It's time for our annual trip to Red Robin for FREE kids meal on the kids birthday. Carter got his chance with his mom and dad! The kids look forward for their birthday to come around...to eat at Red Robin. They have smiling faces and get so shy when the waitresses to and sing with balloons and a sundae. What fun memories! 
Well, after about 3 1/2 months of fearing my camera was pot, it is FINALLY fixed. Thanks to my sweet nephew, Josh, he found out the problem. He went on the Canon website and was able to download an update that stated the exact things happening to my camera. What a MIRACLE! I wanted to cry. I have been using my dad's camera which is an upper model of mine, but I am now stress free to have mine back. Thanks so much Josh...you are my LIFESAVER!!!!!!
For part of Carter's birthday...we made homeade pizza. The kids got to make their very own personal pan pizza with toppings. It was a lot of fun and very delicious. They want to do it again. Brings back lots of memories making pizzas at Papa Murphy's.
Since we were up in Idaho for Maycie's birthday, we really didn't want to bring back what we had planned on getting her...a bike. So, she had her birthday with a few presents and then we would her a bike at home. Two weeks later, Joe and I finally took her to pick out her bike. She rode a few around the toy aisles at Walmart, but told her she was getting this one. I had to take pictures and video her riding her NEW bike. She loves it. Happy Birthday princess.
Our annual Stubbs reunion is here once again. This year Joe's mom was in charge and wanted to do a cowboys and indians theme. It was a lot of fun. The kids made drums, feather hats, cowboy hats, vests, necklaces. Mom made a pinata, and had a trading post. They had a TON of fun! Joe made a covered wagon out of pvc pipe and made a teepee out of pvc when we were up there. It was a very enjoyable reunion with tons of fun things to do and memories that will last a lifetime. 
So Carter and Maycie...I thought were just outside playing. Well, yeah with some scissors. Carter was telling Maycie to cut her hair...so she listened to her brother and did just so. Yeah a huge lock of hair was cut off her side. I was so mad and even better...the day before her dance recital. Miss Jennifer wants every girl in her class to have their hair half up and curly. It's going to be a challenge to make it look good since it's right on the side. I guess she will be going to the "real" beautician very soon! Gotta love 3 year olds.
We went to church today just for sacrament meeting, but left so we could get ready to head up to the mountain. We came home changed our clothes, grabbed a quick bite to eat making sandwiches and were out the door. It was nice to get out of the HEAT for a while and go where it's COOLER. A lot of the snow in the meadow has melted, but there is still quite a bit. The stream running through was nice and clear. Joe and I were shocked it was about 80 degrees up at Duck Creek. I had left my camera case inside the trailer and will need it for the Stubbs reunion next week. While up there, the kids shot Hunters and Connor's bows at Nate's targets. They shot pretty good and shocked their mom. We all just had a great time. They will be the best archery hunter's EVER!!!
So, I walked into the bathroom and found Tanner with the plunger. He notices something someone does and copies! A few weeks back, Joe had to plunge the toilet since the little ones love to put TONS of toilet paper in the toilet. I think Joe had a little shadow watching how to plunge a toilet. Tanner had the plunger in the toilet pushing down! It was so cute...I had to take some pics. My cell phone camera says, "say cheese" when you want to take the pic and so Tanner was cheesing. You have to love 2 1/2 year olds. 
We didn't think it would be possible to get the trailers up to Duck Creek with such a crazy "snow season"! It's May...and still snowing in the mountains! The property didn't have any snow and it is dry so now's the time. Mom and Dad, James and Collett, Nate and MinDee, and our families brought our trailers up for the summer. Joe brought ours up on Friday night and Ky, Tanner, and I came up on Saturday with mom and dad. Their trailer was already up there. James and Collett bought them a trailer. We all had an enjoyable time just relaxing, napping, playing cards, and eating junk food. It's great to have a place to get a way for the weekend where it's nice a cool!
Ok...so I have NEVER made cinnamon rolls by myself. I have alway been the spectator and watched others like my mom make them. I want to be a better baking diva and try new recipes out. This is a recipe from one of my favorite blogs. I made them up for our monthly family dinner with everyone to try...hoping not to poison anyone. They were so moist and yummy!!! These pics were taken before sticking them in the oven and adding the best part...frosting. I think this recipe is a keeper. I am hoping to continue to find good recipes and start a recipe book. They were a 5 star for sure!
Pee Wee Baseball has officially started! Connor and Hunter are on the same team which is a sigh of relief. It's been really hard to have three of them in soccer and on different teams and different times for games. The boys will have games on Tuesdays and Saturdays for a total of seven games. They are really excited. Their dad even went and bought them new mitts for them to grow into. Their first game was at 4:00 and most of the kids on their team seemed like they haven't played baseball ever...they were all over the place. Connor and Hunter did really well and when it was there turn to batt...hit it out there! Way to go boys! Good luck the rest of the season.
