It's amazing what you find while cleaning!

I was cleaning when I came across Jeff's old camera that he had when he was on his mission. I was surprised to find some pictures and videos that he had forgotten about. This video made me laugh. This is what missionaries really do! ;) Jeff might kill be when he finds out this is on here, but I couldn't resist!

The Whetstone Campout!

Every year my family goes camping. It is a fun tradition that we look forward to every summer. It's fun to see our family grow each year and to be able to spend time together as a family. I love to see the excitement in the grand kids eyes as they find new things to explore and do while camping! We always leave with wonderful memories and I'm grateful that my parents started this tradition.


Madi is helping Grandpa put the trailer up. She would copy everything that he did.


 First attempt at s'mores! I guess she likes them black.

Matt and Kari


She is very excited about something! I love this picture!



The S'more dance! I love this picture!




Monkey see, Monkey do!

Ahh.. bears!

She loved playing in the tent!

Getting ready to conquer the river! Let me just tell you the water was SO cold, it was tons of fun to go down though!


See ya!

Kari and I! Don't ask! ha ha..


July!

We love July, because it means BBQ, parades, and fireworks! This year the 4th was on a Monday, but we started celebrating on Saturday. Yay! On Saturday we went to Jeff's Grandma's house for a BBQ. It was fun to see his cousins and enjoy some yummy food. On Sunday, Jeff's dad came into town so we spent the day with him. That night we enjoyed a wonderful firework show put on by the bro-in-laws! On Monday, we went to the Layton City parade. This year was extra fun because both of our families came! After the parade, we spent the afternoon with my family. We love being able to spend time with family and are very grateful that we live so close to them. I hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day!
