Fishing Day!!

Fishing Day!! Need I say more. I hate eating fish, but catching fish is actually kind of fun. We all took a little family day trip up in the Uintahs to go fishing. We all caught a TON of fish & enjoyed the outdoors with each other. TJ decided to float tube the majority of the day by himself, so I don't have any pictures of him but he was with us. The kids thought the day out was the best.

Taylor & I with her first fish she caught. She wouldn't hold it, so I got the privilege of doing so for her.

Addie with her first fish. She was so excited about getting her very own fish.

Taylor & Carter enjoying the day out fishing with the Family.

Addie lounging in someone else's chair. What a cute little thief.

Hadley & Taylor loving Kylee. That poor little baby gets mauled to death, but she always deals with it with a BIG smile on her face. So cute!!!

Labor Day Fun!

We always go up to the cabin in Bear Lake for Labor Day. It is our last hoorah for the season before it starts getting cold. This year Grandpa Carlson talked some of us to go up to this lake in Bloomington canyon. We all decided to pack into the cars and take a drive up there to see what it was all about. After a lot of complaining for the length of the drive from all of us we finally got up there and enjoyed every bit of nature. I think we will make a tradition from now on to go up there at least once a year.

Taylor & her Grandpa Carlson hanging out at the beach.

Little Miss Addie. All the older kids dug a hole to have a little pond where we were sitting. They sent Addie to do the hard work & get all the water for it. She didn't mind one bit. What a tough chick.

Addie & Josh enjoying the sand. The kids usually like the sand more than they like the water.

Our little family on our hike to Bloomington Lake.

Addie with her favorite person in the world (PAPEE). This little girl is such a trooper. She hiked by her self almost the entire time. She Rocks!!!

TJ and the kids at the lake. All the kiddos where excited about the long awaited lake.

After we got their we saw a rope swing. The boys decided to try it out. The girls where a little hesitant because we didn't want to drop into the freezing cold water.

Happy Birthday Taylor!!!

I can't believe our little girl is 5. It has gone by so fast. Taylor is so sweet & loving. She is almost always willing to give a helping hand for any of us. We love you so much Tay. You are such an amazing little girl that is full of life & teaches us new & amazing things every day.

WE LOVE YOU!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Taylor excited about her new Leapster she was begging us for.

The famous doll cake. I am sure this is not the last doll cake I will have to make for my girls birthdays. Taylor wanted Princess Belle. This is the closest thing I could come up with.

All the girls from the Birthday Party. Tay was so excited to have all of her friends over this year.
