More Famous then Michael Jackson

So on Saturday we went to larry's brother's and sister in laws house to see there son Jake, and them as well, for Jakes birthday. Well we were sitting around and Stephanie had to go and get some stuff for Jakes party, so I went with her and Madison wanted to go as well so she came with us. Well we were got the stuff and were getting ready to check out and well you know at the register how they have all the magazines and well now that Madison reads she reads everything she see's. So she was looking at the magazine's that were sitting there and she saw a magazine that had Michael Jackson's picture and it said something on it about him. So Madison says to me and my sister in law "What is the big deal with Michael Jackson why are they still talking about him." My sister in law responds to her and says that he was a really famous person and that is why we keep on seeing and hearing things about him. So Madison says to her "You mean more famous then Hannah Montana" and so of course my sister in law responded back and said "yes more famous then Hannah Montana, it is hard to believe isn't it." So my sister in law got a good chuckle out of that because to Madison I guess no one is as famous as Hannah Montana. I love hearing the things that kids say. I just had to share this with everybody it was to cute to not share.

Quading

So one of our last camping trips we went on was a quading trip, well they call it riders camp because you go and ride your quads there. Well it all started that Madison and Larry were just going to go with our neighbors and then our neighbors couldn't go so at the last minute I decided that me and Zach and Carson would go with. It was actually alot funner then I thought it was going to be. So thank you so much to Carlee and Jason for letting us tag along. This is usually something that Carlee and Jason do with their friends so it was nice that we got to go. I know that Carlee doesn't mind us going but you know we see each other all the time, we are in the same ward we are in the same family and well you get where I am going with this. So it was fun and it was a good chance for us to see if this is something that the kids would really like to do. I know that I would really like to get my own quad now. To tell you the truth I was jelous that Larry got to go on the rides and I wasn't able to go with, it is just so much fun. The kids had a blast as well. Carlee and Jason's friends were very kind and and let the kids ride on there littler quads, the kids loved it. So guess what the kids want now. So here are a few pictures of our quad trip.

Larry putting on a little seat thing for the kids so that when they ride with him they don't fall off. Carson had to get involved in this as well.

On the way up the mountain this is what we had to wait for. Yes a sheep crossing. This is the kind of road we had to go up to get to riders camp except it was mostly up hill.

more sheep

Larry getting ready for one of his rides. I love the way he looks on a quad.

Zach riding a little quad and he had to stop and ask me if he could go faster. He did this alot of times and I just had to tell him not to go to fast. He is my dare devil.

Carson wanted so bad to go for a ride. Don't worry everyone this one is not turned on and the key was not in, he was just sitting on one that no one was using at the time. He loves the quads too.

Zach lovin his ride.

Here he comes

There he goes

Can you tell that Carson is making the noise of a quad.

Off Zach goes again.

Here is Madison, she has really come out of her shell this year and tried some new things and she loved this.

She probably could have used a bigger quad but this was good for her to learn on this one.

Here are some pictures of our drive down the mountain. It was very different from the drive up the mountain. It was smoother going down and and when we went up it was really bumpy and had alot of turns and stuff, but on the way down I would have to say was a little bit scarier. This is what we had to drive down. Can you see that there really isn't anything to the side of us but a cliff and we are pulling the trailer.

This is the cliff and don't worry I zoomed in so we weren't that close.

Here is a picture of the truck pulling the trailer. When we got home we washed both the truck and the trailer because it was so dusty.

More of the road that we drove down.

This is what happens to Carson when we drive on a bumpy road.

Oh my gosh we made it to a real road, thank heavens. It was alot more smooth from here on out because we were at the bottom of the mountain I think.

Well the next exciting thing that happened this summer is that my little sister got married. It was a long time coming. She had know her now husband for a couple of years and then they decided that they both really liked each other, well loved each other, and they decided to get married. Haley is happy and it was a nice casual wedding which is what Haley wanted. We had a BBQ for the reception and it was great. I am truly happy for her and glad that she has found her man. They are living in Las Vegas where she is still a teacher and she is going to school to get her masters and he is going to school to be a doctor. He is applying for medical schools so they are headed in the right direction and well now we will have a nurse and a doctor in our family. I think that is pretty good.

This was the day after the wedding Madison was helping me pick plums off of the tree and I thought it was cut.

The is my dad's back yard with the tables before the reception.

Can you tell they are happy about the pictures.

This is the day before the wedding or a couple of days before I just like this picture because Carson loves to be involved in everything that you are doing.

Fun Pictures

Hello everyone, I am back to blogging. I know it has been a long time but I just get busy and then I just don't blog. Well we have been very busy this summer and well I have more picture but I am starting with the ones in August because it would take me forever to blog about all the stuff we did.

Well in August we always go camping with my sisters and their family. So this year went and did that and we went to Lake Rosevelt, we always go there because we like it and it is right on the lake and it is hot. So we went there and well for some reason I didn't take pictures while I was there, probably because we have gone there for a couple of years now and there really isn't anything new to take a picture of. You can only take so many pictures of the kids swimming right. So we went there and after we went to Lake Rosevelt we stopped in Moses Lake and camped because we wanted to break up our driving because it isn't pleasant being in a car with Carson, he whines the whole time for no reason. So we camped in Moses Lake and we went to a nice water park there, it was nice and little and not to big, they had a lazy river and water slides and diving boards. Madison has gotten so good at her swimming that she now goes off of the diving boards and went down the water slides, she loved it. She also went off of the highest diving board that they had there and for some reason I dont' know what happened to that picture I can't find it. Zach loved it to even if he wasn't able to go on the water slides because he didn't meat the hight requirement. I tried to get him to go on the littler ones but he wanted nothing to do with them. Carson has grown to really love the water as well. He doesn't like to wear the life jacket though. He will get used to it though. After lake rosevelt we went home and unpacked. So here are some of the pictures at the moses lake water park.

Zach and Larry having fun in the water.

my boys

Madison on the waterslide, I had a better picture of her smiling but it was to fuzzy to put up.

On the way to Moses Lake we stopped here and now I can't remember what it was called.

Our family picture. We have one of all of us last year when Carson was a baby and I have the exact same hair do. Now remember we have already been camping for almost a week so we don't look our best.
