I swore for years I would not be one of the crazy people who went camping over Memorial Day. It rains and/or snows every year without fail. Well, now that we have the camper we decided to be brave and go camping over this usually cold holiday. It did rain and was cold, but we hung out in the dry camper and played games with the heater running :) </div>

Brandon did set up a tent all by himself and he even slept in it the first night which surprised me! He spent the second night in the camper because he was so cold.</div>

We went to Mesa Falls and were lucky enough to get a campsite without making a reservation. It is beautiful and only 1 1/2 hours from my house!</div>

We packed up Monday morning to drive home and when I needed to move the truck so we could hook the camper up to the van we couldn't find the keys anywhere. We looked in every bag and all over in both vehicles before popping the camper up again and looking all over in there. Sara finally found them in my purse. </div>

I moved the truck so we could move the van and hook up the camper. When Ben tried to start the van in was dead. At this point we just laughed at how bad this morning had gone and jumped the van and drove straight home. </div>

I love being outdoors and enjoying nature! Ben and I decided we need to do this more often to help our kids build better relationships with each other. I mean there's nothing better than cramming 5 people into a small camper to build some relationships right??</div>

I had wanted to go to St. George for spring break, but since I waited too long to book a hotel they were all completely booked! I had no idea it was that popular, but I should have known there were other people looking for warmer temperatures. Instead we went to the zoo, Goblin Valley and Arches. The kids all had fun at the zoo and really liked the new exhibits! We will probably go back again this summer.</div>

Kim has been telling me about Goblin Valley for years and how much fun her kids had there playing in the dirt and climbing on the rocks. Since we didn't go to St. George we left early and drove to Goblin Valley and Arches in one day. CRAZY!! We drove over 600 miles in one day, but all the kids did great!</div>

Goblin Valley was amazing and the kids didn't want to leave! They had fun running around with their cousins, playing in the dirt, climbing on the rocks and finding little crevices to hide in. The weather was perfect and now we need to go back, so we can take Ben with us! Maybe we will camp there sometime........ </div>

Winter is long up here in Idaho, and we were experiencing some cabin fever and boredom. Tired of the few indoor play places here in town we needed something else to do, so I started working with Sophia writing her letters and her name. I printed a paper for each letter and once she gets the hang of it I put dots on a lined piece of paper for her to write her own letter instead of tracing it.</div>

Ben was itching to go snowboarding after we got a bunch of new snow, so he took Sara and Brandon to Kelly Canyon one Saturday morning. From what I heard they all had a great time! Brandon likes to speed down the hill, but he stayed by Sara a lot to keep her company.</div>

We went to Utah for a friends wedding and while we were gone there was a huge snow storm. In fact we stayed in Utah an extra day because the roads were so bad. When we got home we had at least 2 feet of snow on our driveway. There was no way we could have shoveled all that snow. Luckily a friend around the corner let Ben borrow his snowmobile with a plow. It was hard enough just shoveling the front walk, so I was super grateful we didn't have to attempt shoveling the entire driveway.</div>

Brandon asked us to move the van outside so he could practice riding his new ripstik. It was freezing cold, but he stayed out there for a long time. Now that the snow is melting he is outside almost every day and getting a lot better!</div>

Sophia got an Innotab with a Jake and the Neverland Pirates game. She likes playing the Kindle Fire better because it has all the apps she likes, but she still plays her Innotab a lot and especially in the van on long drives. Sara and I both got tickets in our stockings to go see Les Miserables Christmas day, so after presents we got ready and met our friends at the theatre. It was such a great movie! I have seen it twice now and am going again this weekend. It just gets better and better!</div>

I love Christmas, but am always glad when it's over. It's a lot of work and we are always so busy! It has been nice to settle back into our routine.</div>

A neighbor of mine is an artist and often does work for the Ensign. He painted Sophia a while ago and her picture was in the December issue for a Latter Day Saint voices story. It turned out so cute!</div>

We were only gone for a couple of days, but we had a great time relaxing and wandering the shops in Jackson. We ate really well and drank a lot of hot chocolate! I am so lucky to be married to my best friend and I can't wait to see where we are in another 16 years.</div>

Every year I kept seeing these families I know with gorgeous family pictures with the beautiful fall colors. There is a small window in Idaho when the leaves turn colors and before it gets too cold and it snows. I kept missing that window and didn't make an appointment soon enough. This year I called in September to make an appointment and started putting the outfits together. Here are a few of my favorites:</div>

Our dog Zurie...........let's just say that some days are better than others, meaning some days I clean up more messes than other days. She has really bad separation anxiety, so when I leave she destroys. For some reason she has a personal vengeance against bags of any kind and always rips then to shreds. It has kind of helped with my habit of leaving things in bags laying around the house.</div>

We did our best to kennel train her, and even had the kennel in our room, but I think she is also claustrophobic. Whenever we would put her in there at night or when we would leave she would hyperventilate, stress out and poop. One morning she broke out! The kennel is taken apart and stored in our garage now. I also doggy-proofed the laundry room so she could stay in there, but with the separation anxiety she just freaked out and pooped every time I left. Now she goes outside when I leave. We are in the process of finding a dog house or maybe building one ourself.</div>

For the record (Nicole) we still have her and are getting better at entertaining her, so when she is left alone she doesn't have a lot of pent up energy. We realized it's our fault she is doing a lot of bad things, and we need to be better about walking and playing with her. Now to deal with the digging.......ahhhhh, the joys of having a puppy. It's not for the weak or the lazy :)</div>

Disneyland in August? Not a good idea! It was soooooo hot!! Since Brandon likes to go on rides and Sara doesn't so much one of us would go with Brandon and the other stay with the girls. We would switch off after we met up for lunch or sometimes switch every other day. Sophia had to go to the bathroom a lot and the stroller was a pain, but it was lots of fun when you got your turn to go on some real rides and hang out with Brandon.</div>

I got Sophia's face painted and it had kind of washed off and smudged half-way through the day. I was trying to stay positive and not think about the waste of money, but it was expensive for face painting! When Ben was taking her around on some rides an employee said that she could go back and get it redone the same day for free!! Yippee!!</div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">He has gone as far as he can go at the beginner level, so I signed him up for black belt training. He gets to train with weapons, and continue until he gets his black belt. I never thought I would let my kids do martial arts, but it has been amazing! It teaches control and discipline as well as respect which I think most kids of this generation lack. I highly recommend finding a good studio in your area. Most of them will let you try it out first so you can tell if your child will like it and if you like the instructors and how they teach. Southwick Academy is close to home and the instructors genuinely love working with kids and helping them grow!</span></div>
