Camping at Willow Flat

We pretty much only go camping once a year, but we love it! We go to the Kilpatrick family's nostalgic spot at Willow Flat campground near the family farm in Franklin, ID. It really is a beautiful, beautiful place. We have a lot of fun together, and normally have some sort of disaster to remember the year by. This year is the year of Blake falling in the river. It was a very innocent accident and luckily Katie was there in literally two seconds to save him. Other than that we had a pretty uneventful, fun time hiking, fishing, relaxing, and eating!

Cousins on a beautiful hike!

The whole fam at the mouth of Cub RiverMarlee, Papa, and Brynn resting on the hikeKelsey actually started to like the back-pack after awhile. She would ask for ba-pa.Dirty and tired, but very happy!

Lake Powell

We were so lucky to go on a trip to Lake Powell over Memorial Day weekend. We had perfect weather and even though the lake was a little cold we had TONS of fun! We were surrounded by beautiful scenery, wonderful people, and over course, lots of good food. A HUGE thank you to Mellissa and Deb for their generousity in providing this fun trip! Here are a bunch of pictures of the great time we had! A beautiful sunset

The boat full of people and someone surfing behind it.

Mary on the fun water trampoline!

The awesome boat we got to stay on. Even though there were 44 of us, it didn't even feel that crowded...I'm being serious!

Kelsey loved pretending to drive the house boat.

Mary got to wakeboard for the second time in her life. She went a couple times and did so good. She loved it!

Our little truck driver Lucy enjoying herself on the boat!

Bubs did not like the lifejacket, but did like the boat!

Everyone having so much fun on the boat.

Isn't Cess so cute!?!

Lucy made a new friend Kylie on our trip. They played so cute together. Here was their favorite game...put sand all over our bodies

and then wash it off! This is the most Lucy got in the water. Swimming isn't her thing yet.

The villan and his two victims...just kidding, but on this occasion Nate pushed Kathryn in the water and in her instict to try and not fall in she grabbed on to Mary and pulled her in too. Mary got a little freaked out, but everyone was fine and even Mary was laughing a few minutes later.

Mary was so brave and jumped off the top of the house boat! Mom did too, but luckily we didn't get a picture of that.

On the last day, Kacy finally got in the water (it was quite cold). Here he is swimming with Mary and Brynn.

I think we might have our boy!

Kelsey is a very energentic little toddler, and there are 3 reasons I think she might be our boy...
1. The minute Kelsey laid eyes on this outfit at Trey's birthday party, she fell in love. She was screaming "ruff ruff" all night. Cousin Trey was kind enough to let her have it, and she LOVES to wear it.

2. She really likes to play with cars, trucks, etc. When we visited cousin Colin she loved his matchbox cars (and even took a couple home with her). This is a tractor that Rowen left at our house much to Kelsey's delight.

3. When Kelsey saw these underwear (they are cousin Blake's) she went crazy. She asked me to put them on her, and was very happy to model them for me. When I finally took them off her, she threw QUITE the fit.

So there, nobody needs to feel bad for us that we haven't had a boy...we are getting a taste of it...and we love it. Kelsey cracks us up regularly!

Lucy's Pre-school Program

May 17th Lucy had her final Pre-School program! She has loved going to Mrs. Amber's pre-school, and has made so much progress this year! According to her parent-teacher confrence, she is doing really well. Her program was full of darling songs, and Lucy sang so well. I can't believe she will be going to Kindergarten in a matter of months! Getting ready for the program!

Brynn's Soccer Season

Brynn also played soccer this year, she played on a Spanish Fork City league team coached by her best friend's mom! They were the Robins, or the "Rockin' Robins" as they coach nick-named them. Her team was a very cute group of girls including several of her friends. Brynn had a lot of fun, and has improved a lot since last year. Brynn with Abby!

Mary's Soccer Season

This year Mary played for a AA Soccer Team called the Spanish Fork Dragons. She had a lot of friends on the team, and a great coach, Jared Young. Mary loves soccer, and even socred two goals this season! Her team did great, and even made it to the semi-finals of tournament.
Too bad her mother forgot to bring the camera to any games...here is a picture of her in her uniform AFTER a game, as well as some from her team party.

The team minus three players.

Such a cute group of girls!!

Dance Recital 2010

Saturday, May 8th was the annual Dance Recital! Brynn and Lucy have been doing dance for a few years now. They love it, and are pretty darn cute at it if I do say so myself! They each do a tap dance and a jazz dance. I was so proud of both of them, they did their dances very well and had big smiles on their faces the whole time. Lucy blew some great kisses as she was exiting the stage...they were part of my mother's day present! The girls were also lucky to have their aunts, uncles, and cousins come watch them. It was a fun night! Aunt Katie was so nice and did both of their hair before the recital, they both looked so cute and loved their hair.
Little Lucy!

Brynncess!

They look like they love each other...so rare!

Full view of the costumes...they were pretty cute this year. Brynn's tutu was exchanged for fringe for her "car wash" dance.
