Up the Canyon

Last weekend our friends invited us up to the canyon to roast hotdogs and smores. The forecast didn't call for rain, so of course it....poured. We went with the Kendalls, the Pitts, and the Moores. We had 15 kids between the 4 couples, and there are hardley any pictures of any of them because they didn't mind getting soaked- they were "exploring" the entire time. The ladies just sat around and allowed the men to do all of the work. I stole all of these pictures off of Sam's blog.... thanks Sam for being the photographer!I'm trying to block my face from the smoke from the fire.

We still had such a great time, and the kids loved it. Poor Bear burned his little finger on the metal surrounding the firepit. I couldn't believe how everyone jumped into action. Corrine got her first aid kit, Sam got a cup of water and held him while he calmed down and Malina got him a treat so he would stop crying.
I seriously have amazing people in my life. I am so blessed with wonderful friends. I was talking to a few people about this when Andy and I were deciding to buy our home. I had searched and searched for the perfect house. We actually put offers on two other houses before this one that we live in now. I remember the feeling when I walked into my home the first time I saw it. I knew it was "the one" and I told the realtor right then, before I even saw the rest of the house. I love my little house so much, but even more, I love that it has given me the opportunity to meet some of the most amazing people I have ever known. I have such supportive, helpful, giving people in my life and I am so grateful for every single one of them. You all know who you are, and if you're not sure, come ask me.... I'll let you know ;)

That looks like fun! Too bad about the rain though. I hope Bear's finger is better.

So sad, little Baron! Coast burned his fingers so bad on the oven a couple weekends ago, and it broke my heart. Now they are scarred, and I feel horrible about it! The worst part is that the oven wasn't even open, he managed to stick his hand into the side of the oven and get burned! Leave it to the kids to figure that out. Hope Barons finger is ok...
