ReAdY tO gO cAmPiNg!!










We out grew our two man tent so we have been eyeing the 6 man tent at Costco. It finally went on sale so we bought it. We are very excited to go camping this summer. I love smelling like camp fire, the crisp morning air when you first unzip the tent, cooking hot dogs over the fire and letting the kids get dirty, dirty, DIRTY! We went camping last year and I could not believe how much dirt was in the tub when the kids took a bath. They had a ball rolling in the dirt with their friends. So we put the tent up in our living room and played in it for a bit. Hopefully there won't be bear problem like there was last year. Not really excited about being eaten by a bear. :(


On Monday night we had a great visit with some good friends. Shanna and her son Clarke (He is one of Alivia's friends), were in town from Canada. We used to live by Jonathan & Shanna in Orem and we both moved around the same time. They moved back to Canada where they are both from. We hadn't seen them for about a year so it was so great to see them. We went to dinner and had a fun time catching up. Jonathan wasn't able to come so we missed him. They are such great friends!!

Ok Jewels,...Can you be any cuter?! Your kids have to LOVE having you and Jared for parents! Putting up a tent in your house...how fun! This would make for a great activity for Conference (like King Benjamin Days)! We usually just make a tent out of sheets but you've got the real thing (even better)! I'm excited about the VIVA ITALIA news too! It is so exciting to live in these days where we get to witness these wonderful things take place! YAY for Italy!

Hey Julie!! I'm so glad you found us! Your family is super cute...(and you are as gorgeous as ever!!) It looks like you guys have a lot of fun together. I love the picture of you all laying on the floor with your heads together. So fun! Keep in touch ;)

What a fun idea! I have set up a pup tent in the house before, but a huge tent--you guys are ambitious. You take such fun pictures!
