Just a couple photos and notes! Ha, ha.

I have a ton of posts to catch up on. Figuring the baby will be here in the next week or two, I thought I better get them done today. So hold on.....I have a ton of pictures and journeling of the last month and a half or so...
Here are the boys at the fathers/sons campout. They went up near our bishop's house and had a good time fishing and roasting marshmallows. They didn't catch any fish but still had a good time being out with their dad.

Here's Zach on his last day of 1st grade! Idn't he cute?!

Memorial Day weekend we celebrated my little brother Nathan's graduation (Good Job Nate!)and Ethan's birthday! My Dad and Debbie came up from California. Then we were surprised by my Grandma Ellen Haskin coming in from northern Idaho. I'm going to miss that family reunion this year so it was really nice of my Grandma to come down so I could see her. It was a great time hanging out with them, even though the time was short. My dad got us a night's stay at a local hotel here for Ethan's birthday...so the next weekend we had a quiet evening to ourselves with a nice dinner too. The next morning we got up and ready (minus the kids) and enjoyed sitting down for a nice continental breakfast before heading off to church. It was wonderful!!! Thanks a ton Dad and Debbie, it was a great time....and thanks Mom, John, and Monica for watching the kiddos and getting them all ready and meeting us at church. What a great present for me...er I mean...Ethan:)
A couple days into summer, Zach was asked to watch and care for some animals while family was out of town. So here is Zach getting ready to feed my Uncle Tom's baby goat. He was the cutest little thing, almost made me want to bring him home.

Zach named him Chasper! Here is one of our morning feedings. Note Cheyenne still in her pajamas with crazy hair.

Scott and he also helped feed my cousin's dog Jackson for a weeks or so.



Cheyenne's 2nd Birthday!

I tried and tried to get a good picture of her at two years old, but this little girl does not cooperate with the camera. We are trying to teach her how to "smile". Happy happy birthday Cheyenne! We love and enjoy you so much!

Here's Uncle Nate and Aunt Dani helping Chey get into her presents.

She got some pajamas, this basket of food, an alphabet caterpillar, a glow worm, and some great clothes, lots of cute skirts/shirts/shorts outfits. Thanks everyone, I think she's set for summer!

Here's my mom dishing up the yummy cake and ice cream.
Aunt Monica and Grandma Katie.

The boys enjoying the cake and ice cream. Grandpa John and Ethan were in the other room with theirs:)



Hull Cousins!
Taylor, Cameron, Zachary, Scott, and Mason

So we recently took a trip to Utah for our newest little nephew's blessing. A few years back I stayed a week or so in the summer-time and the boys had a ball together. I figured this trip would be my last get away before the baby so I drove seperate from Ethan so that I could stay longer when he had to return for work. We went up and enjoyed Friday and Saturday seeing some friends of ours, Great Grandma Wilson, Grandma and Grandpa Hull, Ethan's brother Eric, and my brother, Nick, and wife Erica. It was nice to be back in Utah and enjoy Ethan's parent's place as well as their company. We BBQ'd Saturday night and had my brother over so their company was great too! Then Sunday morning we drove up to Aaron and Crystalyn's for Emmett's blessing. Ethan left later that day to return for work. The next few days I enjoyed hanging out with Crystalyn and the boys. These cousins get along soo great and play hard all day. That's the benefit of living in the country too, they can ride bikes, run, and play all day. I loved getting to know little Emmett and having Crystalyn and Aaron to conversate with. Thanks for a fabulous weekend guys. You were great hosts and put up with a lot of Cheyenne tantrums. I'm sure you were glad by the time we left, but I really had a nice relaxing couple of days. We will definitely make the cousin's week a tradition.
The pictures above and below are of the boys taking a trip to a nearby lake with Uncle Aaron to roast some hot dogs for dinner, and skip the millions of rocks across the lake. Can you see how much fun they have together!

Thursday we returned to Ogden. I dropped the kids off with my brother and SIL and went to a nearby rec center to surprise my old Young Women while they were swimming. It was their girls camp week and I was planning on going to their camp, but they got rained out, so I met them at a local pool instead. It was fun to see them all again. I then returned to Nick and Erica's, had a nice, but too short of a visit, and then we headed home. We were planning on coming home Friday, but with the change in camp, I was able to get out of there earlier. So we surprised Ethan when we got home a night early. It was a great trip!


A few days later, my stepdad's grandkids came to visit. So they all went fishing at Angel Lake.
Casey, Zach, Carson, and Scott

Here's Zach catching his first fish!

Here's Scott with his. They came home soo excited. A fun day with Grandpa John (thanks for taking them John!) and cousins again.

Here's my cutie kids just before church. I wanted a more recent shot of them before our new addition.


So I hope you enjoyed my little rundown of the last couple months. I have more pictures on cell phones of other fun things...maybe one day I'll get to them! Happy summer everyone!
