Campfire season is here.  This is one of our favorite past times.  We like to sit by the fire and watch the sunset.  The kids also like to roast hot dogs and marshmallows.  I always end up with smokey laundry to wash. Teagan gets super excited about campfires.

McCabe is into a rock finding phase.  He tries to find ones with crystals or fossils.  He likes to search the mountain with Caden to find his rock treasures.  Just the other day he was so into finding rocks that he missed dinner.  We tried calling and searching for him but we did not find him.  Finally he came home thirty minutes late.

Yesterday was a cake baking day for the kids.  McCabe and Jacinda both wanted to make cakes and so they did.  The kitchen barely stayed cleaned.  Thank goodness Tim was keeping up with dish duty.

The weather has turned nice and so we are doing lots of chalk drawings on the driveway.  Xadia and I made pictures of bunny rabbits and Easter eggs.  Teagan was busy drawing super long lines that went from the driveway to the sidewalk.   

Yesterday we got to attend the Provo temple dedication.  Only kids 8 and older could witness the dedication.  Many thanks to the McPheters for watching Teagan and Xadia.  It was a beautiful dedication.  I am very grateful for temples.

            These are our friends that we invited to the campfire because campfires are always better with friends.  By the way, I do not know why McCabe is posing that way.  It must be a 9 year old thing.
