This weekend was amazing. We all had so much fun, even Koda thought she was in heaven. We went camping with our friends the Wilkinsons and had a blast. And considering we didnt have spots reserved, we found an amazing place that we will definitely go to again.
We were going to go to this great lake in the mountains that is first come first serve (hence the lack of reservations), but due to a wild fire 15 miles from there, the campground was closed. With a day to re-plan, but a horrible reservation site, we decided to just go anyways and hope for the best. We woke up early on friday morning to head out towards Tillamook. We found this awesome county camp site called Barview Jetty just north of Girabali. It was great and we got some big awesome spots.
He was so tired by the end of the day. We set up camp and poked around the campground. We found a cool sand dune that we had to climb. And I got this tent for my birthday to help make Camping a bit more comfortable. We called it Hotel de' Aida. Its a sweet 10 man tent that Justin can stand up in. Yes, I know we are only a little bunch of 4. And no, I am not going to have 8 kids to stuff this thing full. Its just roomy and comfortable and I love it.
My friend and I took our kids to the temple. It was much better than I thought it was going to go. We had a gorgeous day to walk around the grounds, sing "I love to see the temple" and sit in the atrium for the longest 2 minutes ever. The boys did an amazing job, but trying to keep a three, two and 9mo old quiet is tricky. So we continued back outside. 
The Oregon coast is beautiful. 
Beckham was loving the attention from their girls. 
Tin foil dinners and bon fires. Its what camping is all about right. That and Rhys lounging in their hammock. He loves to chill. 
And Koda took it upon herself to make herself comfy around the campfire after the kids went to bed. 
A couple weekends ago, we got to go with the McIlmoils to work their cows about an hour south of here. It was gorgeous! I would love to live on a farm one day with nothing but open land around me. 
We had a great time roaming around and playing outside. And it was actually a nice day. Justin got to try his hand at the cattle shoots and help with the immunizations. I think he loved it. On the way home he was trying to come up with a way we could buy a cow and have it live in the field behind our house. I knew he had a little country in him!

My friend Sheri and I have had a long standing tradition to go see Timmy every time he is on tour. Since she lives in CA, this year we decided to meet up in SLC. It was a blast. Not only did I get to take my good camera in, the show was so good! One of his best. With Lady Antebellum opening up for him, it was a great show!
