Camping Trips

We went camping in Cottonwood Canyon last weekend with the Bell family (Tim's sister and cousins). We were celebrating Matt, Brody and Brielle's birthdays. We had a lot of fun with 4 wheelers, horses, Emerson Drive concert at the Emery County Fair, and lots of cousins!

Chase, Kamron, and I also went to a friend's family cabin overnight. We had a sewing party and Chase had fun playing with the other kids.

Pictures of the Day

This is what I found when I came back downstairs from putting the baby to bed.

Chase decided to get dressed all by himself this morning while I was brushing my teeth. He did pretty good considering he has never put a shirt on by himself and he even had it on the right way. Only problem was he got both legs into one hole. He was pretty upset!

Kamron's Getting So Big!

I can't believe how big Kamron is getting! He is 9 1/2 months old. He is crawling all over the place now! He hates eating baby food. He wants to be a big boy and eat with the rest of us. He has 4 teeth and is about to cut 2 more. He is still my happy little boy and quick to smile. When I sing him lullabys to get him to sleep, he sings along with me! Very cute. I just wish he would stay little forever!

Oh yeah, and he LOVES ice cream cones!

Ben and Maria's Wedding

My little brother Ben got married a few weeks ago to a beautiful Maria. They were married in the Timpanogos Temple. It was perfect. Maria speaks pretty good english (she is from Mexico) but her mother doesn't speak any english. Luckily Maria and her brother were able to translate a lot plus, 2 of my brothers, my brother-in-law, and I are all fluent in spanish. So that made it a little easier.Ben and Maria at the temple
All of my siblings made it for the wedding (all 9 of us!) This is the dashing couple, all of my siblings and our spouses (My oldest brother and sister's spouses weren't able to make it and my youngest brother isn't married)

My sisters and I were the bridesmaids. Maria with her mom and my mom.

All of my brothers and brothers-in-law were groomsmen. Maria, Ben and my dad. Maria's dad wasn't able to come from Mexico for the wedding.

Congratulations Guys!

Family Reunion Part II

I wanted to add a few more pictures from the Reunion

Meal time
Tim's parents and all of their children
(For those of you who don't know, Tim was adopted by his grandparents, so these are his siblings or his aunts and uncles, whichever way you want to look at it)

Cute boys!!!

Matt had been playing in the dirt all day and was filthy

Tim's parents (grandparents). They are in their 90's so they were quite the troopers to come up to the mountains and hang out!

Family Reunion Time

We went camping in Huntington Canyon for the Hanson Family Reunion. We had a ton of fun. The boys were both covered in dirt the entire time. They made new friends with some of their cousins that they rarely see.

Matt spend the entire time hanging out in this gully and the "bear cave"
I let Kamron have a piece of licorice. He had a hard time not being able to crawl around in the dirt

Chase loved his cousin Aubrey. He called her "my Aubrey" She played really well with her and let her paint his face, which he promptly smeared all over thus creating the massive forehead wound effect

Tim playing poker with some of his cousins and an aunt. He cleaned everyone out.

Fun Pictures

These are some random pictures that I just uploaded from my camera

You can't really tell but Kamron got two teeth
We went camping with some friends in American Fork Canyon. We had a creek running right through our campsite plus rain made a very muddy camp

You had to walk on the rocks or the boards to keep from sinking several inches in mud

Chase loves the baby toys!

We took the boys to see UP in 3D. The glasses were a little big but they had fun.
