Hunting part 1

Hunting adventure part 1

 Dennis and Emilee at the "Ice Cave." A small little cave that had ice crystals- even in August!

This look out point had me terrified that Dennis would hold Emilee off the edge just like the Lion King! I didn't even dare walk up there. It was so high! You could see forever but it was really pretty.



I think the flash was a bit too much but Em loves her Daddy.

The little hunter

With Grandpa Dan

Walking to Paradise Lake

First time fishing

She had to paint her face with camo paint just like the hunters do

Roasting marshmallows

I swear Daniel has a sleeping disorder every camping/hunting trip. He will nap for like 4 hours at a time. So we thought it was would be funny to put bows in his hair while he was asleep.  :)

Daniel's Utah deer, killed right outside Vernal (and after all that camping!)

Daniel's Colorado deer. He was gone for over a week with his dad and came back with this.....

..... Crazy facial hair after not shaving. Had to be documented.

In other news,

 Em got a new big girl bed! She loves it and did really good at first, but now we find her coming into our bed at about 3, or 4 or 5 or 7 every morning. Oh well....

My Grandpa Blaine also passed away at the age of 90. He will be greatly missed by many people. He was one of the very most kind hearted man I've ever know and we always loved going to St. George to visit with them. He would often make us "egg McMillan's" for breakfast (like a egg mcmuffin). Playing cards at night around their table will always be a favorite memory.  We traveled to Fielding, UT  for a lovely burial service where he was also born.

 

let's play some catch up....

 

 

Well the last time I blogged it was spring time, now it's nearly winter so yes I have been slacking! I'll do a quick re-cap of our fun summer activities.

 

 First up: a family vacation to St. George. Boating with all the McMillan's and visiting my dear grandparents. We got a great Condo and spent the days at Quail Creek and Sand Hollow "Just enjoying our memorial day weekend!"

This was also the trip that we announced to my family that we were expecting baby #2! So I never got to do any skiing or tubing on our boating adventures, I just became the boat bum but that was ok.

 

Boating Trip to Pineview

The McMillan's decided to go on a boating trip to Pineview reservoir because it was a Wilcox favorite and we had never been there. If Blaine and my mom loved it, we are sure to love it too, and we did!

         Emilee just loves to be around her aunt "JuJu." I do love that she adores her aunts so much (and Uncles too!)

                                                                       Uncle "Addy"

 Everybody was so amazing at wakeboarding and waterskiing. Even my Dad got up in one try! Julia was crossing the wake like a champ and even got some air! I was impressed.

 

Glad to get some time in with her adorable cousins

 

We spent a lot of time in the Condo's swimming pool. There was one that was only a foot and a half deep so it was perfect for these little ones to play in all day. Ruby just celebrated her first birthday, so we had a one year old, a two year old and a three year old.

 

LOVE her. need I say more?

 

more catching up to come..........
