too hot for dad

As I was preparing to roast some corn on the cob for dinner this afternoon I almost grabbed the cayenne pepper instead of the season salt. I commented on how that would have been a disaster. Cary (the man who has taste buds of steel and enjoys ghost pepper sprinkled on his food) said that cayenne might actually be tasty on his corn. Joshua overheard us talking and then proceeded to say, "The only thing too hot for Dad is Mom." I love that kid. :)

Martin Family Reunion 2014

The kids and I made a super quick trip to Alabama for a family reunion.  We had a lot of fun and it was good to see family I hadn't seen in 15 or so years.

Girls Camp 2014

I declare Girls Camp this year the BEST EVER!  No kidding.  It was the first year I have ever done a ward girls camp and hands down it was my favorite.  We had so much fun and no drama. The weather was perfect, the scenery, was gorgeous, the activities were so much fun, and the company was fantastic. I even smuggled Kaitlyn in even though she won't be official until next year. I took over 300 pictures so whittling down to these few was hard...

We laughed a lot!

Played games

Posed for lots of pictures

Went horseback riding

Went on lots of hikes

Enjoyed the scenery

Freshened up in the cold stream

Learned how to purify water

Helped with every meal

Studied and pondered

Relaxed

Gathered fire wood

Canoed

Kayaked

Took selfies

Went paddle boating

Learned how to sharpen knives

Learned how to start fires

Made flip flops

Went snipe hunting

Made smores every night

Found a nest of daddy long legs

Acted silly

Tried to be fierce

Ate tin foil dinners

Danced in the dark
