Fathers Day Camping

Well after an almost 2 year hiatus from blogging, I realized this is still my favorite way to get pictures and memories documented... so we're back!!! I'll probably do a handful of blogs to get "kind of" caught up, mostly just picture dumps though.

So here we go! This year for Father's Day we decided to go camping. We've actually never been camping just us and the kids, without anyone else. It was a learning experience for sure, but it was such a blast. The kids have not stopped talking about it. We found this gorgeous little mountain lake, and got the spot to ourselves. If you don't camp like this... you're not doing it right! Before we headed home, we stopped for a few hours to do some ground squirrel shooting for a farmer, and then hit up a canyon that we hadn't been to yet. This area never ceases to amaze me. It is SO gorgeous, and we are always finding new and amazing things around every corner.

 

Colton's 3rd Birthday

Having two birthdays on the week of Thanksgiving is proving to be intense. Thanksgiving week this year was seriously INSANE. I felt like we were running full force all week long. And the Friday after thanksgiving not only did Rob and I manage to do some black friday shopping, but it was also Colton's birthday! He felt pretty cool all day, got to hang out at neena's for a few hours while we went shopping, and couldn't wait to open his present and eat his cake :)

Colton is in the 60 percentile for both weight and height, and I think that he loves being the middle brother. He gets along with both brothers so well, and doesn't know what to do with himself if he's every by himself.

Asher's first birthday!

Finally getting Asher's birthday pics edited and on the blog!

I cannot believe this kid is already one! He weighs 26 lbs and is so dang solid and chunky! He is walking and running trying to keep up with his brothers, and loves to jabber and tell stories. He says momma, daddy, nana, and night night. He isn't a picky eater, but he's also not too concerned with food either. He has to be in the right mood to eat anything, which is so different from the other two. He has five teeth, but it working on two or three more. Seriously this kid is such a hoot, and we're so glad he's in our family!

He REALLY wanted the dig into it... but just couldn't bring himself to it.
