Memorial Day Weekend

We head down to Brianhead for Memorial day weekend. We went on some beautiful hikes, a really long bike ride that almost killed some of us, and played some games.

It was a great trip.

On our way home stopped at some cemetery's.

On our bike ride Tyson and my mom drove us to the top of the trail and they were going to meet us at the bottom. Amber told them we would be gone for an hour or two...well it took us more like 4 or 5 hours. We got lost. We went up a dirt road for way too long. My dads lips were actually turning blue! Once we got on the trail we made pretty good time. Jaycee fell on one of the switch backs, then Amber crashed when she came to see what was taking us so long. We also had to stop several time to put air in my tire. Tyson and my mom were driving around trying to find us, thinking they missed us some how. Also there was no cell service for the drivers. We had service up in the mountain. Amber ended up leaving us and went down to try and find our drivers. By some miracle she found them!

Overall, it was a fun ride and I would totally do it again.

The little kids did so good in the car while they were trying to find us, but they wanted to ride too, so we took them to a little fish pond to ride for a bit.

Brianhead was so fun, I would love to go back sometime!

 

Bear Lake with the Borgstrom

Mikes dad retired! To celebrate we went to Bear Lake. Everyone was able to come, and we had so much fun! We stayed in a really nice house at The Reserve. It was pretty cold, but we made it down to the beach, some of the more daring kids got in the freezing water. After the beach they need to warm up in the hot tub. While some were warming up others were down playing pickleball and basketball.

We also spent a lot of time playing board games, we love board games. Andrew always has some new games to teach us when he is in town.

Emily and Josh planned some really fun Minute to Win It games. I made some medals for the winners. I think Mike and Wesley ended up with a medal. I also make little tokens for everyone.

We were able to get pictures of everyone in their Christmas PJ's. Except Logan, he was at the hospital getting his appendix out! We usually take pictures at Christmas but our family was sick with Covid, so we missed the parties.

We also took a new family picture. We love spending time with our families. We are lucky to live so close to most of them.

 

Mother's Day and Preschool Graduation

In high school I had a coach ask me what I wanted to do after I graduated. I told her the only thing I knew I wanted to do was be a mom. I thank Heavenly Father every night that I get to be a wife, and a mom. I love my kids so much and can't imagine my life without them! It is always nice to see that they like me too! I always love the gifts that they come up with.

I am grateful for my mom and LouAnn. They are both very supportive of my family. You can always count on them. They have a lot going on but they both make time for our family, from ball games to Sunday dinner. We are very blessed to have them in our lives.

Vivian is a preschool graduate! She had so much fun in Miss Mandy's preschool.

She learned so much, and made new friends. She is excited for kindergarten.

 

Happy Birthday Vivain!

I can't believe my baby is 5! We love Viv! She is funny and keeps us on our toes. She says some pretty funny thing, I always wonder where she came up with it. She is witty. She loves swimming, riding her bike, soccer, playing with Barbies, Legos, and watching her shows.

Vivian is so spoiled, she is the youngest cousin on both sides of our families, and it shows! We had a party with the Borgstrom side the Sunday before her birthday, we partied as a family on her birthday, then a Bailey party the Sunday after her birthday. Everyone gives her anything she wants. I tell people it's not our fault she is spoiled, it is everyone else, but we do a pretty good job of spoiling her too!

Happy Birthday Viv! We love you!
