This weekend was so busy, but so much fun!! First off, we had our first showing on Wednesday and got an offer Thursday!! We are still negotiating, so we'll just have to wait and see, but I'm way excited!! We went camping on Friday with our good friends Mitch and Katie and their 2 kids. Landon and Andrew are best friends and love doing stuff together. Mitch's family has some land up in Morgan and it is gorgeous and perfect for camping. We only stayed over night because Adam wanted to be back early Saturday morning for the Air Show. Here are some pics of Landon's first experience camping. I thought he might be difficult, but he actually was so good! He loves being outdoors and had a blast!! Thanks again Mitch and Katie for inviting us!!

Our awesome camp fire :)

The area was beautiful! The camp area is almost completely surrounded by trees.

Landon loves pringles. He ate almost that entire package and refused to share with anyone!

The mighty hunters preparing their kill (hobo dinners :) )

Katie and Andrew in their tent.

Luckily Landon didn't try and get in the fire, but he did love rearranging the rocks around the fire. Him and Andrew also had fun gathering sticks to help their daddy's with the fire. Our tent had a little weather flap thing that created a little area outside the actual tent door and the boys kept gathering sticks to make their own fire and put them in the little area outside the tent. Unfortunaltely I forgot to take a pic of their little fire pile :( We're just glad they didn't figure out how to actually start their own fire :)

We took up landon's little motorized 4wheeler and Andrew brought his jeep. Landon let Bella ride his 4wheeler and the boys cruised around in the jeep. Mitch and Katie brought 4wheelers for us adults, but unfortunately they forgot the keys :) We also shot in the field for a little bit. Adam was so proud of me, I shot with my first glock! Mitch and Katie are both Correctional Officers and have guns and therefore shoot on a regular basis. Adam was mad that we forgot to grab the camera to prove that I really did shoot :)
AIR SHOW 2009
For the last week the entire family has been getting text messages around 7 am counting down the days to the air show! Adam loves the thunderbirds and just jets and airplanes in general. He can tell you what every jet is and what kind it is just by listening to it. We go up to his parents every time they have the show because their house overlooks HAFB and you can see the runway from their backyard. A lot of the planes actually fly over the house to circle around and land. I swear sometimes the planes and jets are maybe 500 ft right above the house. His dad is bishop of a singles ward so they invited his ward up to join in on the BBQ and festivities of the day. My camera isn't the greatest so I didn't get any good pics of the jets. But here are some of the fun and games :)

Landon played croquette with daddy and uncle jake.
Adam's parents thought the grandkids might get bored watching the planes for hours, so they thought a water park would entertain them....
They were right!!!
Landon spent the majority of the day in the water. At first he couldn't quite figure out how to climb up the little wall, but after I got in with him and showed him how to grab the handles and put his feet in the holes (he was barely tall enough to reach em, his poor cousin that is a few months younger was just a little too young to be able to do it) he was able to climb up himself to go down the slides. Good idea Grandma and Grandpa!!



My brilliant husband hasn't quite learned his lesson that he needs to put on sunscreen, especially with a shaved head. By mid-afternoon his head was a bright shiny red. So to get out of the sun he covered himself with Landon's towels and then his mom came over to see him and this was the result :)

FUN! Good luck with the house situation!
I so want to play on that slide. Looks like so much fun! That is the kind of camping I like; just one night. I wish we could have gone to the air show. Looks like you did have a fun filled weekend.
Hopefully your negotiations go good! We are still in negotiations too! Wow we could both be homeless. I envy that waterslide! That looks like so much fun!
