- fun trip to Cedar City to visit Korby's dad
- Jackson's birthday (sorry kid!)
- 4th of July neighborhood breakfast and bike parade
But..... that is all in the past. For the 4th of July we had a fun neighborhood breakfast and bike parade (as noted above), but later that day we went to the Sandy City parade and then went camping with some family. We had a great time and it is soooo... fun to have pictures to remember it by!
The kids loved waving their free flags at all the cars and floats~ especially the ones that were throwing out candy! We weren't by very many other little kids, so our kids cleaned up with all the free candy!
Tanner had a bit of a rough day. He had a bloody nose on and off almost the entire day, and he threw up that morning. I think we changed his clothes at least 4 times that day. But he was a trooper and still had a lot of fun!
We went camping in the Spruces and the kids absolutely LOVED it! It was a LOT of work to only be up there for less than 24 hours, but worth it in the end. 
To bring back some memories of girls camp, I braided Shayden's hair. It was so nice to have it out of her face, and not a tangled dirty mess. Best of all, she liked the way it looked when we took them all out!
While all the kids and adults were involved in a game of kickball, Jackson was having so much fun looking at all the bugs and rocks! What a little boy!

Now that I am a mom, camping isn't my favorite thing to do. It is so much more work than I ever realized. But once we are there, it is always fun and we always have a great time together.

I agree...camping with kids changes everything. I used to love spur of the moment camping trips (the one-nighter kind that you did), but now I almost insist we go for at least 2 days so it makes all the work worth it. So glad you have a camera now! Oh--and tell Korby we loved seeing he and Tanner's picture in the local paper!
That parade looks like so much fun! And I can't believe how BIG Jackson is getting! Happy birthday to him!! Way to go, Camper-Mom! One of these days Bryce will plead hard enough that I'll give in... and then I'll call you for all your camping tips! :)
I am so glad that you like your new camera. The pictures look amazing and I can't wait for you to play photographer during out family trip. Now that you have your camera you better keep up with the posts!
Those pictures are beautiful!!! AND Yes, I cannot believe how big Jackson is, CRAZY!!! Can't wait to see you next month!
