Scott's Wedding

2008-12-02T07:14:00.000-08:00

Here's a few pics of my little brother Scott's Wedding this past weekend!

What to Wear Tonight???

2008-10-31T08:54:00.001-07:00

Fox and I had some good laughs this morning while he was going through our Halloween Boxes...

Picking Plums...I LOVE FALL

2008-10-16T16:54:00.000-07:00

Fall never, ever lasts long enough...

Fox's 5th Birthday Party

2008-10-13T21:12:00.000-07:00

Just so everyone knows, I STINK at Blogging. I have told many people, I need to rename this blog, "Steph's Picture Dumping-spot" because that is about how much time and energy go into my blog! So, bear with me...I am really just posting these pictures to keep in touch with our faraway cousins...cause I know how much MY kids love to look at THEIR cousins pictures!

Getting BIRTHDAY MAIL

2008-10-13T21:01:00.000-07:00

There is NOTHING as cool as getting BIRTHDAY MAIL from our Alabama cousins!!!! Fox was IN HEAVEN because he got to open these gifts EARLY and because it was HOT WHEELS STUFF. Coolness. Kirk and Quincy...you guys rock.

SNOW DAY!!!

2008-10-13T20:54:00.000-07:00

My kids heard it was going to snow. "don't get too excited, I told them...it will probably be just a tiny bit...we do NOT need to get out the snowclothes!" Well, I am happy they proved me WRONG! Nothing like a great snow day in early October!

Sunday Fun

2008-10-13T20:48:00.001-07:00

This is the kind of thing my kids like to do on a Sunday afternoon....make Fox into IRONMAN using an old fan box and construction paper...

Fox and Mom

2008-10-08T19:56:00.000-07:00

We took the kids hiking for family night on Monday afternoon, it was BEAUTIFUL!

Fall Hike with the Kids

2008-10-08T19:32:00.000-07:00

They Pulled it Off

2008-09-08T20:20:00.000-07:00

Here's the plan (scott tells me...) We'll leave Sunday morning first thing after sacrament mtg. for Jackson and we'll summit Monday morning and be home Monday evening for dinner...

WHATEVER. "I'll see you Tuesday night." (I say.) Well, they did it. I still don't know (and dont' want to know) how, but Scott left Sunday morning, climbed the Grand Teton, and was home in Bountiful for dinner on Monday night. Craziness.

Heading Down from the Top

Havin' fun with Balloons at Nate and Deb's House

2008-09-08T19:42:00.000-07:00

Deb runs a preschool in Jackson and so she had SOOOO much cool, fun stuff for the kids to play with...including these balloons. The kids were floating on a cloud and never wanted to leave!

Scott and the kids Huckleberry picking...

2008-09-08T19:41:00.000-07:00

Tree Stars

2008-09-08T19:40:00.000-07:00

Riv and Fox picked "tree stars" in the forest

Fox and Steph

2008-09-08T19:37:00.000-07:00

What a dreamy day...I love that my little guy still loves to cuddle with his mom!

HUCKLEBERRIES!!!

2008-09-08T19:36:00.000-07:00

This was the name of the game on this trip and this ziploc bag of huckleberries was the combined effort of about 8 people picking for about 3 hours! MAN, was that cobbler just incredible, though!!!

Sage, Asher, and Riv Huckleberry Hunting

2008-09-08T19:35:00.000-07:00

Scott Huckleberry Hunting

2008-09-08T19:34:00.000-07:00

Scott was amazing...I think he picked 80% of our huckleberries. This was truly a LABOR OF LOVE. To pick a small handful took about a half an hour and it was VERY DIFFICULT to NOT pop the tasty little morsels right into your mouth! We were trying to pick enough for a huckleberry cobbler...

Fox and Mom hunting for huckleberries...

2008-09-08T19:33:00.000-07:00

Fox and his frog buddy

2008-09-08T19:32:00.000-07:00

Frog catching is the #1 activity for all the kids

Riv was in Heaven

2008-09-08T19:30:00.000-07:00

She made up games for all the "little kids," discovered secret beaches, spearheaded canoe lunches and tours...she was amazing...

Breakfast with my Foxy boy...

2008-09-08T19:29:00.000-07:00

Can I just live here permanently?

2008-09-08T19:28:00.000-07:00

We could make it work...homeschool the kids, life off huckleberries and fish...read all day while the kids play and make up games on the beach...

The Girls!

2008-09-08T19:26:00.000-07:00

Deb, Wendy, Steph, and Jessica...yes, Deb is 8 and a half months pregnant. She is hardcore, what can I say?

Leigh Lake Canoe Trip

2008-09-08T19:25:00.000-07:00

Dreamy, Dreamy Family Fun. Life in a canoe is best!

And, the other side~

2008-09-08T09:16:00.001-07:00

Fox wanted me to post this!

2008-09-08T09:16:00.000-07:00

He LOVED the snake painted going in one ear and out the other!

Knight in shining...HELMET?

2008-09-08T08:59:00.000-07:00

Fox found this at Dollar Tree and wore it for three days straight...including to Riv's soccer game. Yes, we got plenty of strange looks. It also chafed the front of his chin right off...and he didn't care a bit!

Packing up on Labor Day

2008-09-08T08:58:00.000-07:00

Even though it was rainy and cold, it was a great ending to our wonderful Leigh Lake Canoe trip weekend!

Goodbye Kayak!

2008-09-08T08:57:00.000-07:00

This was Scott's last day with his Glide...there was a sale at Rendevous River Sports on the way back into town and Scott decided it was time to upgrade to a smaller boat....does that mean there's a trip to the patagonia outlet in the near future for Steph???

Nate and Scott coming off the River

2008-09-08T08:56:00.000-07:00

Meeting Daddy at Lunch Counter

2008-09-08T08:55:00.000-07:00

The kids had SO much fun hiking down the trail to Lunch Counter and watching their daddy's surf their kayaks.

Ninja Turtle Face

Hot Cocoa Picnic

2008-09-08T08:53:00.000-07:00

What else is there to do on a cold Labor Day in Jackson? We had a hot cocoa picnic after a rainy bike ride in the church parking lot and through the alleys of Jackson.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!

2008-09-08T08:52:00.000-07:00

Fox got bit between the eyes by a jellowjacket and his face got SO swollen! This is the day after when the swelling had already gone down dramatically. One of the kids told Fox he looked like a TMNT and he was THRILLED!!! He kept looking at himself in the mirror and asking me if his face could "stay like that..." Gotta love kids!

Rivers pulling the bike trailer

2008-09-08T08:50:00.000-07:00

So, since the bike trailer doesn't work on either of our bikes, Scott decided to see if it fit Riv's bike. She was THRILLED and ended up taking all the "little kids" for rides in the parking lot of the JH church across the street from Nate and Deb's house

Riv and her best girlfriend Juliana
