I love having an iPhone because there are lots of times when I don’t have my camera on me, but I have my phone pretty much all the time.
Marlee has been dressing herself for quite some time now, and I really loved the outfit she picked today.
The kids loved playing soccer tonight with their dad.
We picked up Porter from school on Friday night from his fieldtrip and headed to Ryan’s cabin. Ryan got his TV all set up out there so we could watch General Conference this time, instead of just listening to it. I got car sick- dang those curvy roads and my sensitive pregnant body. We had to pull off more than once…I was glad when we finally got there.
Saturday was pretty sweet. I took a long nap that morning while Laun and Clayton went out hunting. I was woken up by Clayton bringing in his turkey to show me:) Laun and Clayton both had success.
One proud boy.
The kids had to inspect the turkeys.
Clayton is going to save the turkey’s wings.
Taking the meat off…it looks like we are having turkey tonight.
Everyone loves the hammock.
The guys went bear hunting with no luck:(
Horse riding:
After watching some General Conference we went on a Ranger ride.
We munched on some peanuts, a traditional snack that we take when we go to Ryan’s cabin.
Looking for bears…
Laun and Ryan
Clayton didn’t have time to play, he was pretty serious about trying to spot a bear.
The kids had fun playing and catching creatures.
Marlee was pretty proud of catching a horny toad all by herself.
For dinner Laun cooked up turkey, it doesn’t get much fresher than that.
Today we watched conference, went on a Ranger ride, relaxed and ended the day with smoked pork before heading home.
A snake was caught, what a shocker.
Clayton and I chilling on the hammock.
As we were watching conference the kids went out and collected wild flowers.
I think the pork rind vase adds an extra flare to their beautiful bouquet.
We made a stop on our drive home…I may or may not have thrown up again, lovely.
Sweet Laun gave me these flowers as I sat in a somewhat fetal position:) Gotta love the perks that come with pregnancy.
We had a relaxing weekend and enjoyed listening to conference. Even though we didn’t come home with bear meat, at least the guys found some turkeys.
We were so happy to pick up Porter from the school. The whole family went, since we were going straight to Ryan’s cabin. He got to go with all the 5th graders for several days to Payson for science camp. They got fossils off the side of a cliff, went on a 4 mile hike, saw a rattlesnake, a horny toad and found water bugs.
Laun and I have a hard time when he’s away, but I know this experience was good for him.
This picture is of the whole group at cookie rock, Porter’s near the center of the picture, with an orange shirt on and blue hat. His group had blue hats and they stay in the same cabin together. I was so glad for the dads who helped out and text me pictures of Porter while he was away.
Laun went to Idaho for a job interview. Now all we are missing is Porter, until tomorrow night.
Laun brought home some Idaho Spud-chocolate candies.
And huckleberry syrup. We need to have waffles soon.
Every year the 5th graders get to go to Payson for Science Camp. Porter was ready to go this morning. I love seeing this little boy wheel along so much luggage. He had a suitcase, then a bag with his sleeping bag/pillow and a backpack.
He was excited to go and I was excited for him, but a little sad. I’m going to miss him. Plus, Laun is still out of town at a job interview, so it will just be Clayton, Marlee and I in the house, weird.
The kids are split up in groups of 10 and each group has 2 parent helpers, plus all the teachers go. Each group got their own matching baseball caps. Porter’s group got navy blue.
Porter was excited to look over his activity packet.
I’m missing this guy already and he hasn’t even boarded the bus!
His teacher Mrs. Taylor talking to Porter’s group.
And there goes my little guy…loading the bus.
I think Porter was just as excited to ride on this bus as he was to go to Science Camp. I’m already excited for Friday to come so I can pick up my Porter man:)
I found Porter sleeping on his bedroom floor tonight cuddled up to our dog Raggles. Oh how I love that sweet boy. He leaves for Science Camp in Payson tomorrow and I’m missing him already.
It sure does…when Hall baby #5 arrives. Too bad we don’t have cute little 6 year old Cooper in this picture. Love these Hall kiddos.
