Camping & Huckleberry Picking!

We love to go camping as a family! And this last weekend we were able to go for about the 5th or 6th time this summer. Fall is our favorite though, so we are still looking forward to a few more camping trips! This camping trip was up past Kelly Canyon, somewhere we seem to go a lot. The HUCKLEBERRIES were still on, so we got to pick some of those too. I had no idea that there were so many berry bushes up there. We just walked a few yards from our camper and were able to pick right there! Macie loved to eat them, and even picked them herself once Daddy showed her how to find them. So the whole time we picked, Macie picked....and ate:)

This year we are sharing a garden with Jed and Jeannette(Reed's brother & his wife), and it is doing WAY better than last year! So far we have been able to get beets, peas, some tiny carrots from thinning them out, zucchini, yellow squash, a couple tomatoes, potatoes! I took a picture of some of the food I picked because the garden is a little out of control:) And soon to come......lots of tomatoes, potatoes, spaghetti squash(I think), pumpkins, more zucchini, and more yellow squash. Did I forget anything Jeannette? Sadly to say, my carrots are gone. Some kind of animal came and ate all the tops off one day:( Some day I hope to grow a garden as good as my parents! Their garden produces TONS of food, way more than they can use by themselves, so they always share. Thank you Mom and Dad for the yummy veggies!

5 Years!!

Today is Reed's and my 5th anniversary, I cannot believe it's been five years already! I am so lucky to have such a great husband, so I just wanted to brag on him for a second.....Reed is such a hard worker and a great provider for our little family. He's also really SMART! I am always asking him a million questions, and he always seems to know the answer! Our personalities are almost opposite....he's brought me out of my shell a lot. He has such a friendly and outgoing personality, and that's how I want to be. He eats all of my dinners and tells me, "Thank you for dinner, it was good." Even when they're not. He honors his Priesthood and leads our family in the right direction. He loves me and Macie, and always shows it, so we never have to wonder. I am SO thankful for such a good husband, I got SO LUCKY! I love you babe.......Happy 5th Anniversary!
