It's funny how my kids won't pose or smile nicely for a picture unless they really want one taken, such as here with their cat.

Did you know...
we have scorpions in the Salt Lake Valley! I've had two bug extermination companies tell that we don't but I have the proof. I've even tried to google information about scorpions here in the valley and haven't had luck finding anything. However, I found this little one in my family room, still alive. I was trying to vacuum up what I thought was a wood chip from my kid's shoes and couldn’t figure out why it wouldn't vacuum up. When I reached down to pick it up it started to move!
I would have thought it a fluke to find a scorpion in my house except I found one exactly like it last fall. Our house backs a large open space which is frequented by lots of wild life such as deer, fox, quail, snakes-all sorts of critters apparently including scorpions. (Bug guy's coming on Monday.)

Our annual camping trip to Bear Lake
Brandt, Soupie and girls joined us this year! We had a great time camping, swimming, playing in the sand and roasting hot dogs and marshmallows.
Every year Jay likes to build a sandcastle at the beach. Here is this year's creation.
Brandt joined in the fun. 
This year, Nana and Papa started a new tradition of having the grandkids put their handprints on their tent in paint. Of couse the paint didn't just get on the tent.
Tayler was so happy to share some of her sand with everyone.
Burying each other in the sand. Does it get any better than that?
On the way home, we stopped at Rick's Spring in Logan Canyon for a quick break and to stretch our legs.
Spaghetti Dinner Wednesdays
Every Wednesday we all get together at Nana Donna's house for spaghetti dinner. Have you ever watched kids eat spaghetti? It's a mess! Then the cousins all get to go downstairs and play while the adults have some much needed quiet time away from the kids. Yeah for grandmas!!!
