Wastlund Family

These are some of my favorites! The family picture is at the top of the the blog and the kids individuals on the side bar. Overall, I think they turned out great. With kids I suppose they are never perfect, but what great memories!

To the wonderful men in my life! I love you dad, dad-in-law, my Sweetheart, wonderful brothers and grandfathers. You make my life so happy, and I am so thankful to have men such as you as my example. Happy Father's Day! Love, Amber

A turtle is crossing the road when he's mugged by two snails. When the police show up, they ask him what happened. The shaken turtle replies "I don't know. It all happened so fast." As many of you know Kody has been obsessed lately with getting a lizard as a pet. I am not fond of the idea of paying for something that you have to feed bugs and pinkie mice. So, while on my run this morning I found a perfect solution to the problem... I almost stepped on about 10 snails! I ran by thinking "Kody would love to see this." After I got home and showered I told the boys I had a surprise. They got dressed (you can tell they are still sleepy), I grabbed a box, and we headed out the door. They had a ball choosing which snails to keep (I had to limit them to 6) and filling the box with rocks, dirt, flowers and grass. We even researched snails on the internet, and the best part is they eat plants and raw foods. I even bought them a mushroom when I did my grocery s

After our first failed attempt, we finally got our camping trip. Grandma Wastlund and Kimball went up a day early and reserved a spot for us in Red Cliffs. Grandpa and Grandma Woodstock and Daniel even stopped by for some dutch oven dinner on their way to my house to visit for the weekend. I made a good trade, we kept Daniel and my mom took Grace to our house for the night. It was a good thing because Kimball woke up with a migraine and threw up, Kody peed the Sleeping bag and we still had four trips to the bathroom. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep. But I can say... we did it! You know you are camping when at 9:00 at night you are still eating smores and hot dogs. What good 's a fire if you don't use it :) The highlight was our hike to the waterfall (even though it was all dried up) and trying to catch crawdads in the river. Thanks for the fun weekend!
