Prep for Yellowstone!

So this year for Hunter's Birthday, he says he want's to go camping! So we are going as a family to Yellowstone in August! I took the kids walking with me just around our neighborhood to see how in-shape they were.... Oh my GOSH!!! We are doing weekly hikes to prepare for Yellowstone!
This is a cute hike our friend Christy told us about! It's in Pleasant Grove up Battle Creek Canyon! It was super simple but still gave the kids a work-out! And it always helps to have some sort of destination to hike to. They loved the waterfall! My sister Shelby came with us and took pictures! She is not our official picture taker! Thanks Shelbs!

Happy Birthday my Hanna girl!

This last month went by so quickly, I haven't had a chance to wish our little Hanna a Happy 4th Birthday! She had a DANCE party and invited all her best buddies! Everyone she asked for got to come (except for a few boy, I don't blame them, it was pretty girly) We had 14 kids there total! WHEW! That was CRAZY! We did every dance from the Hokey Pokey to the limbo! Haha, that one was pretty interesting!

All the girls..and boys, waiting for cake! Hanna and her cousin Jordynn!
Jon's getting the cake ready! The frosting kept slipping off the cupcakes! I was trying to be all good cookish by putting the cupcakes in a baggie and letting the sweat keep them moist. Little did I know it made them slippery! So much for trying!
Well, she wanted a Ballerina cake, This is the closest I got!

THe kids had a lot of fun with the limbo but we just could not get them to bend backwards.
They colored as the waited for everyone to arrive!
Ugh and this is my stupid camera that won't focus on it's own anymore. Anyone know where I can get a good deal on a nice camera? I am fed up with this. This would have been so cute!
So just a side note, we decided to get Hanna's tonsils out this last week:( She was having trouble sleeping and had some voice problems too. She got them out last Tuesday and can I just say what a tough girl she has been. I was such a baby compared to her! I know adults are supposed to be way worse but she was out riding her bike and running at the park that same day! She refused to take any medicine and just toughed it out! The only part that has been horrible is her poor breath. I guess I would have that problem too if I had big scabs lining the back of my throat! Ohwell, all better now and she sounds like a different Hanna!

Hunters Graduation!
Hunter Graduated from Kindergarten this year! We had our doubts whether we should put him in or not but decided to go for it and he did great! We did have to just over some hoops at the beginning with behavior issues but he passed that phase quicky and is doing fantastic at his reading and math! Oh and can I just say he had the best teacher in the world! He's so excited for next year! AHHH I can't believe I have a first grader!


Mrs. Jeppson is truly the best Teacher for Hunter! She worked so much with him and we just loved her!This is Hunter refusing to smile for me
That's better!

What a handsome guy!
