Daniel's Summit Getaway!


We just want to thank my parents and family f0r such an awesome family getaway. Bub, Hailey and I got together with my family in Heber and headed to one of our families favorite spots to get away from the world-Daniel's Summit Lodge. It was a two day trip filled with fun. When we arrived we went four-wheeling on the trails where we were surrounded by beautiful wildflowers. That night we went swimming and hot tubing. Then the boys all went to bed while the girls watched a chick-flick. The next morning we went to the stables and played with the horses while some were being saddled up to ride on.
Hailey loves horses! I thought being up close and personal would scare her a little bit but as you can tell, that was not the case. We had to watch her close as she was giving hugs and kisses to all the horses. I kept on telling her, "Hailey be careful." She just told me, " Mom don't worry they love me."
A view from the horses side. Look close and you can see Hailey in the reflection of the horses eye!
This was Eliza's first time riding. She was a little nervous but came back from the two hour ride a pro. Her horse ended up jumping over a small creek and the screams were amazing!
Hailey loves her Grandpa!

While Bub, Bruce, Sam, and Eliza went on their horseback adventure, Hailey, Grandma, and I went on our own ATV adventure. We went on one of the trails that was 23 miles. As we started to get to the summit the trail turned horrible, it was full of huge rocks and we could only go 2 miles/hr. Definitely not like how we remembered from the winter when we came snowmobiling. We figured that the trail had to get better so we continued for 20 min. Then we found some other people on ATV's and they told us that we only had gone 7 of the 23 miles. We decided that we would turn back. That is when Hailey fell asleep. I love that Hailey is not scared of anything and can really fall asleep anywhere. I ended up holding her in one arm as I drove with the other arm. Anyway, we ended up having a 14 mile trip, getting sunburned, and we were surrounded by beauty. It was great! This picture of Hailey was on the trail when we stooped for a break. Thank you Wilson's for such a great time, love you all!

The Summer Fun Begins

The weather has advanced from snowy weather two weeks ago to raining off and on. So in the off moments we have been playing at the park (Hailey's favorite place besides her Grandparents home.)



Our Tuesday nights usually consist of going to the Young Womens and Young Mens activities but two weeks ago when Bub and I were about to leave someone knocked on the door. It was Jaymes!, We were so excited to see him and he got to stay with us for a couple of days. It turned out to be the perfect week for him to come because Bub was able to get away from work and we all got to hang out. Thanks for coming to see us Jaymes!


It actually happened! Bub was released from his primary calling that he has had for 4 1/2 years. He really loved being in primary and said he could stay there forever but it looks like Heavenly Father has a different plan for him. Bub has now been called to serve in the young mens presidency. And guess what? His cute primary kids from the past are now in young men's with him. And now he loves being in young mens.

My Dad has a month off of treatments so now he is able to travel outside of the valley. My mom and Dad were able to come up to see us and they stayed for the weekend. It was so nice to get to have them up here again. We had a lot of fun. We went on the river walk, went to the Summer Fest, went to good old Cafe Sabor and just hung out. It was awesome! I know my parents and family have a lot going on these day but my parents are so awesome and they took Hailey home with them for the week so I could go to girls camp! Bub was able to come up to camp for one day as our priesthood leader. I am so glad he was there. He really helped get our camp up and put together.

Yes our faces are painted. In our skit we were ducks, thus the face painting.
We played games and games and more games. We had tons of fun!
Any yes Bub even played these games with the girls. They loved having him there to tease and play pranks on. Quack Quack Quack. Girls, you did so great, our skit was for sure the best.
There is a tradition in our ward to play a certain game at girls camp every year. It is musical chairs but the last person that is left standing has to go to this box and grab an article of clothing out of it without looking and put it on. We play this until all the ugly clothes are gone and then we take crazy pictures. And it turns out that it is a dangerous game, mostly because my girls are all very competitive. So anyway, this is our crazy picture. I love you all girls! I am so glad that you came to camp with me and we got to share many experiences together. Keep in touch!

I love summer time in Logan. There really is so much to do. One of our favorite things to do is hang out with friends and family in the great outdoors. Here we are enjoying some sunshine with our friends.
