My First Campout

We finally did it. We went camping. This is the first campout since Clint and I have been married, and thus Brailyn's first campout. We had so much fun at Sharp Creek with the Cullumber Ward, even though we were short a sleeping bag, and Momma was freezing the whole night and Brailyn woke up crying at least 5 times (yeah, we were tired). We drove up Friday afternoon, set up the tent, ate some dinner and then made s'mores. YUMMY!

Kid friendly Horseshoes


After our not so good night sleep, we had breakfast and then played games with the other kids. Brailyn really loved playing down by the creek, which made the whole trip worth it. We stayed there for an hour and were one of the last families to head home. We made friends with Hunter and his family and practiced skipping rocks (Momma's record=5).

No, it's not what you think. Her pants got wet, she took them off, and continued to play in the creek. It's dirt.

We were exhausted when we got home, but we're so glad that we went. Here's to the next family campout!!

Random update

So, it's been awhile. Sorry. We're busy trying to find a place to live and actually are moving in the direction of finding a great deal on our first home purchase. Exciting and scary. So much you have to think about and worry. Don't want to make a big, not so smart decision that can have long term effects. But I'm trying to just follow the lead and let go. Turn it over to Heavenly Father to lead us to the right place, having faith that it will turn out for the best. Anyway, we've still been doing the same stuff in the mean time: gym, library (story time is back!!), Sprouts, swimming...Here are some cute pics.


Brailyn LOVES to play the "lele" or "ditar" while I play Primary songs on the piano


Pop-O-Matic Trouble fingers


Playing Candyland (She has actually made it through a couple of times)- The new thing is getting out the games and playing with ALL of the little pieces. But she has fun and it's about the time to start learning board games...

Slug Bug

I don't think I've mentioned this, but it's kinda a cute and big part of our everyday life. Brailyn LOVES to look for Beetles as we're driving. It all started with the yellow VW Beetle that is at the gym most days we are there. So it was always fun to try to find it in the parking lot. And there's a blue one at the elementary school we drive by. Surprisingly we see a lot of them as we're cruising around town. So now Brailyn has become a big car afficionado. I'll tell her what another car is called if she thinks it's a Beetle (no, that's a PT Cruiser) and today we saw an orange Lamborghini in the parking lot. Seriously. So she was excited to tell daddy about the orange "zuchini" when we got home. Ahhh, she makes me smile.
