West Desert Camping Trip!

Easter weekend was our annual camping trip with the Aagard family. We seriously had a blast, even though we spent most of the camping trip in the sheep camp.
It was a little too cold for Kenzington outside, so she got the spoiled treatment, and I benefited as well, by being able to sleep inside the sheep camp. Brandon and Brooklyn roughed it outside in the tent.

Brooklyn didn't seem to mind the bad weather. She was constantly finding something to entertain herself.

Whether it be trying to catch bugs and horny-toads, (She kept trying to kiss it! Gross!)

or just playing in the dirt. (Which we couldn't keep her out of!)

This girl knows how to make a good time out of any situation. (A lesson that I still need to learn sometimes.)

After getting all dirty we couldn't go to bed that way, so we had bathtime.

Kenz didn't want to miss out on any of the action either.

Seriously though, have you ever seen a baby with this many rolls at two months?!?! She is such a cute little chunk!

I was pretty sure the Easter Bunny wouldn't come because of how many rabbits Brandon and Coby had shot, but somehow he found us anyway.

Brooklyn loved all the candy and egg hunts. She would follow anyone around until they would open some more candy for her. (She's a girl after my own heart.)

The weather wasn't the only misery we encountered on this trip. Every vehicle but ours had some sort of mishap. Two flat tires and a broken truck later we finally made it home.

Despite all of the problems along the way, it is always fun spending time with family to make memories while you have the time. My dad's cancer that was removed from his brain FIVE WEEKS AGO showed up AGAIN on his most recent MRI!! They believe it is a cyst, but they will have to operate and remove it again just to be sure. He just can't seem to catch a break. So the pancreatic cancer is on hold for now until they get things with the brain in order. We love our dad and grandpa, so hopefully they can just beat this stupid cancer. Until it is beat we are trying to take that lesson from little Brooklyn and turn a bad situation around as much as we can. LOVE YOU DAD!!

  1. Your camping trip looks like so much fun, I love to camp with you guys, we need to plan something for this year! And, I love the tiny tub baths. At my family camps all the kids line up and take turns (29 grandkids mind you...) Love it! I am so sorry to hear about your dad, I hope he can beat it as well. Stay strong!
