Mother's Day

For Mother's Day we went to the Scholle's for church, lunch, and to talk to BJ over the Internet from Brazil. Then we went to the park and had a BBQ picnic with my mom and all her 'single' sisters and my cousins. It was a busy day but fun and full of love and family. :-) I love being a mom! It's the best thing in the world- hard at times, but the best! Cooper is my pride and joy. Happy Mother's Day to all! And much thanks to my mom for being so nurturing, loving, and continuing to raise me. I love you!

Here's some pictures from the day. Most of them are of Cooper. But it was Mother's Day so I had to take lots of pictures of my child right? :-)

Man Camp

So Steve went on another campout the Friday before Mother's Day. He took his brothers Adam and Spencer and his friends Jeremiah and Chris. Steve likes to camp in the middle of nowhere so they ended up in some deserted place near Strawberry. They had fungetting muddy, shooting a bunch of random things and being boys. Adam ended up ruining his clutch on the way home so Steve had to tow Adam's jeep clear from the camp area and he spent the next week fixing it. Here's some pics to enjoy... There aren't very many because they took mostly video. There's some pretty goofy ones too!...

The vehicles got very muddy from the drive
