Tenna, Dana, and Friend Visit!

It was wonderful to see Tenna, Dana, and their friend come up to Utah for the Provo Canyon 1/2 Marathon. We invited them over for a barbeque and Kelsie and Johny came as well. We enjoyed yummy food and family fun as we talked and laughed late into the night. I love when family comes in from out of town and we get to spend time with them.

100 Plus Degrees - Oh what do you do in the Summer Time?

The Kellersberger Family goes swimming. As the temperature reaches 102 degrees we decided as a family to head to the Lehi pool to cool off. Adaline and daddy were having a great time in the kiddy pool area that is just deep enough for some cool down but Adaline is still able to walk.

 

 It was fun to see Adaline enjoying the water and mommy and daddy enjoyed the cool water that helped us to get cooler.

Daddy splashed Adaline in the face and she giggled as the water ran down her face.

We swam for about an hour and then we were cool for the rest of the evening. I think the Kellersbergers are going to make family pool time a habit as this is the warmest summer in 75 years!

Adaline's New Car Chair

Adaline was so happy to get her new car chair, she gets to face forward and see everything that mommy and daddy see. Here she is in her first ride in her new car chair and you can see how happy she is.

Father's Day 2013

We celebrated Father's day for daddy, we made him a yummy breakfast of waffles and then got ready for church. Mommy made daddy a beautiful boutonniere to wear to church.

Adaline and mommy got daddy a new grill for his Father's Day gift. Daddy picked it out but it was from Adaline and mommy.

"Happy Father's Day, Daddy. I love you so much!"

The Jumpers Are Leaving.... Oh No!

 Our friends the Jumpers are moving to Minnesota for a wonderful job opportunity but we are going to miss them terribly, so we held a going away barbeque and invites some friends, The Crapo and Fillbrook families, to send them off in style.

Dinner was great and we had a wonderful time chatting and enjoying ourselves one last time with the Jumper family. The Hardman family were able to join us later and so we had to get one more picture for blog.

Adaline trying to cook!

One night while I was making dinner at the stove, I had pulled Adaline over the wall into the kitchen so she could be near me while I finished dinner. Adaline was able to find a couple of pots that we had brought into the house from camping to clean them up and she got the top of the celery stock that I had previously cut to put into our dinner. She then proceed to set up her pots, for cooking, and then she took her ingredients and separated them into the individual pots. I had to capture a picture of this little show of domesticity.

"Well mom, I'm trying to get dinner ready!"

 

 "I need to find more things for my stews."

So then she got into the cupboards looking for more things to put into her pans. It was really fun as a mom to watch this desire to engage in activities that she see me do and she wants to duplicate it. Our little ones really do watch us and learn and that is why we must bear testimony of Jesus Christ and His gospel through not just our words but our actions also. I hope Adaline will learn many wonderful things from watching me and I hope that I do what I need to a mother to teach her properly.

Memorial Day Holiday Weekend 2013

 Memorial Day weekend 2013 was a fun filled camping adventure for the Kellersberger family. Grandma and Grandpa Kellersberger along with Randy and Haley followed us up to our camp site to spend the evening with us before heading back to town. Cory and I found this great camping spot two years ago on our first Memorial Day weekend together, it is located up Spanish Fork Canyon. There is a beautiful little valley that stretches between to large hills and the grass grows green and there is a small river that runs through the whole valley. There were a ton of people here this year and it took a little rough roading it to get to a good spot to camp. But Cory, Grandpa, and Randy got the tent set up and the fire started while I cooked up our dinner of hamburgers. Then we just spent some time around the fire enjoying the heat because it was a little chilly for all of us.

Adaline had a great time with Haley and was happy she came up for the evening to play with her.

Randy was great in helping get the camp set up and it was great to spend time together around the campfire sharing stories and creating new memories.

Here is Daddy, Little Girl, Randy, and Haley enjoying the camp fire together.

 

 The next morning as it got warmer and warmer, Daddy took little girl over to one of the streams and tried to get her to play in the water, but the water was mountain cold.

So Adaline put her feet in and then immediately

 

 Pulled her feet out! So that was the only time we played in the water.

 Daddy and little girl enjoying nature. We went for a little walk around the meadow and enjoy the different landscape Heavenly Father had provided us.

We kept Adaline covered most of the time to protect her skin and then we covered her in sun tan lotion.

Daddy was great to help take care of little girl...here he is changing a messy diaper.

 

 There was this huge log a little ways from camp and when the camp site was in the full sun we headed over to the log that was situated in a nice bit of shade. Daddy and little girl laid out of the log.

Mommy could not resist getting a picture of the two peas in a pod together.

 

 Here is mommy...pushing that pregnant belly out for the photo op! We ate yummy pancakes, sausage, eggs, and hot chocolate each morning and there is something about the woods that makes the food taste that much better.

 Adaline made her way around camp as well as she could but many times she would take tumble on the rocks and would that caused the ground to be uneven.

Adaline would not take a nap in the tent unless mommy and daddy joined her. Here she is playing peek-a-boo from the tent when she was suppose to be taking a nap.

Daddy and little girl the last night. We had yummy steaks for dinner and roasted marsh mellows for desert. We packed up the camp the next morning and headed back to town for church, but it was a wonderful weekend spent camping as a family.
