Happy Father's Day to one amazing dad!

Having fun out at the cabin.

Lydia learned how to drive the side by side and these three are grateful to have a chauffeur. 

Playing at the park in Council.  We sure have a lot of fun out at the cabin.  The best part is that we spend time together.

The kids always enjoy catching lizards and making them a home in a bucket for a few days.

Camping at Johnson Creek.  The mosquitoes were HORRIBLE! By far the worst I've experience in the lower 48s.  It was pretty, but for me it was a one time fun time deal.

Fishing the creek in the morning.

On our way to Lava Hot Springs for a week of swim lessons.  We stayed at Eleisha's family's cabin. It was a nice cabin but pretty rustic.  No laundry and no drinking water.  That made it quite a bit of work with kids, but worth the trip.  Shauntae and her girls came up and stayed a night with us and Julene and Amber (along with her kids) were there most of the time as well.  Zerin and Lydia enjoyed their swim lessons.  Porter wouldn't do his class so I did a baby and me class with him. The quality of swim lessons there was so much better than here.  If it wasn't so far away I'd do it every year.

Right after we got there Sunday afternoon this happened-- Yuck!

This was the first day when Porter sat with his class on the steps.  He's the furthest on the left and Zerin's 2nd from the right.

This was my favorite part of the trip.  We went to Chesterfield. It's an abandoned Mormon settlement that's in the process of being restored. I love history and this was pretty awesome.

These were original sacrament water cups (glass).

Hot spring flowing into the river right by the pool.

The kids had lots of fun with their 2nd cousins.  From left: Elyjah, Porter, Zerin, Eph, Lydia, Alyvia, Addyssen, (two of Amber's boys), and Amaya

My three cuties.  Love these boys more then they'll ever know.  So glad they're mine!
