Currant Creek 2015

We camped up at Currant Creek this past weekend. It was the first place we ever went camping as a family, so we were excited to head back there. As you can see its absolutely beautiful.

The campground had a small park and the kids loved having it right across from our trailer. Hardly anybody was camping so the kids pretty much had free reign.

They rode their bikes a bunch. Cambree is loving and doing so well riding without training wheels! Benton taught her before he went on a business trip and she learned pretty dang fast!

We took a drive and saw a bunch of deer. It is such a pretty place.

The next day we of course took the kids fishing. They only caught a 2 inch fish. Bummer. My brother also made it out to stay the night with us. They love their Uncle Tom!

The best part of camping for me is relaxing. I was able to take a much needed nap with Lincoln one day and it was fabulous!

The girls wish we could stay longer but 2 nights is all we can do with school.

Until next year, Currant Creek!

Utah State Fair

Our annual visit to the State Fair was a success.  We rode rides, ate yummy food and went to the circus.  It was the first time the fair had a circus and it was pretty incredible.  I would go back just for the circus.  My girls were in amazement and so was I. Benton was out of town, so he couldn't join us. There's always next year!

The circus didn't start till 7pm and ended about 8:30. They were exhausted but stayed awake and LOVED it!

It was a fun night for the fair. Perfect weather and with great company. Until next year...

Silver Lake

Yesterday we decided to go on a scenic drive up Guardsman's Pass and we ended up at Silver Lake.  We are loving how close we are to so much beauty.  Utah really is breathtaking.  We were high up enough we could see our little Heber Valley. The sky wasn't as clear as it usually is because of the fire that happened last week but it still was a breathtaking view.  Loving all the fall colors too.

We saw a female moose off the trail at the lake.  The girls just loved running around.  It was the perfect Saturday.

Lincoln at 4 months

We went to Lincoln's 4 month check up today and all went well.  He is 14.8 lbs (22nd%) , 25.25 inches long (41st%) and his head circumferences is 16.75 inches (69th%).  He is a healthy little guy and had no concerns.

He still is sleeping so very well.  Goes to bed between 8-9pm and wakes up usually around 3am to eat and goes back to sleep till about 7am.  He still naps in the morning for 2-3 hours and takes another long nap in the afternoon.

His doctor said between 4-8 months old he wants us to feed him whatever we like.  Everything is a go, including strawberries, peanut butter, shellfish and eggs.  Everything they once told you to wait till they were older is supposedly ok now.  Our doctor said that they found that if they were allergic to something that they would be no matter at what age and it's better to catch a reaction while they are younger rather than older.  So next we will try baby food and see how he does.  We fed him rice cereal and he seemed a little unsure.

He still loves bath time.  He however thinks he should be sitting up, rather than laying back in the tub.  As soon as he can sit up on his own, then he will be in a big tub rather than this little one.

He loves to roll from his back to his belly.  He's mastered it but is still working on going from his belly to his back.

He seriously is the happiest baby ever.  So easy and just chills out.  We sure do love our Lincoln babe!

First Day of Kindergarten

Cambree was so excited to start Kindergarten today.  I woke her up at 6:45am to get ready.  She looked shocked that I was waking her up, partly because we never really have.  She ate breakfast a bit too slow, I had to keep reminding her to eat.  I guess I might have to wake her up a little bit earlier from now on.  She rides the bus with some neighborhood kids and honestly she was almost more excited to ride the bus than go to school.  Her bus picks her up at 7:40am and she rides it for an hour...I hate that she's on the bus that long but I don't think she minds one bit.

When I picked her up from the bus at 11:40am, I asked her how school was and her reply "It was boring.  We didn't even play or anything." So I'm not sure how much she's actually going to like it...hopefully it gets better.  I think she'll like it more once she meets friends and gets into the groove of things.  She sure did look old getting on the bus.  Love our Cam cakes.

Nanny's in town!

Our Nanny Linda came and stayed with us last week and of course the kids loved it!  Her and Papa Tony moved full time to Arizona which is hard for us all since in the summer we saw them at least twice a week.  It was a short visit but we all loved the time we were able to spend with her.

We were able to do some fun things while she was in town.  One day we took a stroll at Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon and it did not disappoint.  It was absolutely beautiful.  We took a picnic and let the kids run around.

Another day we headed up to Park City and shopped for boots for Cambree.  Let's just say shopping with three kids isn't a breeze.

And we also headed up to Sundance and walked around for a bit and got a snack.  It was such a beautiful day outside.  The mountains really are something else.

Sadly she had to go back home, but we are hoping for another visit soon, love you Nanny!
