White Pine Lake

Jas and I went backpacking up Tony Grove to White Pine Lake. We met Jason's friend Luke and his girlfriend Sheena up there. It was just an over nighter. I think it's about 8 miles round trip. It was really beautiful and more fun than I thought it would be, probably because Jason hauled the 45 lb backpack and I had a 5-10 lb pack.
Luke found a cave that he wanted to go explore. It was very steep and rocky getting there, but it was pretty impressive. I was a little worried about cave monsters, but luckily we did not see any. It was kind of a creepy cave, like one out of Indiana Jones. It went back pretty deep, but Sheena and I opted to stay in the mouth of the cave while the boys shimmied inside the crevasses.
It was pretty dark inside the crevasses but Jas still took a few pictures.
Luke and Jas being cool.
Sheena went down bumb style most of the way. It was a little treacherous.
Boys being boys. Seeing if they could throw rocks into the lake from our campsite. Of course they didn't stop until they did it.
Then they wanted to see the girl's skills. We were not even close.
Heading out.

family vacay...PC, UT

Jason, Owen, Nixon and I went to Park City on Thursday and stayed over in a hotel. Jason wanted to have one more fun weekend before school starts. On Friday we walked around main street.

My blog title and the message on my voice mail...of course I had to take a picture with it. It's the story of my life!

Owen loved the art moose's around town.

Roarin' with grizz.

The rest of my whole family, Annette, Mandi and Ryan's family met us in Park City. Melissa and Steve stayed in our room with us. Owen was not happy about giving up his "huge, big bed", but cheered up after he stole "Unca Stege's" hat. all of us(minus the keller's)met at Pizza Hut for dinner. It was really delicious. Then we headed back to the hotel and went swimming.

Melissa and I bought these darling jumpsuits for $0.99.


Monica, Amberly, Annette, Mom, Dave and Steve were the only ones that did not participate in the swimming. Yeah, Monica, who thinks she was meant to be a dolphin, stayed completely dry...she bugs!

Brooklyn loved jumping in.


Owen loved swimming and fell off the stairs and drowned a few times. He had to be watched constantly because he is very clumsy and did not mind going under the water, which is weird considering he cries his eyes out when i get his face wet in the bath. crazy boy!

chubby little Korver pants.


Kenz and Lexa.

Melissa, Melanie, Angela and Me. We all have to plug our noses when we jump in. We made quite a splash. It was good times.

Nixon loved his first hotel sleepover. He slept at least 9 hours both nights. What a good boy!

Saturday we shopped all day. The boys were great and I really appreciate Jason's love and patience for all day shopping with my whole family.


Haley and Lilly giving me their funny faces before they went home. They are such darling girls!
It was so fun hanging out with everyone for the weekend.

one month

nixon is one month old. he is getting bigger everyday. he is still gassy and needs to be held when he is awake. we are trying to get him to enjoy his swing...he doesn't last long in it. owen was not a fan of the swing either. he is eating every 2 hours during the day and sleeps 6-8 hours at night.

tribute

to the maker of the moo-moo(aka duster),

you have provided cool relief on hot summer nights
you have provided modesty when getting ready after the shower
you have provided large, roomy pockets to carry my treats and cell phone in
you have provided memories of my mom and neighbor clara that i will never forget
you have provided full coverage of my undergarments
you have provided comfort-especially in my large, pregnant days
you have provided convenience and ingenuity through your snaps system
you have provided so much more than any other jammie/loungewear ever has
you have provided me one of the greatest article of clothing i will ever own
and for this i pay tribute
thank you
thank you

seriously...best thing ever! my mom and my old neighbor used to wear these all the time and i have always been a fan. my mom got me my first one(the butterfly one)while in college. i loved it then and i love it now. it has only gotten more awesome through the years. sure, you might say the moo-moo is for aged women or morbidly obese women but i'll tell you what...i am bringing it back. my moo-moo collection has increased by 2 since receiving the first gem. 3 of my sisters are now sporting them and one of my cousins. sure, they used to make fun of me, call me grandma and what not, but now they don't know why they have been depriving themselves the greatness that is the moo-moo. it's revolutionary. i'm just sayin, give it a shot, it will not disappoint (especially if you have longer undergarments and/or are pregnant). the best place to buy the moo-moo's(and believe me, i've looked)is the Big K.

they are cute!

they are cool!they are sexy!

please send me a picture of yourself if you buy one! i love to pass on awesomeness to those i love!

3 weeks

Nixon is starting to look different to me everyday now. He is growing. He is a pretty gassy kid. I think he gets stomach aches after he eats cause he lets out weird random cries and then will fall back to sleep. He seems like he is in pain sometimes. It's so hard to tell what's going on when they are so little. He smiles and is even starting to talk a little bit every now and then. He is very strong and likes to look around when you hold him up on your shoulder. His eyes are turning blue. He likes being outside. He likes to be held when he is awake.
If only he could stay little like this for a few months.
