camping, BBQ and a baby blessing

We had a great weekend!  On Friday we headed to a local canyon with 30 other people from the ward and camped.  We had tons of baby campers, some 1st timers and I don't think any last timers.  SUCCESS!!!  We ate, camp-fired, slept (not much), rapelled (some 1st timers on that one too!) and the kids climbed rocks until they couldn't climb any more. 

Em and her best buddy Jayne.  These two think something is wrong if they don't get to play every day. 

Jayne's little sister, Jersey.  a.k.a "Jers" to Van, his partner in crime.  These two are trouble.

A little PJ rapelling with my friend Sonna - her 1st time!  She did great!

These cute girls drug their camp chairs all over kingdom come. 

Dad and cute Van eating man-sized sandwiches for dinner in the back of Ruby.



 And we got together with my red heads and their families for a little BBQ since we were all in the same town for once! - for Maggi and David to bless baby Liam in church.  I apparently didn't get any pictures of Jack or Liam, but they were there and they were ADORABLE!!  Our kids play so cute together.  They must love each other because their mommies love each other so much. 


Dudes in the car.  I'm sure you can imagine how much coaxing it took to get Van out of this car for any extended period of time. 

young love - Isn't Russell's smile the cutest thing you've ever seen?

Look out boys - that little girl is a knock out!  Russell seems to think so!
