June Camping Is the Best

It worked out with my schedule at work that we would be able to go camping this last weekend. So we asked my only brother living at home right now if he wanted to come with us. We were all so excited to go. That is until we the weather down here was cold. That only means it's going to be worse in the mountains. Blair was on the computer checking the weather up in the Uintas. We decided to try going anyways. If it was way bad we could come home.

The normal spot we stay was full of snow and mud. Now that wasn’t going to work.
So we went and found a new spot with less snow and mud and it was perfect.

It was absolutely beautiful and peaceful up there.

The boys love to go fishing. Especially Shawn!

Even Tanna loves to go camping!

Fun in the sun!

The next chapter

This month we also celebrated Shawn's Birthday. We had the family come over earlier in the week for a birthday party. On his actual birthday we went to my parent's house for a party, both for Shawn and Kevin.

Kevin left for England the next morning.

Here he is with Auntie Em playing none other than his favorite game

"go fish."
Shawn loves to paint. This is one of the present his brothers gave him.

Happy Birthday My Little Baby!

First camping trip this year

I am a just a little behind on my blogging.

So I will start with the beginning.

About a month ago we went camping at Goblin Valley. Going down to Southern Utah is my very favorite kind of camping. One of the best things was the weather was perfect not too hot and not too cold. Last year it was rain and cold.

I cannot get over how amazing this place is. Every time we go it takes my breath away. The kids love to slide down the mountains on their bums.
I actually only had two pairs a shorts that got holes in them. That's not so bad.

Don't ask me what they we're doing,

All I know is that here are some cousins having the time of their lives.
