Deer Hunting... or is it Deer Camping?

Neither Scott or I drew out for a tag this year. Did that stop us from going to Deer Hunt? Heck no! It turned into just a camping trip instead. 

Me and my big girls went on a little nature hike. 

Paysli pretty much just hangs out in the trailer the whole time so we have to get pretty creative with games and play dough. 

Our trailer was the place to be when the sun started going down. We became the major kid hangout. They had tons of fun playing with their Fuller cousins. 

Here's a our mini 4-wheeler again- doing what I'm pretty sure it was NOT designed to do.

At least someone had a tag and shot a deer so our son could check it out.

McDonald's

About 80% of the time when my parents tend my kids they end up at McDonald's. It makes tending a little easier on my parents and my kids love it. I'm not sure who is more blessed... me to have such great parents, or my kids to have such great grandparents. Either way...

Becca's Birthday

My mom doesn't love the idea of birthday parties, but we do! This year I threw a birthday party for Becca and it was pretty cool. We played Wii Zumba, had a scavenger hunt (thanks to grandpa), ate pizza and cake, opened presents, played night games, then watched a movie. 

My mom does get credit because she paid for it all and watched my kids while I threw the party.

Wii Zumba

13 Years Old! Isn't she cute?

Cousins

Cousins, Cousins, and more Cousins

Our lucky kids get to play with their cousins almost every single day. They are all such great friends!

The older ones love to play with the younger ones. It's so awesome!

Just Horsing Around for FHE

 A lady in our ward invited Matt's family to their horse property for FHE and somehow it turned into a big Emett bash. 

There was lots of horse-riding...

and just plain horsing around.

Brigham was so excited to see a tractor up close.

Aydree didn't really care, but she was cute anyway.

After we rode the horses we had a big campfire dinner.

What a fun night!

Camping for General Conference

 Over general conference weekend we took our trailer camping in Silver Reef. We have loved this spot before and we loved it again!

Scott and Shaersti gathering firewood on our mini 4-wheeler.

We went on a long hike and obviously took lots of pictures. It was so pretty and the kids had so much fun.

Then we went on another hike...

There are really cool silver mines and this is the nearby kiln.
