Is it worth all this packing?????







Our first night up here.
Totally rocked. 
 Looks like we have issues.
Esp. Rex, when he's impersonating S.C. guy who claims he saw Sasquatch. 
{And he did.}
"He was ten fooooooot tauwwlllll"
{Tell me someone has seen this you tube video???? we love it!}

 I get to celebrate my birthday with my whole family up camping every year.
 (except last year. I was delivering sweet babes Korver) so, minor setback there....
 ...but Rexy REALLY made up this year,for that missed celebration.....
it deserves a seperate post, to come later
cause ya know...
I'm like way behind
 in blogging.
hence all the rewind posts.....
Anyways....back to celebrating.  
My mom always has tried to make sure my birthday was never forgotten or pushed over because of camping...and now, I really love that I get to spend it in the mountains, away from everything and being surrounded by my family.
We had a yummy steak dinner that night, and some delish cake. 
My mom is fantastic.
Just wanted that noted. :)
~ Korver LOVED playing in this box.
 ~ And I loved that he did.
~ Kept him clean!

Oh how his Aunts LOVE the heck outta him. 
Who wouldn't?
He kinda melts their hearts. :) 




Cam could lay in dirt and drive tractors ALL.DAY.LONG if I would let him........


Well, he'd do that till he heard this start up....
Then he wants the REAL toys....
We all do. :)
Once the kiddos were tucked away.
Rex and I snuck away.
On our own 4 wheeler ride.
I love times like this.
{We saw this GORGEOUS sunset}
and
{then headed deeper in the mountains}
and
{we saw the moon so much closer than I've ever seen}
Incredible.


Sleeping on the top bunk is a FAVORITE!!  


    Meet Freddy.
   Gross.
    I hate these.
    Cam LOVES them.
     I love Cameron. 
Its a love-hate relationship.

Cam is waiting for Freddy to eat his breakfast. (the stick) 
{I'm thinking Freddy wants some of that hot chocolate left behind on Cameron's face.}


Who wouldn't love camping, when they get to see this happy lil boy every morning?
Oh wait, we see it even if we aren't camping. :)
Still......makes camping that much more pleasant....right?

I LOVE camping too! Where did you guys go? Love all the pics, and I'm thinking you should have video recorded Rex's impersonation of the Sasquatch guy. I'd love to see it! Good times Girl! Can't wait to see what he did for you birthday! Keep the posts coming!

What a fun camping trip! Your family seems so fun and happy. I love it. And those little boys of yours...they just could not be cuter!

Gross on the closeup of the insects. Nasty! Glad you had fun camping. I wish we could go up together and camp with you guys. It would be so fun. I remember the time we went with you when we lived in Logan. So fun and lava is awesome!

Camille said...

oh wow! GORGEOUS pictures! Looks like you guys had so much fun. I can't get over how much you look like your mom in the pic of you 3 on the 4-wheeler!

Glad you had fun! (and Happy Belated Birthday!)

You're right! Your mom is fantastic! Too bad she doesn't have a groovy dress to wear to school!

Love the pictures of the sunset and moon! How fun that you can go camping to the property. Your kids will have gret memories.

P.S. Julie,
Can you email me the picture you took of the 4 of us playing rook that night at your house? I need it asap for my scrapbooking. Thanks!

My goodness, you've got yourself SUCH a cute fam, it gets me misty-eyed! I'm SO glad I got to see you guys yesterday even though it was quite brief!
It does look like all your packing for camping was worth it :) Not to mention how grateful I still am that you broke away the second time for my temple day. Thank YOU a million again!

And it's true, your mom is fantastic & you are already following exactly in her footsteps! I love your fam, you guys are always havin' such a blast.

Oh & don't even worry, you are SO invited to go with me on any traveling I happen to do :)

Love you muches muches more!!
