Mother-Son Activity

Bryce asked me to make him some snickerdoodles today.

I told him that I'd be happy to if he will help me.  (Its hard to 

get him to participate in things with me....) So we had a 

good time making cookies today.  And they are yummy!  Oh,

we also made a batch of gluten-free ones so now I am going to

get fat!  :)

Daddy-daughter backpacking trip

 Christa came for a weekend visit and Greg took her on an

over night backpacking trip.  They started at Tony Grove up Logan Canyon

and came back to Smithfield Canyon the next day.  Its about

a 10 mile hike.  This is near the Summit above Tony Grove

about 2 1/2 miles in on the first day.  

 This is something Christa loves doing and Greg was happy

to take her!  Great daddy-daughter time!

 This was part of the trail covered in fossils of roots,

branches, leaves, etc.  

 Next morning near where they camped for the night.

Christa loves flowers and is enjoying the wild flowers.

 Christa's backpack was almost as big as her but she

did great!

 Almost home

 My handsome hubby

 Her shoulders and hips were bruised.  Next time they

will figure out how to pack a little lighter.

 Smithfield Canyon soaking their feet at the 

end of the hike, waiting for me to come pick them up.

Back to technology...

They both had a great time!

First Day of School

Bryce is our only child left at home

which he thinks is great because he gets

so much attention!  Today is his

first day as a Junior in High School!

I'm a little sad to have just one child to send off

to school today.  Tanner moved out last 

weekend to an apartment in Logan and that

has been very sad for me.  He starts school at USU

on Monday next week.  Maybe I will go to his 

apartment Monday morning and take a picture of him! :)

Dating

 Greg and I find ourselves alone more often than not anymore.

The kids are all off doing their own thing (working today). 

He made a picnic lunch for us and we went to First Dam

for a picnic and to feed the ducks.  

He's so sweet!  I love this man!

Marvin & Jenny's family visit

Marvin and Jenny and their kids visited us on their way to

Idaho and Washington yesterday.  However, I forgot to 

take a picture, so Jenny was nice enough to send a picture to

us after they had gotten to Grandma and Grandpa's house.  

Madalyn, Emily, Adrianne and Kaitlyn are such sweet little

girls and it was fun to see them for a few hours.  Since they live

in Texas we only see them maybe once every two years.

Thanks Marvin and Jenny for stopping to visit!!
