Strawberry Fun!

This past weekend we went to Grandma Carrie's Cabin with some on my family (Spier). My mom was wonderful... She cooked breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Biscuits and gravy one day and Pancakes w/homemade syrup the next. It was awesome. She also made dutch oven stew for dinner. On Friday after we unpacked our stuff in the cabin we headed down to fossil creek. We had tinfoil dinners down there and played in the water!

Abram had fun with the girls in the "frothy" water! Amalee was cold and ready to get out.

Maggie was having fun holding onto the rope and letting the water move her around!

Just a cute picture of our family!

The next 3 pictures are of our lifesavers. They helped us with our girls so much. We couldn't have done this trip without them!

Matt and Julie

Sara and Booly(nickname)

On Saturday we hiked to Fossil Springs. This is where our lifesavers helped so much! Matt carried Maggie most of the way down and part of the way back up. This hike was a little over 4 miles. Since we had our girls it took about 2 hours to hike in and over 3 hours to hike out. Booly and Sara helped so much with Amalee. They carried her down most of the way and kept her mind off of walking the whole was up. Amalee was such a trooper. She walked all the way up except for the really rocky parts. My mom Booly and Sara would take turns carrying her.

My mom was so sweet too! She took my pack from me so that I wouldn't have such a hard time. I don't think I will ever do this hike again pregnant.

Taking a break from walking!

I like these kind of walking pics!

The first part of the hike back up my mom had Maggie on her back in her backpack. Maggie fell asleep and then Matt took her for a while. Abram had Maggie for about the last mile and a half.

She is having so much fun!

Thank you all again for all your help. We had a blast and hope to do it again!

Muddy Day!

Abram had a fun day doing something he loves to do! We started the day with a mud volleyball tournament. They lost the first match but ended up winning the rest of their games and became the champions of the tournament!

The "Spiker's" (Brent, Kevin, Bethany, Emmalee, Abram, Stacia, and Chris)

What they looked like after the first game. They got muddier as the games went on!

Abram receiving the winnings! $100 gift card to Uncle Bears Restaurant.

After they won Abram let the girls play in the mud!

Amalee and Maggie in the Human car wash!

The first two video's are at Monsoon Madness. Abram cleaning off in the human car wash and Abram having fun going on a fire hose slip and slide! He said that this day was one of the funnest he has ever had!

Our ward had a swim party and Abram had Amalee jump off the diving board! She loved it and kept wanting to do it again and again!
