Scout's new AMAZING tent!

I know you are thinking that I am pretty lame but I saw this cat tent at Ikea and had to get it for Scout. He is so dang cute and we just love having the little furry guy around. He keeps us both company and makes us happy. That is what pets are for right??? They are the greatest. So until we have kids we spoil little Scout, but not too bad. I know how some people can get a little too out of control when it comes to spoiling their pets. Scout is low maintence (sp?)which works really well with our busy schedules of coming and going all the time. Besides loving to come home in the evenings to see each other and night Todd and I love coming home to a pet that is just as happy to see us as we are to see him. Okay, I think I have shared plenty about how much we love Scout.

FUN with FAMILY and FRIENDS!

We went to Mirror Lake over the weekend with my whole family. I have never been there before and it was so pretty. We are so lucky to be around so many beautiful sites in the mountains of Utah. All the grandkids had so much fun getting all dirty. We went fishing, hiking, played games, took naps, and whatever else sounded fun. I grew up going on a lot of camping trips with my family and we made a lot of fun memories togther. It's fun to enjoy them now with all the nieces and nephews as we get older and as the family continues to grow. Some of the best times and talks we have are around the camp fire at night.


This is "The Gang." We have all been so close over the years. Some of our friends were in town visiting for a few weeks from Iowa and it was about time we got a good picture of everyone. We are growing very quickly with everyone's new additions (kids). We love getting together when we can, it's so neat to have such a tight close friendship with them all.
