Treasure Hunting

Mike and Wesley are going on a backpacking trip, so Mike decided he wanted to do a hike every week leading up to the backpacking trip. A few weeks after our first hike we heard of a treasure hunt some one had buried $10,000.  So our weekly hikes turned into treasure hunting. We had a poem with clues. Every hike we went on we were sure was the right trail!

We never found the treasure, but we had a lot of fun trying!

Someone found the treasure, we were not even close!

 

Huntington 2021

Vivian was so excited for our trip she wore her goggles and snorkel on the ride down.

We love our trips to Huntington, we usually go in the middle of the week so we pretty much have the whole lake to ourselves. This year was no exception. We had some rainy weather, but we had a blast, and as always the sky's were amazing.

We love that Amber likes driving her boat. She takes the kids out and keeps them out all day! Aunt Amber is the best!

If they weren't out on the water they were in the mud! Which I hate, but they love. It is a good thing they have showers close by for us to use.

We also played some Kube and glow in the dark Ultimate Frisbee.

 

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Mike!

Me and Mike dated for 3 years! I remember praying, asking if I should marry him. I never felt like I received an answer. One thing I knew for sure was that he would be an amazing dad. Looking back now I can see that my prayers were being answered, just not in the way I expected them to be.

I am so grateful for Mike, he really is the best Dad! He would do anything for his kids. He works so hard for us, we never want for any thing. I know if anyone asked the kids who was their favorite parent is they would say Mike, and I wouldn't even feel bad about it, because he is the best!

 

Camping up North Fork

We took the trailer up North Fork for a few days. We have gone up South Fork serval times, this was our first time up North Fork. 

Amber took me and Jaime up to ride our bikes a couple of weeks ago, we love it and decided to try and camp.

We found great spots right by the river.

We went on a fun, very steep hike.

The kids spent most of their time in the little river. We played some Pounce. Me, Jaime, and Amber had to come home Friday night for our soccer game. On our way back up we saw an amazing sunset! All the fires this year has made for some spectacular sunsets.

 

Happy Birthday Jaycee!

Happy Birthday Jaycee! How can she be 14 already?

Jaycee is the best! She loves to be organized, her room is almost always clean, she even helps Vivian clean her side of the room. She is the best big sister, she is always playing with her siblings and she takes good care of them. She is so fun! She loves soccer and basketball. She loves water...any water. She is always the first one in and the last one out. She is a hard worker, a good student, and a great friend.

This year we went swimming at Joys again, this time she invited her friends from school. We had pizza and watermelon.

Happy Birthday Jaycee!
