Camping Trip

So, this was supposed to be the summer that we were going to go camping all the time. My kids are old enough, meaning I don't have a baby and I'm not pregnant, which would make it easier and more fun. And it turns out that we didn't go all summer until August. Isn't that how it always seems to go? Busy, busy,busy. The one good thing is that we had an awesome camping trip with all the Batty's. It was really great. We went to Carter Creek, just off of Flaming Gorge. We camped by a little creek where the boys caught so many fish, it was unreal. We had a great time relaxing and the boys had a blast getting dirty. I mean really dirty. Here are a bunch of pictures from our trip.

Jacob, Kamren and Caleb showing us all how dirty they are

The boys loved seeing all the fish daddy was catching

(I didn't get any pictures of Sam because she didn't want her picture taken.)

Hopefully next year we can make it camping more than we did this year.

Introducing Katrina and Jon Larsen

(This is a picture of the Batty's not Larsen's)

My sister Katrina finally got married to Jon Larsen on Friday July 31, 2009!


We are so happy for them. Here are a lot of pictures for those of you who live in Florida (or elsewhere) and couldn't be there :)

All of the little boys giving their hugs. It was so cute how excited Jacob was to see Katrina when she was married. According to Jacob, after you get married you kiss 20 times.
