Kim & Dave's yearly truck trip (Aug 6, 2012 - Aug 10, 2012)

 This was our load down to Texas. It was fun watching them drive them onto our trailer.

In Texas, while we were waiting to load a big wind/rain storm came out of nowhere. It was so bad they had to close the doors to the loading area and wait out the storm. I got a little scared because the loaders were showing me how the clouds were twisting together while they told me how they had a tornado there a week ago and they though we might get another one that night! All I could think of was good thing that Tyler was not with us. Although, I had a perverse desire to see a tornado in real life.I spent my time looking out the window, waiting for the tornado to come.

 Kiersten and Kanyon came to visit as we unloaded our trailers. Kanyon loves his Ga papa. Aren't they cute together.

Grandkid fun (August 5th, 2012)

The first Sunday of every month is Daddy dinner. We absolutely love having all the kids and grand kids come over for dinner! It is a fun time to see everybody and play with the grand kids.

Kim's Photo Shoot (Summer 2012)

For my birthday and Christmas gift in 2011, Dave gave me a gift to help build my self esteem. He bought me a professional photographer and a professional stylist, to give me some pictures of myself that I could proud of. I must admit, I was a little apprehensive at first. I am not photogenic and I am extremely self conscious. I was worried about posing in front of someone and not feeling stupid.

Luckily, the photographer was amazing! Not only was she willing to give up a couple hours of her free time to help me shop and find an outfit, but she made me feel very at ease. It helped that she also told me how to pose every single inch of my body! David did a great job picking her. She is a great person.

I hope you don't think I am being self center by posting all my pictures, but I love the gift David gave me and I am proud of my pictures. So I am going to post them all here, for me to have and remember.

Will & Dad up at Boys Scout Camp New Fork (July 28th - Aug 4th, 2012)

Dave has been great and gone to Boy Scout camp with Will for the last 2 years. This year they went to Camp New Fork, located in New Fork Wyoming. Sometimes I can be a worried parent, sending my kids to camp for a week in the wilderness, tends to bring out my fear a little bit. With Dave there, I don't have the same stress. I know he will take care of our boys no matter what.

The first year Dave went, I loaned him my super cool, super light weight, super expensive backpacking sleeping bag. It is rated for 0 degrees. Besides the fact that my bag is super cool, he didn't like it. Dave complained and complained that my bag was horrible and that he froze his super cute butt off. So this year, he refused my offer of my bag and took his own. I bought him a pad at Smith & Edwards to sleep on, because Will (who appreciates my super cool backpacking equipment) took my light weight pad for himself. Well sometimes you can't do anything right, because Dave complained that the $50 pad was horrible and not only did he freeze, but the ground was so hard his back was killing him. Remember, this is coming from a man that spends most of his week sleeping in a truck. So I have made a promise to Dave that this upcoming year in 2013, I will spend the $100 plus dollars and buy him a real pad to sleep on.

They had church on Sunday up at cam New Fork. Will is on the 2nd row on the right.

 

Here are the scouts at their wood carving merit badge class. Apparently the boys already started making their wood things on Sunday, but the teacher didn't believe they really made them and made them start all over!

 

Isn't my Will a good looking boy. Even after camping.

I love this picture Dave took of Will about to shoot his arrow! 

He could pass for Kevin Costner in "Robin Hood!"

 

The scouts and leaders canoed over to spend the night in a self made shelter. 

Will and Dave won the "race" across the lake.

Looks a little drafty, but they loved it!

Kids playing in tent (July 27th, 2012)

My boys are typical boys and love to set up and play in tents. Even if it is only inside the house. This time they got Mariana to go along with them.

Playing at Grandma Roos's house (July 24th, 2012)

The boys always love it when they get to go and see Grandma. She always does a great job spending time playing with her grand kids. My kids know that she loves them and they love her in return. Grandma Roos bought a ton of water squirters. Somehow, I managed to stay somewhat dry while taking these pictures of my kids and Michelle's playing.
