Anyone want S'more?

Beth (Craig's sister) came to visit from St. George,Utah with her boyfriend, Brian and his 3 boys. They came to our house for dinner along with Craig's parents and rode the 4 wheeler around the trails. Then we had a bon fire and made s'mores. It was a ton of fun! Now we are all showered (we smelled smoky) and ready for bed. I'll post pics when I get them from Beth (my camera battery was charging-darn). I love being outdoors with family, nothing more peaceful. Unless you have boys playing with burning sticks and one boy touches another boy on the arm with a bright red stick and he gets a big blister from it. Not that that has happened before. So peaceful.........Really, nobody got hurt this time and it was very nice & relaxing. Good memories.

Cub Scout Camp

Well, today I went to Cub Scout camp with Eric at the Canandaigua Academy. We had a great time and it wasn't too hot either. We went on a scavenger hunt for Bugs and then listened to a Biologist share some of his favorite Amphibians and reptiles with us. Here are a few pics of the animals he showed us:



Blue spotted salamander


Red Flame salamander



Seth (Eric's friend) & Eric

Afterwards they went swimming to cool off. Here are some pics of them swimming.

The whole Gang (Eric is on the far right)
What a fun day! I'll only be there for a few hours tomorrow. But I'll try to take some good pics and add them to this.

Baseball Champs

Both Adam & Eric's baseball teams won the league Championships this year. We are so proud of them and their hard work. They both had wonderful coaches that taught them a lot this year too. Good Job, boys! I finally got the pictures of their teams to download!!

Dirt Monkey!

I think I need to explain this picture........This is a combination of Emily picking & eating wild black raspberries and playing in the cornfield. Doesn't it mean she had fun though? Good thing she was wearing a 'play dress'.

I love to see the Temple

While In Utah we drove by the SLC Temple. We stopped to take a few pics. Emily loves the song 'I love to see the Temple'. So, I thought it would be good for her to see the SLC temple. She was singing the song when we saw it from far away too. It was a gorgeous day. I love how the sky & clouds look. What could be better than being with my little girl at Temple square? What a sweetie!
Here they are:

Utah 2008

Emily & I went to Utah & Idaho in May to see family. It was great to see her play with her cousins. Last year she was still pretty little and didn't really "play" with them. I hope we can do that more often. Check out some pics from our trip.
