stuck up his nose (he had been chewing on it and it went the back way - he didn’t stick it up his nose).  We tried to have him blow it out quite a few times, then Spencer told me to not keep squeezing his nose, just let him continue to blow, and out popped the noodle – we were laughing so hard – we had to take a picture.  Look how long that sucker was, and it was doubled up – no wonder he was crying.

 

 

Where’s My Pot of Gold?

Just barely took these pictures – isn’t it gorgeous??  Of course the boys had to get the umbrellas and run in the rain.  I love double rainbows.

I know where my pot of gold is – right here.

Salem Pond

 

We took the boys to Salem Pond last night and did a little duck feeding and fishing off of our paddleboat.  We took a box of cheerios and were surrounded by ducks – its always so much fun.  Gavin caught the only fish of the night – the other two tried with no luck.

When I was young, me and my siblings used to walk down to the pond from our house – about a mile away – and swim with no lifejackets, and I don’t think any of us really knew how to swim – What was my mom THINKING!!!!

When I was a teenager I also jumped off the bridge you can see in the background of some of the pictures – even though its posted NO JUMPING!!!  What a rebel.
