Later that night we had a little birthday dinner for Angie. Casen decided he was done sitting in his camping chair and he should crawl around with it on his back. This is exhausting and he obviously needed a break.

This is how you make smores over a heater, then Jacob busts out his lighter to speed the process along. We can adapt, right?
Tyler and Mandolyn headed up a great hike last week. It was so beautiful!! This is Tyler leading the kiddos up the trail.
This is what happens when your husband is out of town and your 2 year old decides he doesn't want to walk anymore. Gotta love the extra cardio.
Best idea ever!! Mom and Mandolyn put together these hiking ice creams. You make the ice cream mixture, put it in a zip lock then put that bag into a bigger zip lock with rock salt and ice and close it, then wrap it in newspaper and stick it in a back pack. When we got to this beautiful waterfall we ate dinner and then busted out the ice cream. Some of them had to be shaken a little more, but Camden's was totally frozen solid and so delicious!!
Boys can't resist them some water!
Beautiful flowers all along the trail
Case, me and Mom
WaHoo, some summer swimmin!!
Camden playing and having the time of his life with "Auntie Lisa"
I'm pretty sure they went to missing teeth smiling school together.

Me and Lisa
Me and Muscles!! So maybe after forgeting to take the self timer off and having two random guys hold the camera for an eternity until it finally snapped this picture, I stopped actually flexing, but next to Martha I am nothing but soft!! We finally made the decision to run the 24th of July 10K the day before it actually took place. Maybe I should have gone running more than twice in the month before the race. Training??? We had a really good time running and it was so fun to run along the parade route. Thank you Martha!
No body there to take pictures of us running, so me improvised, thank you self timer!! :) I am so grateful for fun friends!
Children's heaven!! We went to the annual foam day with the Stangers. It was so cool and all my kiddos LOVED it!
Bubble bath, or bubble park??

The kids kept saying, "I'm a snow monster!" Yes they were!
Oh pure joy!
Seriously what could be more fun?? (that is keagan in the denim shorts in the center) There was one part that was so deep in foam that it came up to Camden's sholders sitting up tall. Thank you Lehi city for being such a cool place! I'm pretty sure it is what the pioneers would have wanted :)

my baby brother got married!!

The cutest couple!! Their temple sealing was so wonderful, Kelly thought it was the best he had ever heard. Megan looked so beautiful and Adam was so cute! They just looked so happy! What an awesome day!!

My cute friend Tara and Jaeden. We are standing by the photo booth. What an awesome idea!! As everyone arrived they got to get in the photo booth and take four pictures. You could choose black and white or color and could zoom in or out. When they printed there were two sets side by side that had a perforated line down the center with Adam and Megan written at the bottom of both. You tore the two in half and pasted one side in the sign in book with a message for Adam and Megan. It was so much fun!! We all loved this!
Our dear friends, the Wilcock family (Janet's parents) and the Judds

Bedazzled bum :)

My wonderful friend Heather let me borrow her bedazzler to decorate some larger than life undies for my brother and his new wife's wedding night gift basket, anyway, I didn't start this project until late at night and by the time I finished it was really late and my cute unsuspecting husband was already asleep with his work clothes set out for the next day. I just couldn't resist, I snagged his jeans and bedazzled a rainbow heart on his right bum cheak, neatly folded up the jeans and put them right back where he left them. Since he had to leave for work at 5am, in the dark, and very sleepy, I knew he wouldn't notice. Tuesday morning I kept waiting for an angry phone call. He called and text me a several times, but nothing. I finally ended one conversation with, "I love you from the bottom of my heart!!" Kind of wierd thing to say, but he just said, "love you too." FINALLY around 12 he called me and after I said hello he responded, "MARY, WHAT THE HELL!!!" I was cracking up in the golds dressing room all by myself. I asked him how he finally figured it out and he said he went to lunch when he sat down something poked is butt. He sat up and looked behind him to find a rainbow heart, surprise!! He was a really good sport considering he works in construction and has all these tough guys around him all day. I'm sure they were a little perplexed with his wardrobe choice. When he got back to his co-worker he asked, "Have you noticed anything different about me today?" His response was, "You mean the bedazzled heart on your tush?" Anyway, Kelly was laughing about it and agreed that I got him pretty good, he also warned that payback can be painful. We will see. I love having such a fun husband that I can joke around with and be silly with! :)
