Pioneer Trek Ideas

HERITAGE OF FAITH

Cameron and I are in charge of our wards Stake Youth Trek this year
July 25-28th

That is what has been on my mind for the past couple of months.
I think it is finally coming together..
BUT
If there are any of you out there that has been on a trek or your kids have been on a trek and they did something totally amazing please pass it on my way!!!
I am looking for someone or a couple of people to come (We are not going to Martin's Cove... staying in Utah) for an evening after the first or second night of the trek to give some kind of a fireside... talking maybe about their pioneer heritage, or anything else that you think the kids would really feel the spirit after a day of trekking!!!

New Years Resolution 2012

My New Years Resolution 2012

So this year I wanted to make some resolution but I didn't want to be the ones that I always do...
like lose weight, get organized, read scriptures, attend the temple more!
So I really have been thinking and my thought process as taken me past January 1, 2012.
I have really wanted to do something that I could stick with!
What I came up with was...
 LOVE MYSELF inside and out!
Do the things that I need to do to be happy with me. 
I have this quote on the side of my blog... but I found it in the format that I love!
This is what I am going to do for my resolution.


With loving myself I am doing something small everyday so that I can look in the mirror at the end of that day and say that I love myself.
I can do something small everyday!

ALSO...
RISE ABOVE... NO EXCUSES!!!!!

I am not going to base my happiness or self worth on my SIZE of clothes or what the scale says.
But I want to become healthy not only for me but for my family!
There will be no more excuses!!!
I WILL SUCCEED!!!!

A whole new world....

WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?!


Cole is obsessed with with something new..
CARS 2.
He wakes up in the morning wanting to watch Cars, he wakes up from naps wanting to watch Cars.
He wants to eat his breakfast downstairs watching Cars.
He is hilarious!
So I thought I would get a picture of his first movie obsession!!
He has grown up so much in the last month or so!  His vocabulary has tripled if not quadrupled.
Here are some of his words.  People have told me to write them down... so here goes!

NANA = Banana, or anything in the kitchen that he wants!
Cacker = Cracker
Puppy
Titty = Kitty
Tep Tep = Bird
T.B. = T.V.
Bank = Blanket
Poo Poo = Dirty diaper
CaCa = Stuff I dont him he cant have (aka... medicine, old milk in sippies)
Cars = Cars 2 the Movie
Car = all his many cars that he acquired from his older brother
Theef = wants to use mine or dad's tooth brush to brush his teeth
Tanks = Thanks
Tank You = Thank You
Peez = Please
MINE = what else but MINE!!!
Shoes
Coat
Side = Outside
Vroom = Anything he could ride the mimics an ATV
Mama = Mom.. me or Dad depending on who's attention he is trying to get
Cheese = Camera or picture
Cheese = String Cheese
Dare = Derek
Norney = Courtney
Gama = Grandma
Mamme = Amy his babysitter
Ball
Bo
Sound of a gun = he loves guns.  He thinks everything that fits into his hand like a gun or even close to looking like a gun is a gun and he goes around shooting everything!
Courtney and I were watching the movie I Am Number 4... and when there was a scene of people shooting with lasers he went and got Derek's gun that has a laser light and went in front of the TV thinking he was helping the good guys!
Meer = Come here
Juice = Anything that goes in his sippy cup
Dear = There
Go = wants to drive somewhere

I am sure I am missing a ton!!!

His birthday is in a little over a month so I will make a special post!!!

Hiking Red Rocks of St. George...

HIKING THE RED ROCKS
in St. George

ATTENTION.... OVER LOAD OF PICTURES
I had such awesome pictures and when if FINALLY get around to printing my blog I want all these printed!!!

After the attending the baptism while we were down in southernUtah Derek really wanted to hike some "red mountains".
So after we spent some time visiting Cameron's cousin she told us how to get to an awesome place to hike some red rocks!!!

The kids rans around having a blast... it was so fun to see them just totally enjoying themselves!!!


I THINK THIS IS MY FAVORITE PICTURE AS OF RIGHT NOW!!!!


My four favorite people in the whole world!



Cole totally thought he as one of the big kids while playing and hiking in the dirt!!!

Can I just say that he is the best dad out there!!
I am one lucky girl!!!
This little guy LOVES his daddy!!

Courtney is the BEST big sister a little guy could ask for!!!


I LOVE THE GUY!!!



I would place a bet and say that this is probably the best day of this little guys life!
Run anywhere he want to go, getting dirty, playing and throwing rocks!

Looking at this picture makes me realize how fast time flies!!!
When did this little guy grow up?
He isnt a little baby anymore... he is my little man!

Look at these two guys of mine... look at their walks.  They are identical!!
LIKE FATHER LIKE SON!!!

He was so proud of himself... hiking like his awesome big brother!!!

I think this place was Derek's candy store!!
He was loving every minute of his time here.
When we said that it was time to go he just kept saying, NO NO NO... I want to keep exploring these awesome rocks!

Usually Derek is pretty timid when it comes to new things or things that he isn't really sure of.
BUT NOT CLIMBING...
He couldnt get enough of it!


Here is a narrows that every one of us said that we couldnt do but not Derek... he wanted to make sure he did it.


AND.........

HE DID!!!!
Way to go buddy!

He kept trying to find the highest place he could hike!
I think this was it!  This was with my zoom all the way!
It was so cute to hear from long distances...
SHAYNA...SHAYNA, can you see me?
What a fun day!


He really wasn't sure about shimming throw this whole but after he was done... he thought it was pretty cool!!!




THIS PICTURE SAYS IT ALL!!!!

COURTNEY took this time to take advantage of awesome places to take posed pictures!!!
She was all over putting these pictures on Facebook.





She really wanted to make her way down this hill but neither her or I had the right shoes!!!

This was her highest point!!!
That was clear across the valley from where Derek and I were!

She had so much fun here she is thinking about coming to school here!!!


She wanted everyone to think that she was holding up this mountain...
She is a strong girl... but not that strong

and once again... this picture says it all!

Cameron was in his element.
When we finally got to this place he realized that he came here several times when he was younger with his cousins!
He was having a blast!

He jumped this narrow first from the other side but then of course I wanted him to do it again for the picture!!!

This kid was not wanting to look at the camera!!!
