Huddy goes to school

The day has finally come. I had to let my first baby go to school today! I always wondered why parents had such a hard time letting their kids go on the first day. I always said that I would never cry when I dropped him off. Well guess who kept tearing up? Yes, it was me. Now I know what all those other parents knew. I had to let someone else be the boss (which is not easy for me!!)

Kaysee was here

Kaysee was here for awhile. I am glad I got to spend the time that I did. Here are some pics from her visit.

Here we are 16 years later than the picture from the ABC's of our friendship. Compare those pics together- big difference!!

Here's our kids + Marshall (our nephew)

Kaysee & her kids came up camping for a couple of days at Pine View

Here are the kids roasting marshmallows

It was good times while she was here. We shopped, ate & camped. What more could I ask for !!!

And our kids had fun together as well. I will make my way to Texas sometime!!

4 Wheelin

We have been doing a little 4 wheelin this summer. It has just started feeling like summer so we have not been camping as much as I would like to but we will take what we can get!

How many boys can you fit into a UTV?

My kids fall asleep to any movement!!

I love America

I absolutely LOVE the 4th of July! The time of year, the food, the fireworks, the freedom. It is my second favorite holiday of the year. I really love that me and my family live in a land that we can do anything we want. I want to say thanks to all of the soldiers who are fighting to keep us safe and free, they have to sacrifice so much for us to have what we want. I also want to thank God for all of our freedoms and for blessing me with so much. Everyone have a safe holiday weekend and give thanks to the man above for allowing you to live in the land of the free.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to an awesome guy! Jon is a great husband and father and I really appreciate all that he does!

I also want to say Happy Father's Day to My dad and my father in law- They are both GREAT papa's to my kids.

Kelly Clarkson in the rain

We went to the Kelly Clarkson concert last week.
It ended up being a lot shorter than I expected. I thought it was a full blown concert of Kelly and then when we got there it was summerfest for Utah Valley University. They had Utah's got talent, and the final 5 contestants performed. When Kelly hit the stage she did a great job, but she only sang for about an hour and I think it was the first concert I have ever been to where there was no encore. It also rained for about 20 minutes, everyone was bundled up and had tarps to sit in. What a lovely June evening!!

Here is our only picture from the night. My mom, Erin, Chylie & me!

Happy Birthday Mom!

You are the best mom ever! I hope you had an awesome birthday!
