Monte Cristo in the Trailer! ♥

So I never thought we would own a camping trailer. Haha. But I am learning that I should never say "Never." I end up eating that word over and over again.

The kids love to camp. We went camping in Bear Lake a few weeks ago...in a tent...and it wasn't my favorite...at all.

Anyway we decided that the only way we (I) would enjoy camping would be in a trailer, with a bathroom and a bed. So we spent a couple weeks looking at different ones and finally found the ONE on KSL. Wahoo!!

We had so much fun!! 
The kiddos helped me get dinner ready.
We were all so hungry and it tasted sooo good!
****
We followed it up with s'mores
Dirty girl!
She loved playing in the dirt.
We gave all the kiddos a warm shower in the trailer before bed.
They needed it! Especially this one.
In the morning, the kiddos helped Markham put cinnamon rolls in the dutch oven.
They could hardly wait for them to cook.

Frosting time!! YUM
It was a beautiful campground.  The kiddos loved riding their scooters on the paths
 They also spent a lot of time working on their hula hoop skills.
They loved roasting hot dogs around the campfire
 


Relaxin' in the trailer
 Playing games at night
 Reading stories in the bunks
 Heading home
We had such a fun time together out in the woods.♥ Cant wait for our next adventure!

Jackson is 7!!

I can't believe our little Jacks is already 7 years old.
My goodness.
What a fast growing cutie. ♥
We were in Idaho at Grandma and Grandpa's house. He wanted to spend his birthday with his cousins and Grandma and Grandpa.
***
Because he loves everything dinosaurs we got him an ice cream cake at DQ and added the dinosaurs to it. It was perfect. I'm pretty sure he loved it.
 cute cousins
 He really loves spending time at Grandma and Grandpa's house

 He shared his cake with his dinosaurs. I  guess they really like ice cream cake.
What a cutie
Jackson in a nutshell:
He's a gamer and loves spending his free time playing
skylanders and minecraft on the xbox
smashbrothers on the wii and
Jurrasic World on the ipad

He also loves playing soccer and learning martial arts. He just earned his yellow belt! He is always asking to go to the skate park so he can learn tricks. 
He will be going into 1st grade and loves school and learning Spanish.
He's a really kind big brother to Addie and she will miss him a lot when he starts school again.

  He is growing up way too fast and it makes my heart kinda heavy. He's my little buddy.

We love you Jackson! Thanks for being such a thoughtful and fun boy!

Harvest

This is how our little garden looked when we planted it....
 ....a little too early
.
I wrapped the poor tomatoes with saran wrap and hoped they would pull through the cold and windy few weeks in early in May.
This is how it looks now
pretty good!
 Yummy tomatoes, zucchini, squash, and strawberries
 ...and the best part- we have peaches again!! ♥ 
I didn't let many peaches grow because its still pretty young and small,
but we still got a pretty decent crop.
Addie likes to pick the ripe strawberries.
