San Frantastic!

At the last minute we decided to go to San Francisco for our 6 year anniversary. We haven't ever gone anywhere for our anniversary so we were way excited. Both of our parents offered to watch the boys so we had 3 whole nights without them. We decided San Francisco seemed like a great place to go because it has lots of sights and it's not really a place that you would want to take you little ones. I am pretty sure that we saw everything that there is to see there and I have the blisters and leg muscles to prove it! We figured that we walked 5 to 7 miles a day, but it doesn't seem that far when you are in good company until later!
Anyways, we went to Alcatraz, Fishermans Wharf, Pier 49, Golden Gate Bridge and Park, Little Italy, China Town, the Ferry Building, Ghiardelli Square, Union Square, and everywhere in between! We had so much fun and I took a ton of pictures, but I narrowed to down to 10 so this didn't get to long!
Thank you to everyone that helped make this last minute trip possible! And Thank You especially to our parents for watching our crazy boys!

Beautiful!

Alcatraz was so amazing and I am so glad we got
a chance to experience it. The first day we got
to San Francisco I tried to book tickets and they
were sold out until Monday and we were leaving
on Sunday. I was so dissapointed but I had a plan.
We stood in front of the line with a sign asking for
tickets and it worked! We found a nice family that
had 2 extra tickets that they sold to us! It was
awsome!

Nice hair right?!

One of my many pictures or the Golden Gate
Bridge. We went on a boat tour that took us
under the bridge and it was amazing!

ferry tower. We went there on Saturday to the
farmers market and had a blast!

with a very old sail boat... I can't remember how old!

4th of July Camping!... without Daddy : (

After enjoying the parade in Murray the boys and I loaded up and headed for Ephraim Canyon to meet my family where they were camping. Tyson had to work over the holiday weekend, so
unfortunately he was unable to join us. After the long drive we finally go there and we had a
fantastic time! My Dad had spent the time that they were camping before we got there making a fort for the boys and let me tell you it was time well spent! They LOVED it! It was awesome and it was next to a pile of snow for fights so it was perfect! Thanks again Grandpa!
We also went down to Mt. Pleasant and enjoyed the carnival and fireworks on the 4th which were awesome! And, last but not least, we did the usual four wheeling and fishing that Cam and I both love! (But Gavin, not so much!) We had so much fun and can't wait to get back to the great outdoors! Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us crash your party!


Gav, Grandpa, Gizmo, and Cam checking
out the fort that my dad spent 2 days
making before we got there. Camden
was so excited and Gav loved it too!

Camden was so excited about his fort!


Someones serious about camping, can you tell?


Gav and Grandpa Mike watching fireworks...
pretty sure he thinks Grandpas CRAZY!!!

Gavin and Uncle Bubba. This is what he did
while we fished!

Camden and the catch of the day!
Camden told his Grandma Joan that he needed to
eat lunch in his fort... and what Camden wants,
Camden gets!

4th of July Parade!

Bright and early on the 4th we drove down to Murray to go to the parade with Tysons family. Camden loved it and I think that we have enough candy now to last until Halloween!

Cam and the firetruck

Cam and Bray waved to every "princess"

Gavin seriously showed no emotion through the whole
parade! Everyone said that the caption for this pic
should be "you seriously woke me up for this!"

Chuckie Cheese Please!

For Fathers Day Tyson's parents gave all of the dads a fishing trip to Flaming Gorge, so Tysons mom decided to take all of the moms and grandkids to Chuckie Cheese. Cam and Bray had a ball
and the three little guys had fun watching the show and eachother. Here are a few pics!



Cam and Bray on the motorcycles

The boys. They loved watching the show on stage!


Tauni being crazy!

Melon Head!


Gavin LOVES watermelon! He would probably eat it all day if I let him! I love my little summer man!

Way too much fun!

The last weekend in June we went boating/camping with our friends the Watsons and we had a blast! We went to Gunnison Reservoir which is a tiny lake, but we were only 1 of 3 boats on the
lake the entire time we were there! It was so much fun going with these guys because not only
to Tyson and ! get along great with April and Eli, but Camden and Gavin both have friends their
age to play with! Thanks again guys! We hope that we get the opportunity to go somewhere
with them again very soon!


Me surfing! I have no idea what I am doing!

Ty surfing with Cam! Probably the highlight
of the trip!



Ty was able to surf without the rope

Gav chillin' in the boat. Yes we have a life jacket
for him... but it wouldn't zip up!
