Hiking...
The boys and I took a hike this morning for a little fun. We usually go with our friend and her kids but today we went alone. We didn't make it super far because Cam was a little focused on the bugs....imagine that!
This is the only way to take Coop on a hike...contained!!!
Once Cam realized that we were higher than angel Moroni he wanted to go home.
He insisted on wearing his flips on the hike (yes that could have to do with how far we made it!)
But this tells me that it was a successful trip!!!

You've been hijacked!
Sorry for hijacking Cassie's blog but I wanted to let everyone know what Cass has been doing lately but doesn't talk about.
First off she's been sweet enough to join me in getting certified for SCUBA diving! Last weekend we made our final training dives in a place around here called the Homestead Crater. It's a natural made crater filled halfway with 96 degree water so it's like a hot tub but nothing lives in there.
It looks amazing in pictures... but it's not that exciting in person.


The next thing Cass decided to do was to go out and run a 10k. She's been talking about it for awhile so it wasn't all that surprising when she scheduled one with some friends.
Here she is just about to cross the finish line. She did amazing for her first race ever! She beat 150 other racers!

Cassie and her friends... they seemed pretty energized after they were done. They even started talking about doing a half marathon next year!


The numbers. They were pretty excited to be done with it but still wanted momentos of their race. They had a lot to be proud of.


After the race. I showed up at the end with the boys to cheer her to the finish line. The boys kept asking why mommy was running with all these girls. I had to explain over and over that mommy was running a race. My favorite comment of the day came from Cam, "Mommy just ran wicked far!" I guess the boys really do hear and repeat everything we say...
Nice job Cass!
(just don't ask me to join you next time, I hate running...)

More Family...
Life has been super busy around our house with 6 kids and 4 adults but...A LOT of fun!!!
The kids all ready for church
Where ever Rugby is Cam is right there next to him...he wouldn't even leave him alone to watch cartoons!
Leca and Tim went on a day date today so I had all 6 kids so I decided to take them on a hike and picnic.
They loved "exploring" for rocks and other treasures
In the stream...
And of course getting in the waterfall!
They were climbing all over...
Brecky is collecting rocks for all her friends and family to take home to them so she had her little bag out and FULL!
The girlies
Rugby loves pictures so he told me that this was a great shot and to take it right away. Rugby is SO cute and sweet he carried the backpack most of the way home because I was carrying Coop.
This is what Cam was doing almost the whole time...turns out my boy and nature don't really jive! He didn't like the bugs!

Visitors!!!
The Taylors are here visiting! This morning I looked over and I thought these two look an awful lot a like.
The boys are LOVING all the excitement
Check out the hair!
Coop figured out how to unzip his jammies he was so proud he kept slapping his belly and smiling. He's always into something!
