Memorial Day Weekend

We went on the funnest camping trip with Nathan's family over Memorial Day weekend. Nathan's aunt Tamara and her family lives in Ashland, OR and Stefan and Erin are living in Portland for the summer so we all met up in the middle at Squaw Lake, OR to go camping! It was a blast. Great company, great weather and great location! On our drive up we drove by Mt. Shasta, it was breathtaking! 

Once we got to Squaw Lake Nathan decided to take a little dip. What's so cool about this campsite is that there are no cars/roads. You park your car in a parking lot then pay a guy $10 to come get your stuff on his quad and trailer and he takes it to your campsite for you. Each campsite is about a 10 minute walk from each other so you are totally secluded. It was so nice not to be bothered by other campers or cars.

All these pictures are from Tamara and Vince, they are quite the photographers!

Hanging out with my two favorites Sky and Sage on the hammock

Mountain man, doesn't he look good with a beard?!

Where we had church, it was awesome!

On our hike to Little Squaw Lake, it was beautiful!

This guy got his first dutch oven and is the master of cooking with it now

The whole gang

We went rafting on our last day there and all the boys went cliff jumping, the water was too cold for me!

The whole gang again, it was so fun rafting!!!

I love this guy of mine!

It was such a fun camping trip, and all thanks to Tamara and Vince, they are the best!!!

Life Lately

Thought I would just do a little update on life lately from photos on my phone (and a few from my real camera.) 

Last week I took a walk over to the capitol to snap some pictures of the rose garden, it's so beautiful there!

Nathan and I went camping in the Sierras, it was a fun and relaxing quick trip.

I stopped nannying this cutie, been with him since he was 3 months old, miss him so much!

Nathan went skiing in Tahoe, for work. Awesome, right?

We enjoyed conference and I enjoyed some caprese salad.

I have been summoned, my first time ever, kinda excited, kinda not.

I went to Stanford for a Women in Coaching Clinic, I learned a ton.

I went and visited this cutie patutie for lunch at Intel

And then headed over to the temple (both Intel and the temple are in Folsom)

And we celebrated Easter here with one of Nathan's work friends, it was great!

Phoenix

On our way home from Florida we had a 10 hour layover in Arizona, I stayed up in Arizona but Nathan was able to come to church eat dinner with the family that day, it was a great day!

After dinner we played a non [very] competitive game of wiffle ball

1. Grandpa and his grandbabies. 2. Nols being silly as usual!

 1. Saw my lifelong BFF Morgan. 2. Went to Suns vs. Clippers game where we barely lost...

 Got to see these two lovely ladies and adorable Tad.

Think there is enough blondes in the family!?

We hit up an awesome new splash pad in Mesa!

 Nols and I have the same facial expression here, the water was chilly!

1. Tristan being cute. 2. Nol showing off his cute speedo.

A fun picnic

And kite flying to top off an awesome day!

We also went to my favorite place, the zoo!! How cute is this, Tristan and his friend holding hands!

1. My mom lookin good with some grandbabies. 2. Evelyn brushing a goat.

Nolan wasn't a fan of the carousel.

Evelyn was though!

It was such a fun trip! Missing my family and AZ!
