This year the guys yearly backpacking trip happen to be planned the same time we girls were to go to Women's Conference!!  This was Tanners first year to be able to go and was he ever so excited to miss school for three days, the only three days he missed all school year!! We only had to worry about what to do with Brylee.  Thank Heavens for Dad for letting Brylee be his buddy for a few more days, even after having her for over a week, who could get sick of our Brylee!! 
This year was a fairly easy one, so a good first one for Tanner to start with.  They went down to Escalante,  they hiked in many miles, had three different camp sites along with all the hiking around in the slot canyons and so forth.  Tanner said his favorite was what they called the toilet bowl, they had to get wet to crawl down into it. Matt and Skyler also flew in from Iowa to go this year.  All three of my brothers, Jason & Tanner along with Max & Skyler were able to go this year, along with my cousin Tyler.  This is a fun trip for all.  All the guys Spencer knows, they come from all different careers and different personalities.  Jason says they all get along great & have a good time together.  Spencer is the ring leader of it all and who doesn't have fun when Spencer is around anyway?!?!  They say next year they gotta get Lyman and Eric to go, what are the chances of that?!?  Jason is still trying to get me to go on a backpacking trip, who knows maybe an over-nighter, but more then that I will want my comfy bed or big sleeping mat, I think I am getting too old for the hard ground!!

Full Load after shopping at IKEA






























Back for a week then the boys are off to Escalante & the Girls are off to Women's Conference!!  We of course ate at Kneaders a few times and had lots of laughs.  Even though they have a Kneaders here in Layton now, it still tastes so much better when we are all together with the girls in Provo.  WOW as always the Conference was amazing!!  All the talks were great and I felt the spirit so strong this was a such needed trip for me.  I am so grateful for AMAZING Women in my life that let me be me, and help me to be a better me!!  I sure hope ya'll stick around for a long long time, because I wouldn't know what to do without ya!!!

Jr Jazz, Jazz Game & City Creek

We had bought discount Jazz Tickets from the City for Tanner playing Jr Jazz Basketball and got to have a great Family Activity the week we got home.  We drove down early to Salt Lake City for a great parking spot, took Trax to City Creek for a walk around and Dinner then headed back over to the Jazz Game.  With the Jr Jazz Tickets we didn't realize we got a free hot dog and small drink, the drink was nice, the hot dog I think we all only took a few bites because we had already eaten.  Plus I think hot dogs taste so much better camping, I don't know why!!  :)  Jason even caught a small Jazz Ball for the kids!!  That's my Man, a good catch!!!  Oh no!!!  I am getting cheezy!!!

NO FOOD!!!

This is a pretty EMPTY fridge for us, this is what we came back to after being in England for two weeks.  I didn't even think after our flight home Sunday night that we would need bread or milk.  I guess it will be pancakes for breakfast for the return home meal!!
I sure missed the kiddos!!!  I loved England and could have stayed longer, but could NOT have stayed away from the kids longer, we sure missed them!!!  Now back to real life and the routine of everyday life again!!!  Even though we didn't have a meal to make look what else we came home to see!!!  My Favorite time of year, TULIP TIME!!!!  I was so worried I was going to miss them and my tulips would all be dead, but they were all perfect!!!  Home Sweet Home!!!
