First Post- Finally blogging!

After reading many friends blogs and spending time contemplating having my own blog, I have finally got mine set up. We will see how often I get on, post and keep up now. I think it will be fun to post constant activities in our lives and to stay in touch with friends and family. Hopefully you will enjoy some our silly stories too!

To start off I had to post a picture of Abigail and her first lost tooth. What is more news worthy than losing a tooth! It wiggled for a long time but it finally came out.

Corbin turned 5 a few weeks ago. We had a great party at the park. They had water gun fights and an egg hunt. It was a fun day. The wind was really strong and blew all the presents away and the cupcakes went flying at one point but it didn't damper his fun. He is thrilled to be 5 and big now!
Tanner and Braden went camping for spring breakwith friends from the ward. I spend a couple of days up there but didn't have a camp site so they went without me. On Friday we all came up for the day, had dinner up there, and joined everyone (a big group of friends from the ward were all camping together) for dutch oven desserts around the fire. There were skits and singing. It was a blast. The youth had a great time hangout out together. Here is Tanner and Braden at the camp fire that night.

Nathan only out to the camp one day since he had spend the week with his cousins, Michelle and Cindy, Uncle Michael, Miriam, and Elizabeth out at Glenrose. They had a fun trip but he got back just in time to have one day out at the camp. His friends Michael and Connor came out with us too. The boys had a great time in the mud and clay. They had a fight in the mud and dug tunnels in the sand.

Abigail and Cassie are best of friends. They want to play everyday and loved being at camp together.

Elizabeth and Chloe decided to be very brave and go in the water. It was fun but a quick trip to get wet. It took awhile to warm up after their brief swim (run into the water, go underneaths and run immediately back out... this was repeated a couple times until there were sufficiently frozen!) As you can see there were no other "swimmers" in the water with them.

This post is about the last month and I am sure I can post many of the things going on in our lives. It will take me awhile to get the hang of this but it will be fun to share our stories! Be sure to share your links with me and help me get connected!

Heather! It was so fun to hear from you! I'm so glad you sent me your blog address. It is fun to see how much your family has grown. Times have sure changed since our days in Provo! When we're in Provo we usually drive past the old house to remember old times. Lots of happy memories! This will be a fun way to keep in touch.
