Camping Fun

Last weekend we went camping in Logan Canyon. The Bairs, Popes, and Hamms got to join us. 

Maddison loved playing with her cousins. 

Pie Iron pizzas for dinner.

Cute face ready for bed.

Maddison and Olivia's treasures. 

Tony Grove Lake

A little something to snack on while we head off for a walk around the lake.

It was so beautiful...and hot!

The wild flowers were out in full force. 

Taking a snack break while Dad and Uncle Andy change a flat tire. 

We also hit the beach at Bear Lake. Everyone had a blast. 

Including this little one. 

What a great trip!

The Great Butterfly Release

After spending some time watching caterpillars change into chrysalises and then into butterflies we were ready to release them into the wild.

Goodbye little butterflies. 

new concept?

Maddison: "I got in the pantry, found some chocolate chips, ate them, put them away and now I have to ask mom."
Me: "You need to ask me if you can have something before you get into pantry."
Maddison: "oooOOOoooh!"

Trip to Mesa Falls

All ready to go.

Egg-citing!

On Sunday we spotted this little guy peeking out from under his mother. Our eggs (I mean the duck's eggs) have finally hatched! 

Mama duck left to go find food in the afternoon so we got a nice peek at the rest of the little guys. They all stayed cozy in their nest. We opened our gate so they could get out to find water last night and this morning they were all gone. They didn't even stop to say goodbye. I was hoping to see the little fuzzies waddling around the back yard but I guess they were anxious to go find food. 

Wind in her Hair

What a little Idaho wind will do to a girl's hair. 

Saturday afternoon walk. Cress Creek Trail.

Happy 1st Birthday!

SAGE TURNS ONE!

Lazy morning and presents. 

Getting ready for a backyard campfire. 

The birthday girl. 

And this is why we don't have a good family photo. 

"Yeah, that's right. I just turned one."

More presents. Sage is one lucky girl to have so many people in her life who love her. 

"Cake? I'll just have a small taste."

"This is the best birthday I've ever had!"
