Given's Hot Springs (June 1)

We wanted to go camping with our little family this weekend and decided to go camp out at Given's Hot springs. You can camp and swim at the pool, and it was only about an hour away!

We got there; set up our camp on the grass, had a swing set and a picnic table, and bathrooms very close by. Then we went swiming. It was quite a bit warmer than we expected that day. If I remember right, the temperature never got below 70 all night! So swiming at the HOT SPRINGS was almost too warm. but the kids still had fun, and we got some popcicles when we were done.

That night turned out to be one of the hardest camping nights we have ever had... First of all it is never easy with a 1 yr old who just wants the comfort of their own bed, and an almost three year old who sings and tosses herself to bed for hours every night, but doing it in a tent with all of us was horiable.  Chase and Tyler were so good and just layed quiet.

 

Tyler is so good at falling asleep. He can dround out anything, and was the first one to fall asleep and slept all night.  We finally got Zack to sleep, but he woke up around 2, and finally at 3:00 in the morning I took him for a drive because nothing else was working.

 The wind blew all night; it rained, and if the weather and the kids didn't keep us up, the semitrucks driving by did! Then to top it all off we happened to place our tent in direct light of the the super tall lamp post that stayed on ALL NIGHT!!! It wasn't even dark, which is partly why Zack had such a hard night. But in the end we survived. I think we had fun, and we camped again a couple weeks later!



May Birthdays

Zack's 1st birthday...

 Ball...

 Keys... he loves to slime my car keys so I got him a set of his own!

 And of course a truck! Something to push and ride while he learns to walk.

 Then we had Tyler's birthday right after Zack's! Zackery's was born May 10th, Tyler was born on May 12th. So we just decided to have two parties back to back.

 Where are all my pictures?... I was having a hard time taking pictures and video taping at the same time so I gave the camera to someone else and this is all I can find! 

I even made him a cute Pacman cake... where is it? It wasn't easy finding pacman toys. I found a plug-n-play joystick pacman game on eBay that I ordered for Tyler... he loves it, but the only other pacman item I could find was two little ghost tins that had little candies in them at Toys R Us. Finally a few days before the party I was looking around Deseret Industries for fun and stumbled across this Pacman plush toy $.50!! Lucky find!!

Soccer 2012 (5-12-12)

(I don't understand this new blog-set-up... so if it looks terrible, sorry!)

This year Chase did soccer again, and I was asked if I wanted to be the coach again, (if you can believe that); and of course I turned the opportunity down.

 This was his last game of the season. Tory's parents came into town to visit for the weekend so they got to see his game.

 This is a really great shot of him.

He shot three goals in a row that all missed the net, but just before the game ended, his 4th shot went in to

score the winning point.

After the game Tory and his dad and the boys went for a drive...

 I don't remember where they went, it was a little over an hour away... but they got some good pictures.

At the end of the day they were very tired!

Tory's Grandparents (3-24-12)

In March Tory's family had a big reunion in Bancroft ID to celebrate Grandma Hebdon's 90th birthday.

 While we were there we visited Grandma and Grandpa Dimick

I really thought I took more pictures than that. The kids were out laughing at the goats, but maybe that was Amber's camera... It  was a nice visit. We haven't been there since before Camrey was born, so it was good.
