Camping in Sand Hollow

We planned a camping trip with our friends, the Suprises in hot St. George, Sand Hollow.  It was beautiful, but too hot to be there.  You either wanted to spend the whole day in/near the water or inside the trailer with the air on full blast.  It was nice when it was late in the evening to go for a walk or sit out and roast marshmallows.  But we still had a good time, although Paxton and a couple of our friends kids got swimmers itch on the first day we were at the water so they didn't want to go back in fear of it getting worse.  We didn't have any clue if it would or not, but they were kinda miserable itching with red spots all over.  

Graham's Track Meet

I signed Graham up to do Track and Field this summer and he has loved it so far.  This kid loves to run!  He's been able to join a few of the track meets and even invited his friends to join one.  He loves to try the other activities such as long jump, jumping hurdles, javelin throwing, and shot put.  I tried to enter Harper into run with the other 2 year olds, but she just cried when we got her out on the track.

Happy Father's Day

After church we celebrated Rem with a few gifts, homemade cards and lots of hugs.  Then the kids all gave him a back rub and foot rub while he laid in bed and we let him take a nice long nap.  Later we went to my parents house with my whole family to celebrate.  These kids sure are lucky to have a dad that loves them like crazy and does fun things with them.  We love him so much!

I'm so lucky to have such an awesome dad and amazing grandpa to my kids.  We all adore him and love him to pieces!

Dog sitting Ollie

We got to have Rems sisters dog for about 5 days while they were on vacation.  It was fun having a dog around again and Rem is begging to get another one.  But there were definitely moments that reminded me why it's nice to not have one and with having a toddler right now I for sure want to wait for a few years.  Ollie sure was a cute and loving dog and it was fun to see the kids enjoy him so much.

Graham got baptized!

First off I'm so proud of Graham for making the decision to want to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  We had lots of discussions with him and with no hesitation he knew what he wanted.  He was excited to go shopping for a new suit and get his baptism pictures done.  I'm so grateful to my sister for taking these great pictures of Graham by the Draper Temple.  Graham sure was loving every minute of it and even would have ideas of another shot to take, it was cute.

I'm grateful that the Stake changed things up on how they did baptisms.  They used to put everyone together and now they let you do your own baptism so it's more special for the kids.  With Covid still being a thing we just invited family because our family is pretty large.  We had a small program and then Graham got baptized and confirmed.  He just looked so happy and said he felt peace.

After the baptism we all gathered back at our house for lunch.  We just had sandwiches and some sides and desserts.  Graham got a few presents from family including a homemade "Holy Ghost" pillow from his cousin Lucy and  a new set up scriptures from mom and dad.  It was a good day!  We sure love our Graham and are proud of him!  He looked so handsome.

Harper loves holding her cousin, baby Millie.

Happy birthday GG Moss

It was great to celebrate GG's 82nd birthday with her.  She got a Donavon Mitchell birthday cake because she loves the Jazz.  She called it her "Don Evan" cake after her husband.  Evan and Heather were so nice to have the party at their house and let the kids swim in their pool.  We all had a great time.

Happy birthday Rem

The kids made Rem some Halloween birthday cards because they know he loves Halloween and Graham picked out a big blow up taco pool toy because they know he loves Taco Bell.  We sure love celebrating this guy!
