First family camp outing

Okay, so this camp was absolutely awesome! We camped at Camp Zion that is on Mt. Lemon in Tucson Arizona. It was over 9,000 ft in the air! This camp is church owned and absolutely amazing! We stayed over Friday night and had a wonderful devotional that night on Priesthood. Bishop did such a great job and I felt the spirit so strongly. Saturday morning we went on a basic mile hike! We had no idea that we were doing a hike so we didn't bring Emmy's Ergo baby carrier with us. So Tyson and I each took a shift of holding her throughout the hike!! She did awesome and slept through at least half the hike. This was out first camping trip of the year and Emmy's first EVER!! She is such a good little baby! She slept normal as she does at home. We did decide that she might have allergies because she was sneezing up a storm! (She gets the allergies from her dad). Hopefully we can get her tested for them and find out soon! Other than that she was awesome and everyone in our ward just loved her to pieces!

This was our huge tent that our ward clerk let us borrow!
It was too big to fit on the platform we chose. Later we saw that there were bigger ones we could have set up on! The platforms were great! Your tent didn't get dirty and less crawly creatures could get us!

Okay so the camp had a basketball court, sand volleyball, kickball and tetherball!!

This is one of the extra buildings with bathrooms and covered sitting area.^^

^^This was the main building where people would sleep inside if they wanted. This is also where we did devotional and they have food serving room inside.

Sand volleyball!! ^^

This is the amphitheater!

Now onto the hiking pictures!

Our bishop is awesome! He went up this crazy huge tree while wearing his sweet Ray-bans!

Someone woke up during the hike a little upset ^^

We loved Camp Zion! Now if only I could go with the girls camp again in a few months! ;)

Brooks' Birth Story

Brooks' pregnancy was by far my hardest. The struggles with sickness, body pain in every way including a hernia, and the mental battles that I faced was almost too much for me. I know without a doubt that the Lord was aware of me and made up for that which I couldn't. The only fun part of this pregnancy was not knowing what we were having! I still cannot even believe that I did this! It was such a challenge and by 30 weeks I was aching to nest and had no clue what to nest for! In the end I absolutely loved finding out at birth and will probably do it again! We ended up moving in June which left me traveling about an hour to my doctor for my appointments. It was 100% worth it and I WILL do it again with my last. He is the best doctor I have ever had and the nursing staff and everyone around was fantastic to say the least! Hospital included. (I'll get to them later!) Once I got about three weeks from my due date I requested for my membranes to be s...

Gma-H and Aunt Mandee came to visit!

YAY for Gma-H and aunt Mandee visit! Emmy loved getting to see these two and have a fun weekend shopping and at the pool! She was all smiles all weekend long! I am so glad they were able to fly out and see our family for a bit. I hardly get to see my little sister because she plays college ball in Wyoming. It's the pits!!! For being a few months since they last saw her, Emmy acted like she knew exactly who they were! I'm sooooooo grateful for such an awesome mother who really helped our family out during this trip and for her unconditional love and support for us! She is the real deal peeps :) Emmy adores her just like I do! Thanks for the GREAT weekend you two! -Love Kam & Tys What an awesome sunset we got to see on our drive home! SHOPPING & FOOD! We had a blast at the mall where Gma-H spoiled us all! We got to ride this elephant around the mall for 12 minutes! Emmy was so content and loving it! ^^^^ Party at the pool! Our ...

HAVASUPAI 2017

Havasupai was as amazing as you've imagined it would be. No expectations fell short on this gorgeous and breathtaking trip. This was the first LONG hike I have ever done! The furthest ever was a couple years ago when we hiked with some friends to seven falls in Tucson and it was only eight miles ROUND-TRIP. (clearly we have a thing for waterfalls) The hike to the Supai Village was around 8 miles and then to get to the falls and campgrounds we hiked a couple more. I believe it's about 10 miles into campgrounds. WHAAAAT?!?! I had never hiked 10 miles anywhere and led alone having to do it in and out. THAT'S 20 people!! Not including all the walks to the bathrooms, rivers, other falls, and the drinking water spot! I don't even want to know how many miles we piled on total because.... WOOF! FACTS ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE: 1. It was not a difficult hike. Just long. I saw plenty of younger kids (not toddler young) at the campgrounds and in passing while h...
