Our First Camping Trip of the Season

Lauren loved playing in the dirt!!!

We had a short weekend that we could go camping so we took the opportunity. We went to Davis Creek that was close by. As we were settling into our camp site, we were told by others that there was a bear in our site just the other night. So we were a little nervous about any uninvited visitors that night. It didn't bother the kids they had a great time!!

Tour De Nez

At the Grande Sierra Hotel, they were having a bike race for young and old. We told Aubrey about it and she really wanted to race. We knew she would do good, she loves to race in anything. She got dressed and ready to go. When we arrived, there were boothes to decorate your bike and face painting. Of course, Aubrey wanted to have a dolphin on her cheek but the "artist" couldn't do it and talked her into a flower. It turned out cute. After a little while of waiting it was Aubrey's groups turn to race. She was so excited but got stuck behind some kids with training wheels. The race went great! She came in around 5th place out of 50+ kids so she did awesome. She was upset though because she wasn't first! She finally decided to forget about it and enjoy the rest of her night. Later we went to Johnny Rocket's for dinner and enjoyed hanging out with our friends the Hodes. As we were leaving, Aubrey wanted to take her picture with Lauren. She started posing and later she said that she was posing like "Top Model". Is that bad that she knows and loves that show??! Anyway, we had a great time!

Aubrey's First Performance

Mom told us that her choir was getting a youth choir together to sing with them in their performance. Aubrey was really excited and wanted to join the choir. She did a great job learning the songs and wasn't afraid to be in front of everyone. When we were on the side stage, waiting to come on, she told me that she had to go the restroom. I told her that she needed to hold it and wait until she was done singing her two songs. After thinking about it, she said no!! So we ran down to the basement of the theater, did her thing, then ran back just in time for her to enter the stage! Crazy, crazy!! Anyway, she did great, we are so proud of her!!

UH-OH

The other day, I found Lauren playing in the tub. Normally that is fine, but this time she had the water on. I couldn't get upset with her, it was so cute!!

I have no clue how to do this. We'll see how this turns out.

Chad and I took an early anniversary trip to Las Vegas without the kids. Chad and I had the chance to walk up and down the Strip and see all the fun stuff. We walk so much that I got blisters on my feet, but that's a different story.
