Filling you in

Just thought we'd let you all know some of the fun stuff we've been up to the past week or so!

White Pine is just shy of a 4 mile hike to a small lake past Tony Grove in the mountains here above Logan. It was really fun to backpack in and camp, catch fish and have a warm fire. This is our second year of hiking in with our friends Jordan and Whitney, along with Adam DelToro this time around, and we plan to keep it a tradition every year.

I was sharing my water with Ted when there was no stream for him to drink from.
Hiking up and out of the valley.
Stopping awhile to take in some scenery.

Teddy was so tired by the time that we got back to the car that he started to jump in anywhere that he could! He was a good hiking puppy!
Back at the cars and heading out.

We've also been working on cleaning up our backyard and taking care of our little garden. Here's a little video of the yard where the garden is now before we cleaned it up.
And this is after cleanup!! No seeds in yet in this one. Amy and Abby- neighbors Kody and Adam and I have done a lot of work to get it to this point!
And now look! The seeds are all in and it is looking more like a garden now!
It's growing!

Just seconds before this Jayson was wide awake!
At Noah's birthday we also got to meet Heidi's second boy, baby Ross. He was so sweet!

It was Noah's birthday and we got to celebrate it at Grandma Kathy's a few weeks ago. He was so sleepy, but really cute!
