Do you know those special moments where two people can go and enjoy a romantic dinner in a beautiful restaurant with all the china, silver and crystal. EVERY single Sunday my mom puts out this spread.Roast, potatoes, veggies, the list goes on and on! Not to mention the food is by far better than any restaurant that I have yet had dinner at. Really she is fantastic! This is Kelsey's last Sunday with the fam before she takes off to UT for her sophomore year at BYU. She will be missed. I just love having lounging time hanging out with the fam just chatting about politics, church, and life.
We spent most of today sitting on the floor in the nursery watching Brooklyn entertain us! She really is a HOOT. She does the splits, and high fives and has a few words down.
Dad spotted an annoying cackle black bird and came back a few minutes later with his pellet gun ready to shoot it. We with the babies in the nursery just watched as dad lifted the window and aimed ready to shoot the bird. It was such a classic shot I had to get a pix of it... and No animals were injured in this activity.

Camping at rainbow, white mountains.
We had such a great time this past week camping. Dad pulled out the dusty trailer and hauled all of our luggage and camping equipment up to the mountains. Ray was a single mom up in the cold with two young babies which actually did really great. The trailer keeps it pretty civilized when bottles need to be warmed asap! etc. Brad and I drove up with the bikes and all the wood for the awesome bonfires at night. He was so rugged and manly and had such a great time rolling in the dirt and being wilderness man. Brad is amazing on a bike. Serious he was whaling on us the whole time up these crazy hills that almost killed me and Ray. Ray said child birth was easier then the bike ride around the lake. You don't even have to ask to know that we had the best food around, my mom has some skills! We had our air mattress and slept just right in the cooler evenings. We also were able to leave the beagle herd behind so it was just Brad and I without the dog sitting! whoo hoo. Worth every penny! Also, we cant forget the survival skills for the girls with their cell phones. Desperation could be found on all their faces, as Christi would ride her bike around the camp holding the cell in the air, Kelsey having her phone rest exactly on a chair so she could receive her texts and the girls all around going on random walks trying to get more bars out in the middle of no where. If I had my way, I would have just taken them away! I LOVE not having a cell!!!

Happy Hipi's Sunny Mesa's Girls Camp.
Lindsay and Mary Rocked the camp this year! They were in most pictures on the slideshow and were always involved with the awsome YCL activities and being leaders for the girls. Their lame leaders didnt take any pix so I (Jessica) ran around camp like a crazy woman taking pix. Lindsay had 2 of the records for Rock climbing until Heidi Brinton came along. Good thing they are friends. Sunny Mesa Ward were the Happy Hipi's and all of us had a great time! Forest lakes was beautiful, rainy during the day and a bit chilly at night. And I really like having camp closer to home. This year the theme for camp was centered upon VIRTUE, all camps had named their place that of a virtue and all the talks were about virtue. Sorry this film is sideways. This was Lindsays slower rock wall speed.
We had such a great time for our tradtional first lake trip party of the year. We always take the boat out and have dinner on it usually for FHE. Before the new TIGA it was always an ADVENTURE because the sunny mesa never worked. After a year in the barn we would always have mechanical problems or whatever going on with it. This year we all had a great time. We had subs and everyone boarded and Raylene even surfed. No worries she is having a baby in 3 weeks. This was the first time for Brookie to go on the boat and we also brought the dog of coarse. All did specatular, and we missed DAD and Kelsey who had the SWINE flu. Pretty bad stuff. JK. just the regular flu I guess. Mom was always watching brooks last year so it has been two years since she has come. Mom is amazing, she drives the boat and even boarded!
