A Weekend Getaway

Last weekend Morgan, Noel, Sam and I went up to the Watkins Family Cabin in Provo Canyon. Morgan had just finished the Winter Semester at BYU and started up with the Spring Term this last Tuesday. 

We got up to the cabin last fridayevening and stayed through Saturday evening. My sister Leslie and her husband Jason and their kids were in town for the Salt Lake City Marathon that Jason ran in. They met us up at the cabin on Saturday afternoon and soon after they arrived my brother Chris and his wife Kareena and their baby Ty came up with some pizzas. We popped those pizzas right in the oven ate pizza, chips and salsa and salad. Most everyone went fishing after dinner and then we cleaned up the cabin and left. I don't have any pictures of all of us at the cabin. I wasn't thinking!!! I just have the ones from earlier on in the day. Sorry mom and dad!

On Friday night we roasted mallows, made s'mores, read books, visited and put the kids down. Morgan and I stayed up and watched a Redbox movie and ate chocolate and chips and salsa. Noel was so excited to be up at the cabin.

Saturday morning. Our lil' cutie.
I took some pictures around the cabin for those in the family who don't get to visit the cabin much. It had been a couple years since I had been up there. There were a lot of new decorations and such.


Around noon on Saturday we took a walk. It was perfect weather.






This is Ol' Man Stewarts cabin. As kids we were told so many stories about this little cabin and I don't know if any are true;) We used to walk to it every time we were visiting the Watkins Family Cabin but now there is a No Trespassing sign and a chain up around it.
Blue Jay.


My wonderful hubby and our lil' chubalub, Samuel.
This is the only picture I have with anyone that visited. This is a picture of Sunday morning at our place. The kids were watching Prince of Egypt while Les and Jas were packing up their things and the rest of us getting ready for church.
The other day Morgan took Noel outside to make some big bubbles.
I forgot to mention, Sam is teething! He got both of his bottom teeth in recently. We noticed him first teething on March 31st. Since then he has both of his bottom front teeth in and now he has big gaping holes in his upper gums. We are expecting his upper two front teeth any day. Sam will be 11 months old on May 7th! I can't believe he'll be 1 soon. His corrected age is almost 8 months old. He's rolling all over the place but not quite sitting but he is definitely progressing and getting stronger. He is now eating baby cereal once a day with added squash. He is doing so well.
Our big/little miracle baby.
