Up the Canyon...

We had our annual weinie roast in the canyon this weekend. We usually go up to Millcreek Canyon and we had to pick a weekend when Jay was home because it just wouldn't be the same without him. This year we also decided to invite our cousin Carrie and her family - Emmanuel, Ember, Amanda, Emma and Jonathan. The more the merrier, right?
Poppy, Dustin, Grant and Emma

Uncle Jay and Uncle Joe

Luke has so much fun playing with the kids. They played hide and seek together and since Luke was wearing a green jacket (I don't know why in the middle of summer), it was kinda hard to see him.

Carrie and Ember

The best part - roasting marshmallows and making s'mores! We had a great time sitting around the campfire and chatting while eating good food and spending time with awesome family.


Of course we had to go on a little hike! We walked a little ways and then came to a stream and a bridge. Luke took his shoes off and walked through the water and it was COLD!



But it was fun even a little muddy. We threw some rocks in for awhile and then headed back to camp.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Luke had a great time in preschool. Each of the kids decorated a Valentine's bag to put all their valentines in. He was pretty proud of his bag. He brought home lots of cute valentine's and some pretty creative ones too.

Dustin and Luke made a valentine treat for me. They bought a bunch of Hershey kisses and wrapped them up in aluminum foil like a Hershey kiss. The Tag said: "Happy Valentine's day. Hope you have a fun day. Love, LukemGrant, Dad" Way cute! And I loved the chocolate.

I didn't leave just one present for everyone, I left 9! One present to be opened every hour starting at 8:14 am until 4:14 pm. Luke drove Dustin crazy with his constant, "Is it time to open another present?"
Dustin had to teach him how to tell time off the microwave clock.
The presents included donuts for breakfast, a present for each person, valentines cards from me, kisses from me, and a fun art/coloring project and some other treats.


Luke received a Spiderman tool box

Grant got a front loader truck to play with
Valentine's Day was on a Tuesday this year and that is Luke's day to go to Grammy and Poppy's. This gave mom and dad the chance to go to a special Valentine's dinner at Applebee's.
Our date to our Valentine's dinner at Applbee's. Applebee's is the place that Dustin and I went on our first date. Oh the memories...
