Good friends!

I really think it's important to have people in your life that you get along with and can have a real good time with! Of course there is always family but you have to have other people to have fun with!

KoriAnn Anderson and her hubby Ben went out with us this last weekend! We went out to dinner at chilis! Then went bowling! It was sooo fun! At 9 o'clock they turned off the lights and it was galactic bowling with black, and disco lights! They had a DJ or someone who was meant to be one and we danced and goofed off while bowling!! I, of course, won the first game, cause I'm just that good! But the second game Drew dominated the lanes!

It was funny cause Ben rolled up one of his pant legs and looked like a complete NERD! We laughed and had a good ol time!

Thanks for being so wonderful! We love you guys!

Pumpkin patch!

So my grandpa's neighbor has a pumpkin patch and we went last week to let the kids pick out a pumpkin! It was fun!
Makai wanted one small enough that he could carry. And Lainee just wanted a good one....So here are some fun pictures! We are carving them tomorrow!!

Makai was cranky cause he fell off the big pumpkin and the guy laughed at him...awwww

Canyonlands Adventure!

Camping down in Canyonlands is something we used to do every year. We havent been in 10 years!! I was 14 when I was there last! It was nice to go and relive some memories from when we used to go every year! We stay at a group camp site called split top camp ground. It has a cool cave with a split up the top of it. That is where the camp fire is.

We got some back country permits and took our 4 wheel drive vehicles up some canyons! We found some cool arches and some awesome indian ruins! I found one all by myself!! That was pretty cool! We also went the the infamous Paul Bunyons potty! it is a bit huge hole in a rock that looks like a toilet! We climbed up into it and it had indian ruins in it! It was AWESOME!!

Here are a few pics from our trip. I'll explain each one:D


This one is just right up from our camp site. It was the first morning and my dad hadn't made breakfast yet so we decided to take the kids on thier first exploration adventure! They loved it!


This is up on top of the rocks by our campsite. The view was awesome! The pictures just don't do it justice!

We were finding our way back and decided to climb down this crack!
This is actually before the previous one. It's the beginning of the crack:D
More on top of the rocks pics



When we came previous years this was something we nick named as the doll house because the holes in the rock reminded us of little rooms for a doll! Lainee thought this was pretty cool!
Drew was trying to climb up to the doll house...he had a little trouble...hahaha
There is Kado and I up in the doll house:D Thanks to Courtney for letting us borrow the baby back pack! It was a life saver!!
Here we are with my brother Jaren on top of the rocks!


I thought this picture was really cute! We decided to go check out the other group campsite. We might go again next year and we would need to reserve this other one cause it's bigger. We hope to have more people next year:D But I thought it was cute because they climbed into this little cave and then I asked them to turn around a smile and they did in the same pose! SO CUTE!


It's hard to see but if you look just to the left of Lainee there is a rock and next to that rock is a rock called The wooden shoe. It looks like a shoe....

The kids climbed onto this branch and so we stuck Kado up there and snapped a shot! Actually alot of shots...this is just one:D

This is the back of the split top cave. It was nice during the day since it was so warm outside. But at night it was chilly!!

Here the kids are peeking out of this cool cave!

Lainee was such a good climber! My kids were made to crawl all over rocks!


Here is Paul Bunyons potty!

The kids standing below Paul Bunyons Potty!

This one didn't show up like I hoped it would. There is Indian ruins up in this cave! If you look to the very right you can see them:D

Here is Lainee and Makai cuddling next to the fire!

I have so many pictures from this trip! These are just the best ones!! We had so much fun! And can't wait till next year. Minus the peeing the pants the dirt and the cold nights it was amazing!
