Adams Canyon hike

I had intentions of doing this hike a couple of times this summer.  Instead I waited till that last day of summer.  It was a lot of fun.  It was hard work.  We got up at 6:30 so we could beat the heat.  I am so proud of these kid do's.  It wasn't short and it wasn't easy.  It was so great!

Beautiful.

Annual Antelope Island TREK!

We did it again!  It is so much fun to go out there and see the buffalo.  This year we walked out to the water.  It was fun, but a LONG walk and very windy.  The kids loved it.

Always a party

NYC

Colin and I just made a quick trip across the country to visit our FAVORITE city.  We haven't been here together in 5 or 6 years, but we both come here every year!  It's just with other people.  We had a great time!  

Carlos put a bakery in the City.  Good thing cause I don't think I could have gotten Colin out to Hoboken.

Lobster tails are so YUMMY!

Colin agrees

Love my man!

We met Gary and Denise for our whirlwind trip.  Colin had dinner reservations at 11 Madison for us.  It was the most amazing dinner experience I have ever had.  20 course meal.  WOW!!  

Beehives

This is worth posting about.  I was just put in the Young Women's.  I haven't been in here since I was a young women!  This should be a lot of fun!  Three of the cutest beehives I have ever seen.

11 years old!

Ruth Wright turns 11 year old today!  Some one tell me how this is possible?  She is sweet, smart, talented, busy, and my little buddy.  I am so glad to have her as the oldest of my children.  She is a grew example and a born leader.  I am so proud to be her mommy.

She is the best big sister to her little sisters.  They love and adore her.  Sometimes I think they like her more then they like me!  I can see how that would be, she is fun to be around.

I love you GOOF!

9 years old!

Today this little man of mine turns 9!  I can't believe how fast the time has gone.  He is sweet, and tender, smart, and always in a hurry.  He is JUST like his daddy.

He came to me in the the middle of the night.  The doctor had to use a vacuum, and I think his dad was freaking out.  He was a sweet little baby, and he made my life complete.

I love you Hank Wright.

I'm so excited to see what this guy does with some pads on this year!  It is going to be a party.

Birthday Party of the CENTURY!

Every year we combine Ruth and Hanks party to have the biggest and most awesome party.  It was a hit as usual.  We have begun a tradition with this party so it doesn't change much from year to year.  The sad thing is, my kids change MUCH from year to year.

My sweet sister did this AWESOME cake for Ruth

Harmons did this cake for Hank.

We orded Kona Ice to come to deliver unlimited snow cones to the crew!

They let the birthday kids make the snow cones for a little bit.

Big blow up water slides

Confession

My confession is I am a bum cheek addict!  I love little bums:)

This little bum is at the top of my list!  

Park City Soccer Tournament

We spent the weekend in Park City for a soccer tournament.  I am sad to say that the pictures that were taken in no way reflect what we did this weekend.

…or do they?

This girl is so cute, but boy she keeps us busy.  I think we did just as much Rosie chasing as we did soccer watching!

Ruthie's Craftiness

Ruth has her own sewing machine.  She is often found using that machine to make all sorts of things.  This time she has made matching skirts for her and her sisters.  Once she realized how easy and fun that was she made skirts for all her cousins!  She is so much fun.
