HELLO! I think I ordered the large tent...and other items of business

Rockin' the fourth. Avery is not afraid of fireworks. Salad bar is the best dinner ever. And 17 miles was meant to be run as a loop through Snow Canyon park. Great day.

I don't know if this was his intention, but when Bryson decided to finally upgrade his two-man backpacking tent to a six-man deal, he also may have provided alternative living arrangements should he lose his job one day. Inside this outdoor recreation mansion, we can fit the pack n play, two air mattresses, and all of our camping chairs. Then there's the front porch which doubles the size of it all. By six men, they meant six lumberjacks I'm guessing. This is half of it set up in our front room. Will it fit in our camping spot at Bryce Canyon next weekend...?


These are bows for my niece Becca's big 6 birthday this week. They are heirloom bows because the flowers are from my grandma's craft table...that is, my grandma that recently passed away.

What a great idea to use those flowers that way. They can have a piece of your grandma. Neat!

I cannot wait till the day I can buy a big tent. I want like a tent mansion. No, I want to build a whole city of intertwined tents. I am tired of my little one that no one can stand up in.

Also I love the clips of your Grandma's flowers. That is a perfect way to help her memory live on.

Your flower clips turned out so cute! I'm glad you get to share your talent and your Grandmother's flowers with your nieces.
That tent cracks me up! We are heading to Bryce Canyon soon too! You'll have to gimme all the details of your camp spot.

Those clips turned out so beautifully!!!!!! Oh, I love them! Very good job. What did your neices think?

Also, wow, what a tent. Having just gone camping and put my tent up with the "help" of my can't-get-off-his-tush nephew I can safely say that that tent is too big for me. Puptents from now on. But, hey, if you've got somebody to put it up then by all means...the bigger the better! Remember your neighbors if we all have to flee into the desert. We don't take up much space :)

That is a very impressive tent, but hey any tent that can accomodate a pack and play AND air mattresses is my kind of camping tent. :) Love your hairbows too. What beautiful flowers and a beautiful gift to make something special out of your grandma's things. I love that idea.

Cute clippies and fun tent! We finally just grew out of ours, only half a mattress and portacrib fits! WE definitely don't. Baby four will push it to it's limit, so we are moving onto bigger and better and harder to set up. I"m bummed about that part. Yay on the race and I can't believe baby is 1!!! Time flies!
