Craft Projects


Over the past year I have been able to do a couple fun craft projects. The first was to create a "family book" for Neil to show him his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I took a board book I had received from the pediatrician's office and clear taped family pictures and name labels over each page in the book. The Family Book is one of Neil's favorites and we have really enjoyed reading it to him.

My second craft project was to create a birthday calendar. I started by making one for myself, and my mom loved the idea so much she asked me to make one for her as well. I took what I had learned from my first attempt and made a second one that was much better. The word got out, and now I have made many birthday calendars for family members. Maybe someday I will create an Etsy shop for them.

Camping Adventure at Penrose Point State Park

This past weekend Mr. D and I went camping at Penrose Point State Park with a family we have been friends with for almost three years! We decided to carpool there together with our camping gear and all seven of us in their van. After we got there, we made hotdogs for dinner, s’mores and cobbler for dessert, and enjoyed spending time together in front of the campfire. The following morning we walked over to the water and had fun discovering crabs in the rocks. Here are some of the photos from the trip: Checking out an alive sand dollar  Looking for crabs on the water  Crazy tree and roots This was the website we used to book the reservation: https://washington.goingtocamp.com/PenrosePointStatePark -Mr. D and Mrs. M

Neil's friends visit

  Our friends from Seattle were in town visiting for a work conference in Park City and they stopped by our home and stayed with us for a day. We loved seeing them and getting to have our boys play together. There was a lot to do at our home-- play with legos, practice baseball, enjoy the chickens, and read together. Hope to have them visit again next time they are here for a work trip or to ski.

Camping

This past weekend our family got to go camping with cousins, and we had a great time.  We live in Highland Utah, which is near the American Fork Canyon entrance. We chose to go to the Timpooneke campsites, which is really close to us. We went there a couple times last year. The campsites are really nice. At each campsite is a concrete slab with a fire pit and picnic table, as well as flat ground to place your tent (plus walkable to drinking water, an outhouse, etc.).  We went with David's sister's family and the kids loved gathering around the fire, playing games, and exploring together. We even got to take our paddle boards out to Tibble Fork Reservoir. Here are photos from our trip: Campground link:  https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/231938
