Where Did the Summer Go?

SO I am clearing all the pictures off my camera and decided to update my blog. Most people update as things happen, but I always seem to update a few months at a time!
At the end of June I had the opportunity to go to Lake Powell with one of my favorite people, Amber! And to think that I was not going to go. Thanks to Devin for making all the arrangements for Conner, getting babysitters and pretty much packing my bags on top of changing the oil in my jeep and all the car stuff plus showing me how to change a tire just in case. He gets so nervous when I travel with out him. I am truly thankful for you and ALL the sweet things you are always doing for me. And a Big thanks to Amber for making me go and enjoy myself on a house boat at Lake Powell with no kid and husband! It was so fun to relax and be selfish! Your right I think I liked it too much I am ready for another girls trip! While we were there we enjoyed staying up way later than I have in years sleeping in well after 10, swimming, sun tanning, eating, snaking and playing card oh and lets not forget to mention the night it rained and we all got soaked, (amber called it glorified camping lol) so I'm not sure how she camps but I don't normally sleep wet when I camp! It was an adventure! Although I looked like the beach whale of the group I had an awesome time. Thanks Everybody for watching Conner and to the Busbies for letting me come on their vacation!

This was me leaving the house! I cant believe how hard it was to go with out them!

4th of July

Of course we celebrated the 4th of July! Devin's dad always does the Anvil in Taylor and this was his last year. SO we got up at 3 am, went to the fire station road on top of the truck and did the whole Taylor Celebration. I have so many memories growing up of the 4th of July in Taylor. Its not the 4th unless you have done the Anvil. Conner got to light it with the help of Grandpa Wood. Needless to say he was not yet impressed with the big boom! We had a big breakfast at the station and then went back to my moms to sleep! We enjoyed the day bouncing back and forth between families eating BBQ and then watching the fire works.

Camping!

We haven't done a lot of camping this year and Devin has let me know! But we did manage a few days at Greens Peak. I love it up there! We had lots of fun riding 4 wheelers, eating, playing card (I still don't get how Clay and Deb always win when Clay doesn't even know how to play!?!) shooting, going for rides and just being lazy. After all isn't that what camping is about? My favorite meal out camping was the ribs. Clay and Devin dug a pit and cooked the ribs with all kinds of seasoning and fresh pineapple and who know what else! They were so good!Conner's favorite Thing.

Playing Frisbee

Justin, Bradley and Conner I have no idea what they were doing but they were having fun!

The trips not over till we get our picture on the top of Greens Peak!

Kenzies ALL STARS

Kenzie made the all star team again this year and her team did awesome. They took 1st in their district. Then went to Tucson to compete in the state tournament and ended up in 3rd.

Lake Trip.

We finally made it to the lake this year. You would think with my parents owing a house 10 minutes from the lake we would be there all the time! I WISH! My whole family was able to make it down for a few days. It was Hot and the water was perfect. Devin had fun wake boarding and tubing with Conner. Conner didn't care for the tube at 1st but once he figured his life jacket out he loved it! The boat was his favorite.

Loving life!

Swim Lessons.

We put Conner in pre-school swim lessons this summer! I signed us up for the wrong time. SO for 2 weeks Conner and I were getting up and out the door really early! Conner was the youngest in his class and loved every minute of it! He got a little over confident one day and jumped off the step in 4 foot deep water. I saw him from the side lines but his teacher didn't. Conner was staying above water but not enough to keep air in him! I was about to jump in when the teacher saw him and put him back on the step! He looked terrified but was fine in less then a minute! On his last day he got his cert and a pop cycle. He is now trained to float on his back, kick and blow bubbles! Yeah!

Happy Summer Everyone!

San Diego

For our summer vacation we took off for over a week and went to CA. Devin's Family came for part of the trip and mine came for the other part. While there we enjoyed the beach, swimming, Disneyland, Knottsbarry Farms, Sea World, Joe's Crab Shake ( 3 weeks later my father in law is still talking about the great food he ate:)!) Conner's 2ND Birthday, a session in the San Diego Temple(it is so beautiful), and enjoying each other! I took over 300 pictures so the slide show is kind of long. Hope everyone is having a great summer so far!

Conner on his 2ND Birthday woke up to a bed full of Balloons
Happy Birthday Conner. For Conner's 2ND Birthday we took him to San Diego. We sent the week on the beach, at Disneyland, Knottsberry Farms and Sea World. He had lots of visitors. The Wood Family came the 1st part of the week and the Hunt Family came the last part of the week. Conner loved all the rides at Disney, knots and Sea World. At the end of each ride he just wanted to stay on, the kid has not fear. He loved giving all the characters hugs and swimming in the the pool. The place that we stayed had a huge koi pool with tones of huge fish, he loved go past the fish and feeding them.

Memorial Day Weekend

Over the Memorial Weekend we had our Hunt Reunion out by Heber it is always fun to see all the family that we hardly see. Conner had a really tuff weekend. Besides his normal falling into everything and getting hurt, he got bit by a dog on his left eye. It looked so bad for a few days but then healed right up. He looks so rough in the pictures! My Uncle Willard also passed away. At his funeral they were telling some story's of Willard and they made me laugh, I have not thought of many of the funny time I have had with Willard in years! We will miss him, but I am grateful for the knowledge that I have and know that he is whole and happy and that we will all be together again.


Grandpa had his 83rd Birthday I love this guy he is seriously amazing!

We went on a 4 wheel ride and it was insane. I think there was like 20 something bikes that went! Conner Loves Loves Loves rides!
