I thought I would give it a try, but I couldn't go without my S'more!

It's amazing what happens when you find a stage out in the middle of the forest (It is actually used for girls camps). People just get up and dance.

There was this cold stream right by where we camped that we all enjoyed cooling off in. Conner and Brayden went up to their wastes. I don't know how they did it. The water was really cold, like your feet go numb standing in it cold.

Just a cute shot of Brayden.

All of us but my dad (someone had to take the picture) on this great bridge.

Our little drummer boy. He drums on anything. The floor, table, books, my face...anything he can get to.

We went to the Layton Park for the 4th of July fireworks this year. They were great! Here are all of my boys enjoying their licorice waiting for it to get dark.

Porter was having too much fun to have time to pose for this picture. He was not happy at all.

We went over to my friend Lisa's house tonight to light off some fireworks. Conner loved this huge sparkler. I almost couldn't get him to stand still long enough to take the picture.

My friend Lisa and Porter with a big sparkler. He loved the fireworks. Everytime the firework was done he would stand there and clap for them. It was just too cute.

All of the kids watching the fireworks.

The other day my cousin came over and we were talking out in the front yard. The landlord had turned the sprinklers on so the boys wanted to run through the sprinklers. Well after my cousin left I went to check on the boys in the back yard and found this. They had made the mud and decided to rub it all over themselves. Hey, I hear you can pay a lot of money for a mud treatment. Anybody want one?

Here mom, you want some?

This is just a great shot of Conner.

The only way I could get the mud off of them was to hose them off. Conner didn't mind it too much, but Brayden kept running away from the water. I guess I can't really blame them since the water was probably colder then comfortable.

And then they were able to dry off.

We bought a camping trailer and took it camping for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I love to camp and so hopefully we will be able to go more often with it. I guess I am not much of the roughing it camping type. It sure made it easy with the kids. Brayden took this picture of Conner, Porter, and I.

My friend Lisa and I love going to the pool. This time we went to the Roy Aquatic Center with all of our kids. Porter loved it. It has this little area that we could just sit in and enjoy ourselves. Porter thought he was pretty big being able to be in the pool without mom holding on to him the whole time.

This is Ethan, Conner, and Brayden enjoying the water. It was so much fun.

The whole crew of kids.

Conner and Brayden were sword fighting. Next thing we know Porter went and got this little sword and joined in. He was jabbing and everything.

We asked our landlord if we could plant a garden in the big dirt area in our backyard. He said that was fine, but that he had sprayed to kill the weeds and so we had to bring in some of our own dirt. As you can tell the garden isn't very big, we only planted 2 tomato plants, 2 green pepper plants, 2 squash plants and 1 watermellon plant. Conner loves to go out and water it every day. It was such a fun project even though it may not produce a lot of vegetables.
