Cecret Lake

Koby and Emily took us on a hike a week ago up above Alta and let's just say I was not prepared physically due to my lack of working out for the last 13 or so weeks. The girls did awesome and mom finally made it to the top phew just in time for it to be too dark to see the lake so I wanted to go back up and at least keep up with the girls. So we packed up and took fishing poles and the girls made the hike all alone and so did I yeahhhh!! seriously sad:) The girls had so much fun and loved every second of the hike. Bree and Sophie did amazing at fishing and they both tried really hard to catch the salamanders that were everywhere. We had a little critter friend that seriously tried to jump in Bree's backpack full of treats. It was hilarious to watch the little squirrel going crazy, he would not leave us alone and the girls loved it. We thought we would be eaten alive by the bugs but Tom and Bree are the only ones who were eaten by mosquitoes. We had such a great night and the girls loved seeing the Deer up close, salamanders, and squirrels.... but the best part is how worn out they are at the end.

Fun Day of Boating!!

This past week we spent a couple of days at East Canyon and the girls both skied for the first time. Sophie screamed that she did not want to go faster the entire time, and Bree absolutely loved every minute of being out on the ski. Drew and Celeste let us use their cool new ski for little kids that you blow up and helps kids learn. By the end Bree had the ski deflated and was getting up on it like a real ski whaoooo!!

Tom and I like to Pretend we are Photographers!!

My Sister had her little boy Taylor about eight weeks ago and she did not want to pay for pictures (I might be rubbing off on people he he!) so we decided that I would do them so that she could send out some announcements! No laughing I know I am not good but he is really cute:)






























My mom begged Tom to take some pictures of all her grandkids and so finally Tom did take all the pictures... and then it took Amanda a month to look at them and edit them. But I would have to say when it is free you are not allowed to get mad!! They turned out really cute....or maybe I really like all the kids.
