Heber Valley Camp

We went camping up at the Heber Valley Camp with my whole family a few weeks ago. We had a great time despite the downpour of rain soon after we got there, it cleared up at dark but it definitely didn't ruin the fun. We set up a few tarps and were good to go! Thanks for a fun time everyone, we love being together with family!

The boys spent hours hauling wood around and helping with the campfire

Enjoying some JiffyPop in the campfire.

Family Pictures October 2011

Disneyland a year ago

So, these pictures are nearly a year old, I have no idea how they didn't end up on my blog, I guess with the craziness of the holidays and such last year it got overlooked. We went to Disneyland last November with Rick and Lacey and the kids and the Leishman clan. We had the best time, it was so much fun! Ava still every few days talks about when we are going back. Sorry for the picture overload, I just didn't want to forget any of it!

Lyla went on ToyStory with everyone probably twenty times. It was by far her favorite ride i'm sure, if she could tell us!

Ava's favorite rides were the TeaCups, PeterPan, ToyStory, Mickey's RollerCoaster and Dumbo!

We did the princess lunch which Ava thought was the greatest. Her face just lit up every time a new princess came out. She kept saying to me, "mom, how do they all know what my name is?" She thought it was magical. Kristen and the girls were doing lunch about the same time and were across from us so it was fun for Ava and Gracie to be able to chat. Funny coincidence, not planned!

The Decker's were there for a few days at the same time so we had to snap a photo together!

Just hanging in the hotel, Ava pulled the box of donuts up and put on a movie. Relaxing!

Lyla was such a trooper considering the heat and us pushing her all around!

A few days into the trip our stroller wheel hit a curb and the steering broke so the wheels wouldn't move at all, so we had to move all our junk into rental strollers and use shoelaces to tie Lyla's carseat on so it didn't fall off. Chris was a little frustrated getting everything rigged so we could get moving again, considering it was record heat of nearly 100 degrees that week and we were all sweating like crazy!
