planting a tree

We love to plant tree's at our house. When we dug the hole for our newest tree, Eli got very excited and climbed right into the hole. He thought it was the perfect fit and he just loves all of that dirt!

2008 Adventure Vacation Book

I really like to make digital photo books of my family. This is one I just finished from our vacations last year. I try and make one for the family, one for our vacations, one for my mom's family and a Christmas book each year ( we just have that many pictures :). I also make my children a first year book and a book of them every five years.

Fair Food

One of the things I love about summer it eating foods you wouldn't normally let your self eat. I call these fair foods, cinnamon roasted almonds, churros, navajo tacos, just to name a few culinary delights. But the mother of all fair foods for me is...Cotton Candy. That spun sugary goodness that melts in your mouth and all over your hands is just one of the best thing ever...It's neck and neck with my favorite camping food (also it's own food group) perfectly roasted marshmellows.

Pioneer Day Adventures

I'm always looking for ways to celebrate Pioneer Day, the Utah History teacher in me can't pass it up. This year our play group did a pioneer party complete with sack races, we went to a pool party and went to Fort Beunaventura to dip some candles, ride a train, paddle a canoe and milk some goats!

Buck Family Visit

We've had some fun adventures this July!

Brian's brother Richard and his family came from San Antonio for a visit!
We had fun hiking and going to fireworks.

We've got Eggs

Our chickens are all grown up and laying eggs. Hyrum loves to go out and check for eggs (about once an hour). We get any where from 4-6 eggs a day. When we got our first egg Hyrum said we couldn't eat it until we had enough to have an egg party. We had boiled eggs for dinner one night and we asked Hy if it was our egg party, he said, "No we need more people and some games."
