Hiking Pleasant Grove Falls

We decided to explore some of the area we haven't yet. Being in Provo area for nearly five years we have never been to the Pleasant Grove Falls. Very pretty. The hike was about 1.2 miles and the kids did great!
Madee wanted to run threw the water under the falls.
We crossed a bridge on the way to the falls.
Past the cave.
Sam was heavy or I'm just out of shape. Probably both. We had fun though it was very pretty.

Camping trip gone sour or did it??

Everyone in the tent!!

Its Memorial weekend and we really wanted to go camping and told Madee that we would go. Well we go to find a site and they filled up way too quickly so we promised her a camping trip for another weekend. We ended up going to Ikea and getting a little play pop tent for her. She slept on her bedroom floor in this tent (all night). How will I ever get her to sleep in her bed again??

Photo Shoot

Kaytie my younger sister helped me take some pictures of the kids at the park. It was fun but some of the time they just didn't cooperate!
Sam loves the wood chips.

These are a few of my favorite things!!

Having my sisters so close and being able to get together and have BBQ's with them!!
Watching my little boy run excitedly toward dogs to pet them and listening to him talk more and more everyday!
Seeing Madee use her imagination and watching her get along so well with good friends.
Seeing Sam's hair now that he no longer has to wear his helmet anymore!
And My most favorite thing of all is this!!

Racing For a Cure

We really do have Lincoln to thank for this race. Novell is the company Lincoln works for and they registered 40 spots in the Race for a Cure 5k in Salt Lake City. This is fighting to stop Breast Cancer. So Lincoln got us in the race for free. Complementary of Novell.
Tricia is the Sister I have done tones of running with but not in the past couple years ever since she moved to Kearn's/West Jordon :( The Same sister I did a Marathon with. Running with my sister was so great to be able to do again. It brought back alot of great memories. It made me want to run more.
This race has tones of runners every year. We are talking around 17,000 walk/runners. It was insane. The Streets were filled and we were the middle of the mob of people.
We really did have the best time though. Thanks Lincoln for arranging this. It was so awesome.

Sam Turns One year Old

So no kid should be sick on their birthday. Poor Sam was so sick the night before his birthday and then all day until about 4pm. He was on the mend but poor kid you can see his rosy cheeks and he did not get to try the cake because we were worried about the effects.
He had a great birthday besides that. He loved the wrapping paper the most of coarse and his big sister helped him unwrap his gifts, blow out his candles and play with his new gifts.
He got a little Tonka garage. (I picked it because it folds up and is portable and small)
It was suppose to be a train cake. It fell apart in the pans and you can barely tell its a Train. Oh well better luck next year.
Sam Liked the candles. All in all He had a pretty good day. Its funny how you could skip the first birthday all together and they wouldn't really know. He was so oblivious that it was his birthday. Madee was way more excited about it. Anyway Happy Birthday my cute baby Boy. I can hardly believe its been a year since you joined our family. We love you and hope you have many more joyful birthdays.

Go Cougars

We went to our first Game of the year. Sam likes Baseball. It was really fun.
Madee would sit for a while but popcorn helped her last longer. We made it through half a game before they were ready for bed.

Sorry we had to leave early Lincoln. I know you like watching the whole game. Maybe the next game.
