Happy Birthday, Jaxon!!



Okay, so Jaxon's birthday isn't till Friday but we had a little party for him on Saturday. It was really fun. We had it at the park since our house is too small. Jaxon loves being outside so we thought it would be perfect. It was a beautiful day and perfect for playing at the park. We had lots of yummy desserts and enjoyed hanging out with family. Jaxon had a lot of fun with cousins but of course he didn't really care about the presents or the cake. Thanks again to everyone that came!

Family Camping Trip





This year's family camping trip was so much fun! Especially with three little boys in tow! We camped in Island Park right on the Buffalo River, it was beautiful. It is possibly my favorite camping spot ever. We ate lots of good food, had our own "camping olympics", fought off lots of wasps, and hid from the rain. Some of Emily's in-laws came up on Saturday for an awsome kickball game that was so much fun. The little boys loved digging in the dirt and fighting over Grandma's cool toys! Our second night there around 10:30 or 11 Jaxon learned how to throw the dirt in the air. He covered himself from head to toe in dirt but he was having so much fun I couldn't stop him! Tyler made Jaxon have a sponge bath though before he would let him in the sleeping bag. Sunday night and Monday were very very cold so we didn't do much but its always good to just be around family! One of the most memorable things that happened was when Nate ate a wasp. He was driving down the road in an off-road vehicle when a wasp hit him in the mouth and stung him about 5 times. When he got back his top lip was swollen so big we all thought it was a joke! None of us could stop laughing! We made him do funny things and say funny things while we all pointed and laughed some more. Nate was such a great sport though and laughed right along with us! Thanks Nate!
