Weekend Visitors and Donut Falls

When I got back Friday I quickly prepared for the Thompson fam's arrival that night.  Luckily Mike had the house pretty clean so it wasn't too bad at all.  Saturday we did a little bit of shopping and then just relaxed and literally didn't do a thing.  On Sunday Mike decided we had sat around enough and it was time for a hike!  Everyone was all really excited so we grabbed sandwiches and headed up Big Cottonwood Canyon.  Mike had decided to take us to Donut Falls again since he and the kids had just hiked it he knew it would be an easy one for us all.

Em & Daddy

Seriously Will is a little mountain man!


I stayed at the bottum of the falls with Emmie on my back and Aimee and Jessica for company.  Everyone else made it all the way up!



Quick lunch after:

On our way back out we were shocked to come across a moose crossing the road!  As she waited around looking back and forth anxiously her little baby soon followed!  It was crazy and so close!



I wish we could have taken better pics but it was pretty cool!  After we got back home Thompson's had to head back to IF and we were sad as usual to see them leave.  Such a great little relaxing weekend!

Cascade Springs

I have to talk in Sacrament meeting tomorrow so I spent all morning preparing my talk and then we decided to head out for a hike so I could stop stressing out!  We snagged lunch at a Pleasant Grove favorite Taco Amigo and then headed to the American Fork Canyon.  We ended up at a hike called Cascade Springs and it was so perfect for kids.  Will loved seeing all the springs and putting his feet in the water.  














It was super hot and on our way back down Will decided he needed a turn in the backpack!

Hahaha poor Mike!

I LOVE summer and hiking with my kiddos!

Donut Falls While Mom's Away

Mike has been taking care of the kids while I am up at girls camp and man am I impressed!  He not only took them to Madagascar 3 yesterday but today he took them on a hike!  Impressive babe!  The kids loved it and the pics he snapped are priceless :).

Emmie's Offical 1st Birthday!!!!

Today our little Emmie turned 1 can you believe it!  It definitely doesn't seem possible and seems like this last year just flew by.  Since her party is in a few weeks we spent the evening together as a little family.  
Red Butte Gardens













We had a great time walking around and just relaxing together as a family.  To finish our night we stopped by The Sweet Tooth Fairy to spoil our little girl with a yummy sugary cupcake, delish!









WE LOVE YOU EMMIE!
