A Shower and some Salmon

Our little family up at Causey Reservoir.

Jackson with three of his cousins; Cole, Devin, and Harmony

Hiking up the trail. Jackson on Grandma's back. :)

So I threw a shower for my soon-to-be sister-in-law Taunie. I was a little nervous but it turned out great! She got a variety of gifts to fill her life, and spent time with great friends and family, it was fun! Now I need to start planning for Aubrey's baby shower for next month. :)

On Saturday we made our way up to Causey reservoir for a hike to see the Salmon run. Unfortunately most of the salmon did not get the memo to come!! So we went on a 4.6 mile hike with four kids and only saw like 7-8 fish. Our hypothesis is that the weather is still too hot. Well, hopefully the river will be filled with fish next year when we go.

Silver Lake

The last weekend of August, all the girls of my extended family headed up to the cabin to enjoy a scrapbooking
weekend. It was so much fun! The boys all go on a camping trip. However, Jackson came with me to the cabin.
(Needless to say, I didn't get as much scrapbooking done as everyone else!)
We all had so much fun gabbing, eating great food, and scrapping together.

So you are probably wondering why I have pictures of Jared on here too...Well,
Nate and Aubrey got home from Hawaii while we were on our various excursions so
they came up to the cabin to spend Saturday night with us. We went on a beautiful walk around
silver lake which is right by the cabin. It was so pretty and peaceful (minus the mosquitos!)

We had to hold onto Jackson to keep him from falling in. Like one boy did while we were there. We were
trying so hard not to laugh! Poor kid.
Then we had to hold onto Jackson's hand to keep him on the path! He does not like to hold hands with
us! But he is getting much better at it!

My sweet boys at the Lake.
