Smore's up AF canyon, family time!!



Because we haven't had enough fun this week.... Kaj and I decided to take the kids to the pool and then head up to roast some marshmallows in the canyon. It is a lot of work getting 7 kids dressed and ready for the pool: Swim suits, swim diapers/plastic covers, life jackets, wipes, bottles/formula, snacks, towels, sunscreen, dry clothes/diapers, swim toys and stroller for Tui.. Once we get to the pool I wont even mention how nerve racking it is watching all of them!!( Kaj and I are constantly counting heads. The kids are getting a little more comfortable in the water and that means its a little more dangerous for the younger ones, AKA DUGI!!!) But they LOVE the pool so we were more than happy to take them.

After the pool was over we had to get home to change, have dinner (roman noodles:), lay out some of our church clothes, pack up smores stuff, and still have time to stop for firewood.... *ohh and when I say pack up a few things that includes grandma and grandpa, They really do help soo much!! Whenever Kaj and I go anywhere one of  us always asks if mom and dad are going to be able to come. It eases our nerves having 2 more sets of eyes and hands for all of the kids, and they are really good company to have:O) Plus we need another car since not everyone can have a seat belt in ours.* So after we loaded up both cars we were on our way.

The drive was absolutely breath taking!! I love summer time and how beautiful the canyons are, I feel like its a little piece of Heaven here on earth. Something that is meant for us to enjoy, and I hope my kids get the same feeling I get when I'm taking in all of Heavenly Fathers beautiful creations... After a WHOLE LOTA fun outside we had to hurry home... We had to get 7 kids bathed, the rest of our church clothes layed out and EVERYONE in bed ON TIME so we will be able to make it to 8:30 AM church!!! Speaking of 830 church I should probably get up and get myself ready for the sabbath..

I LOVE MAKING MEMORIES TOGETHER ! Here are a few pictures to enjoy:)

Ohh and before I go to bed I have to share some funny pictures from this morning... (kaj had a ward softball game this morning. Since it started pretty early and then Kaj was asked to stay and play in the second game the kids were ALL PRETTY CRANKY... thank goodness for grandmas STICKERS!!!)

Dugi had stickers EVERYWHERE!

Poor lady next to us was soo sweet, she let Dugi sit in her chair for a good part of the game.

someone would put the stickers on Kynlie, and she would peel them off and eat them:) haha

They loved putting the stickers on there faces

Yep Bri had to have the green ones
