Look out! Here comes Bat Girl!!!


Karlee got invited to her cousin Bo's birthday party and it was a costume party. She was really excited to go and didn't take much time in deciding what she wanted to go as. Bat Girl! So I got busy putting this costume together. She loved how it turned out - me too!

We took some time before to do a mini photo shoot.



Just a funny face from this cute Bat Girl!


Oh and wouldn't you know it... when we ask her what she wants to be for Halloween, she says Super Girl and not Bat Girl. We'll keep pushing the Bat Girl idea, but she is pretty set on Super Girl so we'll just have to wait and see. Love this Girl!!!!

SLC Comic Con


We went to the SLC Comic Con this past weekend and wow was it crazy! Comic Con has been on Rob's bucket list (well if he actually had a bucket list it would be there). He has always talked of going to the Comic Con in San Diego, CA so hopefully this Comic Con will count. We got our tickets online (so we could bypass any lines) and when we got there we still had to wait in line.  Crazy! Even more crazy is that the event was SOLD OUT!!!


There really was a lot to see or should I say there were a lot of people to see. People that were all dressed up in costumes. Some better than others.  Seriously crazy!!!


This is one of my favorites - My two favorite people with Spiderman!!!


We met up with David and Amanda, Rob's brother and wife. Karlee was in heaven when Amanda put a superman cape on for her to wear.

We got pictures of all of Rob's favorites.

Family Reunion on Cedar Mountain


We had another successful family reunion. It was held at Duck Creek Campground on Cedar Mountain. My brother and his wife, Tom and Hayley, were in charge of all the festivities and it was super fun. Karlee thought that camping was so much fun, and being around all her cousins was probably the BEST thing ever she told me. ☺

Papa making his guesses for the jars.
We had traditional Guessing Jars and this was super fun. Lots of yummy treats for everyone to share while we camped over the weekend.


The guys had fun playing multiple games of Horse Shoes. Rob said that it had been years since he had played and boy did it show. haha. At least he had fun.


We went to Cascade Falls, which was a short little hike, that just about killed Karlee. haha. Actually she did pretty good. She definitely is not a hiker, liker her mom, but she was a good sport.


Back at our camp Hayley had fun activities for the kids. She helped all the kids make chalkboard notebooks, prepared a fun nature scavenger hunt.



Our Sweet niece Sydney turned 3 on Sunday while we were out camping. So it was time for presents, peach cobbler, and a super fun piñata. All the kids loved taking their turn at breaking down the piñata that was filled with lots more yummy candy.



There was lots and lots of yummy food. So much yummy food.




Camping isn't camping without a couple games of TRUMP! So yes there were two games of trump being played under my parents long canopy. Too much fun!


Papa always has a few Geo Caches for the kids to go and find. This year of the caches was full of treasures from Mexico. All the kids loved these treasures. The hunt for the cache is also lots of fun.



One of my favorite little people is Sydney (the birthday girl). She found the cookies, and just started cleaning out the inside filling of the cookies. I just sat and watched her take each cookie, open it up - scrape out the cream center - then quickly set the cookies down on the table. haha.  Silly Girl!!!


We had so much fun at this reunion, its always fun to pull out the tent, sleep outdoors, and eat yummy good food. Isn't that what Camping is all about.  ☺
