Kicking our summer off right.

Summer is officially here!

My favorite season has finally arrived.

There is no better way to celebrate the first weekend of summer then camping!

Michael and I love camping.


Their is just something about campfires, sleeping under the stars, and s'mores 
that get me excited to camp.

This weekend we camped in Provo canyon with some friends that are going to BYU.

Once we got camp all set up and the fire going this little guy decided to pay us a visit.


Not going to lie I thought it was a bear sneaking up on us at first.
I was scared out of my mind, but then he stuck his head up and I felt a lot better.

After making some yummy s'mores and relaxing by the fire we got in the cars and headed to squaw peak to  look at the beautiful lights from on top of the mountain.


You can see all of Utah Valley from up there.

Everyone knows that if you are looking to get a goodnights rest 
that camping is not what you want to be doing.

You literally wake up every hour or every two hours.

Not going to lie sleeping is one of my least favorite things about camping.
I get very scared and think bears are going to come and eat me.

So mornings come pretty slow for me because I am awake most the night.

Our morning started at 6:30

We all got up ate our yummy oatmeal for breakfast, cleaned up all of our stuff and headed off for a hike

Up above Sun Dance is a waterfall called Stewart Falls.

It is about a 4 mile hike round trip.

The Waterfall was so pretty and when yo got close enough you get hit by its wonderful mist.
Perfect for when you are burning from the hike in.








I love going on hikes with this stud! 
We talk about random things the whole time and I love it.

It took us about 2 hours to complete this hike, this includes our stopping at the waterfall time.

When we got home we relaxed and took care of our beautiful garden that is getting huge now!


 We've got cucumber, squash, zucchini, tomatoes and bush beans growing is or small garden.


 Our grocery shopping day is on saturday, so after taking a wonderful and much needed nap
we headed to the store.

All I can say is that our Smiths always has the best baked goods deals at the end of the week!
Doughnut holes for 99¢.... Yes please.


They were so delicious and of course we got them for our sunbeams in primary.
They were a huge hit and all of their little mouths were covered in pink powder.
It was so stinking cute.

BEAUTIFUL sunday afternoon for a walk to church.


Isn't she the cutest little sunbeam you have ever seen!


Coloring time is the best time during class.

Needless to say we had a pretty spectacular summer weekend
and I am looking forward to more amazing memories to come this summer.

      Oh I am so glad Remi loves to come to Sunbeams! They did for sure love the pink doughnuts, they had cute little pink lips after eating them. Remi is stinking cute, she helps out a lot in class. Also I love all the out fits you put her in, so adorable.

THE FINAL WEEK

How far along?    39 weeks We are in the final week ladies and gents!! Maternity clothes? Only a few shirts  and a dress. Other than that I just wear leggings, dresses, and some of Michaels shirts. Stretch marks? Not a single one thank goodness! When I was in school I learned in my  Anatomy  and Physiology class that if you start putting on shay butter/coconut oil(I used the Palmers cocoa butter and sometimes add my 100% coconut essentials oil.) two months before getting pregnant, that it will help your skin loosen and become more elastic.  So once we decided to start trying I  immediately  got some lotion and put it on every other day(or you can put it on everyday).  I know that, that is what helped me not get any stretch marks. I cant  guarantee  it will work for everyone, but what I do know is that if you don't start lotioning your skin early, it for sure will not be ready for the  drastic  change that is about to happen. Sleep? I have actually

ANNIVERSARY # 3

If I had my life to live over again, I would find you sooner so that I could love you longer.  Happy Anniversary Michael. I love you so much.  You are my greatest adventure. I couldn't imagine life without you!   This is the beautiful rose I came home to after work! My husband truly is the best.  Little things like this let me know that he is thinking about. In a marriage I feel it is so vital to let your spouse know in anyway you want,  but to just let them know you are thinking of them and that you love them. I made this cutie some yummy breakfast in bed.... .......... After work we headed over to Pizza Pie Cafe in Bountiful. We know its not a typical dinner date for an anniversary, but we LOVE Pizza Pie. They have the best oreo pizza in the world. Seriously though it is one of my favorite places to eat! After our wonderful dinner at Pizza Pie, we headed up the mountain to go shoot our new gun. We had to get ther
