Rigby Lake Camping

I have been wanting to do a camping trip to Rigby lake since we got our camper so we were finally able to go with our friends the Elders and Christensens.  

We stayed two nights and had so much fun.  I just absolutely love how much my kids love and get along with their kids.  It's the absolute best!

Ella & Bree

Not to mention we always have the BEST meals!

The little girls and their sandcastle building competition...
Molly, Hollis, Kherrington, Acadia, Mauri, Alissa, Tinley & Grace

The Hawaii temple castle..


And these two buddies are just about my favorite because they play pretend from sun up to sun down and generally have one quick tiff in the day and they are off.  They are the best of friends and I sure love that!

18th Wedding Anniversary

We have been pretty lazy about our anniversary celebrations.. well honestly we have either had a new nursing baby or I have been pregnant for many of them so we just decide to stay home and go to dinner but this year I decided to book us a cabin.    We went to Sheep Falls on our way to the cabin and it was nice to be outside on a small hike and be together.





We enjoyed sitting on the hot tub, rowing in the canoe and eating out at Cafe Sabor that evening.  The next day we headed to Yellowstone National Park to specifically see Mammoth Hot Springs.  Here are some cool pictures we got along the way..





There were quite a few people from all over the world there so we were sure to wear our masks anytime we were around groups of people to be safe from the COVID.


A quick picture without masks.




It's surprising how much quicker you move without 5 kids saying they have to pee or fighting or they are hungry or bored.  We cruised through and saw lots of cool things and just hopped in and out of the car.  It was fun and a good break to then come back and squeeze our little babies.  We are blessed to have them and especially blessed to have each other.  It's been such a good 18 years.  Dustin has provided us all the best life ever!!  I couldn't ask for anything more.

Sunflowers & Huckleberries

At the Wild Corn Maze they planted a bunch of sunflowers this year.  I heard it on the radio and we had to go check it out.  It was pretty cool.  The kids had fun on the zipline and we enjoyed taking pictures 








After the sunflowers we headed up by Kelly Canyon to find some huckleberries.  We hunted for about an hour and got about 1/2 cup total.  lol.. It's the memories that count.  I am so thankful for my friend Farrah and the adventures we have together.  She is one of a kind!
