School Begins.......

Well it has been a really, really long time since the last post. Summer went so fast and now school has started. I just had to post these pictures because they are so cute! Sage started school too but was so long that the bus came. I will have to get a picture of her another time. Jade started preschool with her cousin Jake. She was so excited. She kept asking "is it fall yet?" because she knew that was when she would start preschool! I love school!

Raging Waters

Every Year we dance at Raging Waters. This year was Jade's first year! She loved it. The girls both did so great! We had such a fun day playing in the water!

Temple Mountain

It's been a while back, but over Memorial Day, we went down to Temple Mountain. It's kind of a tradition now, and the kids love it. It's usually the first big summer kick off for camping with the Ranger. He did a lot more hiking this year now that the kids are getting a little older.


Here is a shot of favorite camp spot, near Temple Mountain.


This was one of the cool canyons we drove threw, we put on over 90 miles this weekend!


Paxton loves the Ranger, how can you not.


Jade felt pretty special when she got to ride up front with no car seat.


We found this hole in the rock and you would have thought it was Lagoon for the kids, they could have stayed there forever.


This is the view we had from just above our camp.


This was taken on the Little Wild Horse trail loop, the kids hiked 8 miles, they did awesome.


Another shot of the slot canyon hike we did with the kids.


It's always nice when the kids get along and have so much fun together, these two where not asked to hug for the photo, they just did. Almost brings a tear to your eye.


Here is some water we found on one of our many hikes.


We decided you can't keep kids out of the sand, so why try.


Here is another shot of Temple Mountain, it's kind of a cool HDR shot.

Sage is ready to be Baptized

Sage is quite the doll, she is growing up so fast. We can't believe she is getting baptized soon. She had so much fun picking out a dress and absolutely loved having her pictures taken in it. What a cutie. We took these on Sunday at the Layton park.

Baptism dress shopping!!

Baptism dress shopping was seriously so so fun! My mom and Jade came along and of course Jade had to try on dresses too. This first dress was my favorite! But in the end it was what Sage wanted not me! They are all beautiful though.





This is the dress Sage picked!

This is dinner at Olive Garden!

Sage is 8!

I can't believe Sage is eight! It is so crazy! She had a friend birthday party this year, and she loved it! We did the party Friday night before her birthday on Saturday! She had a few friends over for a dinner and movie. We made blankets with them it was super fun! Saturday morning we went baptism dress shopping and then went to Olive Garden for dinner. Sage loves Olive Garden!




Sage wanted a cake from Cold Stone. She doesn't like regular cakes. It was really yummy!






Here is all the girls and their blankets!
