Camping

We went camping 4th of July weekend

Or I should say, we attempted to go camping. Maybe day camping is a better description of it.

We set everything up and hung out there during the day, and then it started raining and thundering like crazy that evening.. so after deciding that the storm wasn't gonna let up, we packed everything back into our cars and went out for some nice warm food :)

We had fun while it lasted though. Our campsite was right on the river, it was so peaceful. Utah is just gorgeous. It was nice to sit and take in the beauty (and the girls loved exploring all around).

We'll have to go back again soon when it's warm.

4th of July

(aka Trevor's birthday)

Trevor turned 31 this year, and he said it was harder for him than turning 30 because he's now "in his thirties". It is kinda weird to think about. Haha I love that man.

We had family and friends over for a BBQ and fireworks

The girls kept covering their ears while we lit off fireworks in the street, but they still liked watching them.

And they all loved doing sparklers. Those were a hit.

It was a fun night! Fireworks, food, and birthday goodness. It really felt like summer.

Memorial Day

We celebrated Memorial Day with a family BBQ at Evan and Nicole's place. The Sanford cousins were there too and it added to the fun. We ate tons. Everyone brought a side so there was so much food. Nothing better than good food and good company.

It was a great way to start the summer season.

Easter

We got together with the fam for Easter dinner and an egg hunt.

Those cousins are so cute together, I tell ya. They were all so excited to find their eggs. 

Oakley's Brave Birthday Party

Stephanie put on the cutest Brave party to celebrate Oakley turning 6.

She was so cute all dressed up and she greeted people at the door as Princess Merida :)

Huntington Beach

We spent our third vacation day at Huntington beach (the house we were staying at was only 15 minutes away). It was so nice, like 75 degrees at the beginning of February nice! 

The kids had so much fun and didn't care how cold the water was either.
