Cake, Camping, pink hair

My moms birthday was the 20th. We had a little party at her house and I smooshed the cake in her face kinda on accident, kinda not, but then she got me back...good fun. I rubbed my chocolate face on Audree, but she didn't think it was so funny, she cried.

Father and Sons! Clark was able to take Ethan this year with my brother-in-law, Geoff, to the ward Priesthood recognition camp or what ever they are calling it now. Here is their tent.

Ethan liked the fire.

My favorite boys, camping!

This pic is random, but fun. I gave my niece, Lucy, pink hair! She loved it!

Gardening

Clark has been building these big planter boxes to go in the backyard for gardening. He has worked so hard and they turned out great! Soon we will have carrots, cucumber, melons, peaches, oranges, green beans, strawberries, spinach, tomatoes, cantelope! I hope it will be fun for the kids to help us weed and water. I know it will be good to teach them about the earth. Plant a garden and watch it grow

We hope to paint the brick so it will be the same color as the wall.

Sunshine! and Peach Festival

Audree is in a singing and dancing group called Sunshine Generation and she was in her first performance last weekend at the Peach Festival. She did pretty well for her first time on stage.

After Audree's singing and dancing we had a great time playing at the fair and picking yummy peaches! I was so glad that my dad came! The hayride to the orchard with blue ice stained all over the kids mouths!

Ethan had a great time picking up all the peaches off of the ground

Grandpa picked us some good peaches!

Yumm!

This cactus is ready for the prayer.








My sis and her baby. (yes Geoff has a gun)










Me and Ethan. (yes Clark has a gun, too













Clark, Ethan and Rosco. Geoff and Clark had lots of fun shooting cacti with their little guns. This is a little trail in Gold Canyon.

There were too many bugs and rocks on this trail, so next time we will take another trail. At least we had fun being with our family.

crazy ice!

okay, you have to zoom in on this picture! The cube in the middle right side froze with a pillar?! How does this happen? And it wasn't only this one time. I have seen at least three times that one cube in the bunch will have this funky growth, and its not always pointing straight up, it was going sideways last time. weird.

water!

Ethan loves the pool. He does a pretty good job swiming by himself and he loves to jump!

Audree was all over the place and I couldn't get a good picture of her...I bet we will have lots more hot days to go to the pool.

This is Clark dunking Ethan and splashing my sister, Jamie. So funny....

We love Conference!

Clark and I got to go to conference last week. Clark's grandarents live in Bountiful, so we stayed with them and they got us great tickets. We attended the Saturday morning, Clark and his grandpa went to preisthood, and we went to Sunday afternoon sessions. Saturday we sat way high up in the balcony, but Sunday we were front and center on the floor, which was amazing! We were also happy to be able to visit Clark's cousin in Orem and have dinner with them on Friday night (Trav and Shar, you are awesome!).

Clark and I aren't used to weather...living in California and Arizona we dont get snow, ever. Needless to say, we weren't prepared for Utah's freezing cold winter! It snowed the day we left and there was snow on all the mountains. It was so cold and I didn't even bring long pants with me! I am sure the people in the airport were laughing when I got off the plane into freezing weather in a teeshirt and capris. At least I got a little shopping trip in for long pants!
