back track

home sweet home. i didnt realize how much laundry we had accrued over the last month. we are happy to be in our little apartment that we call home, but we miss our families and the joy of having the beautiful mountains of utah in our backyard:( 

now i have a lot of catching up to do. we partied hard (and worked a little) this last month in utah. it

was a blast! everyday was an adventure. get ready for lots of pictures. 

we decided to have a little party in the mountains for my brother's birthday. everyone came up to help celebrate. 

jaycee helped decorate nate's tent and even collected all these flowers (weeds) to give to him when he got there. surprise!

nate is the s'more master. he made us all reeses s'more delights. yum. after s'mores we all sat around the fire and each took a turn telling ghost stories. noah was quite the story teller (the husband...mmm....adopted baby from kenya.... not so much:))

we even had a stealthy visitor in the middle of the night. it scared all the "men" so much....they thought it was a human coming into our camp....they spoke loud enough for our night visitor to hear...."nate, get my gun ready" (we dont own a gun)

you guys really showed this little guy. 

we love camping. there is something about being around a fire and looking into 'the night sky' (inside joke) with all those stars. the husband made a delicious breakfast for everyone when we woke up....cinnamon french toast, scrambled eggs, bacon, chocolate milk, orange juice, hot chocolate, and doughnuts. wow. he really knows how to camp. he's an eagle scout.

we couldnt let the party stop there. nate is just to great of a brother to only celebrate once. we kept the fiesta going with pinatas and more back at the pack residence. we love celebrating our brother. he is one cool dude. i dont know anyone with a more caring and considerate heart. he has seen and been through a lot and still keeps going strong. i am so proud of where his life is today. i love you brother!!!

 happy birthday.
