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."

Happy Birthday to Elijah

Elijah Dean Buck turned one year old on 23 June 2009! What a darling baby boy!!

Quiet...Too Quiet...

We camped up at Bear Lake this last weekend, after coming down from hiking in the mountains, I thought to myself that Eli was being pretty quiet, I was rather tired and was relieved for the silence. When we got out to get the traditional raspberry shakes we beheld what are little elf had been so industriously working on. He had grabbed the formula container from the food basket next to him and had proceeded to open it and scoop most of it's contents onto his lap...guess we are going to milk a little sooner than expected.

Brian's Birthday

Happy Birthday Brian! Flag Day shares the honored distinction of also being Brian's birthday. The boys had funny giving daddy pruners for his fruit trees and the emergency potty kit from Steph and Robert was a big hit :)
