SO WHILE WE WERE CAMPING CODY FOUND THIS CATERPILLAR. I WANTED TO SEE IF ONE OF MY KIDS WOULD PUT THE CATERPILLAR ON THEIR ARM BECAUSE MY MOM HAS A PICTURE OF ME WHEN I WAS LITTLE WITH A CATERPILLAR ON MY ARM. THIS IS THE BEST I COULD DO. I TRIED TO GET EMMA TO HOLD IT PUT SHE WAS NOT GOING TO TOUCH ANY BUGS. SHE KEPT THINKING THAT ANTS WERE GOING TO GET HER WHEN SHE WOULD BE OUT ON THE DIRT SO SHE SPENT MOST THE TIME IN THE TRAILER.

WE HAVE GONE CAMPING THESE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. SENSE WE DID NOT GO DURING THE SUMMER TIME. THE KIDS HAVE BEEN WANTING TO GO AND THEY REALLY ENJOYED THE MOUNTAINS.

ABBY HAS FINALLY STARTED KINDERGARTEN. SHE LOVES IT AND LOVES HAVING HER FRIENDS MCKAYLEE AND HANNAH IN HER CLASS. HER TEACHER'S NAME IS MRS. LEMMON AND SHE GOES IN THE AFTERNOON. BUT I DO WISH THAT SHE COULD HAVE BEEN MORNING BECAUSE SHE IS ALWAYS ASKING ME IF IT IS TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL. ALSO SHE IS WEARING HER FAVORITE T-SHIRT HANNAH MONTANA.

SO WE FINALLY DID IT. WE PLANTED A GARDEN. IT HAS ACTUALLY PRODUCED FOOD FOR US TO EAT. WE HAVE HAD PEA'S RED ONIONS AND SOME LETTUCE. MY HUSBAND IS VERY PROUD OF THIS GARDEN AND TOLD ME I SHOULD BLOG THE GARDEN. THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE MY PROJECT BUT MY HUSBAND HAS TAKEN OVER AND IT LOOKS WONDERFUL.

EMMA BEING CREATIVE WITH THE PUMPKIN LEAVES FROM THE GARDEN. MAYBE ONE DAY SHE WILL BE A DESIGNER.

ON SUNDAY WE HAD THE FAMILY COME OVER AND HAVE CAKE AND ICE CREAM FOR TRED'S BIRTHDAY. THIS CAKE WAS MADE BY A LADY IN MY WARD. I THOUGHT SHE DID A GREAT JOB AND WE ALL ENJOYED THE CAKE.

IT WAS TRED'S BIRTHDAY ON THE 19TH. WE DECIDED TO GO CAMPING AND SLEEPOVER IN THE BACK OF THE TAHOE. THE KIDS HAD A BLAST EATING THE MARSHMALLOW'S AND DIRT. ALSO THE CANYON WAS VERY PRETTY WITH ALL THE WILDFLOWERS THAT WERE BLOOMING.
