Tagged

So I got tagged and it has taken me awhile to do this because my battery in my camera was dead and then I charged it and Ryan took it to Alaska. So I finally got the new camera Ryan got before he left figured out. I really do like this tag! Read to the bottom to see if you've been tagged! Then, take pictures of these 10 things in your home! NO cleaning or organizing!

Carseat canopy

My very talented sister-in-law's started making these darling carseat blankets.  You have to check out there blog.  If you want one you can get them at the university mall.  They are at a kiosk right next to pretzel time.  The blog is: http://thecarseatcanopy.blogspot.com/

recipe blog

So last night at enrichment we did a Dutch oven class with some taste testing at the end.  It was so much fun to get new recipes.  It got me thinking that it would be a great idea to have a recipe blog that people could post there favorite recipes and when you get stuck on what to make for dinner you could try out some new recipes.  So I started a new blog it is:  www.16thwardrecipes.blogspot.com  I am not sure if you will be able to post your recipes or if you will have to leave them as a comment and I can post them later.  Let me know if you have any questions.

So I had to make a separate post for all of these pictures.  We all know Daniel is strong, but he just loves to show off!  First he wrestled Ryan Garrett.  That wasn't enough for his ego so on Saturday he wrestled Trevor Bell.  This was a great match.  Everyone on the beach was watching.  Daniel took Trevor down twice.  Bo kept telling the camp next to us to "Send over your best guy!"  It was pretty funny. 

Bear Lake

There are so many pictures on this post that I had to split it up.  Bear Lake was so much fun.  This is something we will continue to do every year!  Ryan and I pulled our trailer to the KOA camp.  Which was a great place to camp.  We were camped right next to FREE miniature golf.  Jake LOVED it.  Ryan and him played for hours while Brooks took a nap.  Ryker came down on Friday night and spent the night and the boys golfed all morning.  They were so cute.  

Ike & Jenny, Ryan & Sara, Bo & Becky, were all staying a 1/2 mile up the road at Bo& Becky's condo.  Some of Sara's friends were up there too.  They were all so much fun.  We spent the whole first day at the beach.  It was the best beach, because it stayed shallow for so long.  The water was pretty warm, too.  The first day we all, or should I say Daniel, the kids, and I all got into a mud fight.  It was so much fun.  I felt like a little kid again.  We tried our best at Skim boarding.  I couldn't quite get it, but Jake was really getting the hang of things.  We took boat rides and was destroyed by the SUUUUUPER MAAAAABLE!  I couldn't believe how nervous all the kids, except Taylor and Courtnie, where.  Then we went over to Trevor and Jamie Bells condo and had awesome dutch oven.  Jamie made the best cobbler ever.  We watched a movie outside and had races.  Taylor Bell is the fastest little girl ever.  Both there girls are amazing.  I still can't get over how many flips and whips and aerials these girls could do. Ryan was so proud that he beat Daniel.  Even if Daniel had already raced twice.  

On the second day the boys took a long razor ride up the canyon while the girls swam at Becky's pool.  Then we all BBQ at Becky's and played games.  It was a blast!

On Saturday we went to the beach again an played for a few more hours before we headed home.  Aubrey was so cute at the beach.  She would play in the sand for hours.  Then she would chase the birds.  I can't get enough of these kids.  They make our life so fun.  I can't wait to go back to Bear Lake!

PARTY!!

I told Jake & Brooks that Kreed, Dillon, and Gage where coming over at 10:30 while Michelle went to the Dr.  This got the juices flowing for these two and they decided, all on there own, to have a PARTY!  
They laid out games, candy, puzzles, coloring and tanagrams.  Jake was quite the host.  He made sure everyone got a turn and that they had plenty of options.  I thought it was so cute
I guess this will happen when you have as many parties as we do.  What party animals!!

These are a few of the games they had to offer!

I cut my hair AGAIN!!!

Great photo huh!  So I called my sis-in-law, Jenny, and told Ryan I was getting a "TRIM." HA!   
Well, it was more than a little trim, but I love it!  It is so much easier to do.
