End of Summer Fun!

Before summer ended we decided to take the kids to Gateway to have lunch and play in the water with our little buddies Trevor and Loftin. The kids loved it, even Brynlee!! She walked around there like she was some big stuff!

Trevor was not wanting to get wet. But Hayden sure wanted him to.

Loftin joins in getting Trevor to come get wet with them. Silly Boys! "

Loftin and Hayden

When we first got to Gateway Bryn was checking out the water and this is what she thought! You can tell by the look in her face!


Trying to cover up the water holes. The boys thought it was funny to sit on the holes and then the water would skirt their behinds. BOYS!

Walking around like big stuff!

Water splashing on my head.

Looking to see where the water goes. Lucky for Bryn, she never got squirted in the face!

Gilbert Meadow Camping Adventures!

We spent the July 24th holiday weekend at Gilbert Meadows which is in the high Uintah Mountains. My Grandpa Gary owns some land there and has done for many many. My Grandpa spends most of the summer up there and is usually by himself. He just loves that mountain terrain!

My Grandpa took us on alot of fun four wheeling trails and also took us fishing at Marsh Lake. This was Hayden's very first time fishing! He loved it!!! He was a little bit afraid to touch or hold the fish that we caught but he still thought it was pretty cool. Landen was hilarious about the whole fishing thing. He has such a soft heart that he was completely distraught over the fact that we were going to eat the fish. When my brother was cleaning them up after we caught them Landen was really worried then!

We had a wonderful time being able to spend time with my Grandpa whom we don't get to see all that often and we can't wait until we go back very soon!!

One of the first catches made by Hayden.

Hanging out around the fire on some cool little log chairs Grandpa Gary had made.




My Grandpa took us to some little houses that were built back in the depression. That was real interesting.

Our lovely view while fishing.

Nate carved Hayden's initials on the same tree as my Grandpa's. Of course my Grandpa's name is high up on the tree now sinve it was done many many years ago.

My Grandpa's brand that we seen in many trees.

For some reason my brother could not catch a fish. Nate was doing all the fish catching this trip. Until we were just about to leave. Then he caught this bad boy! He was sure proud!

Grandpa Gary and My Mom. I am so glad that she got to spend some time with her Dad.

Grandpa and the Boys.

Our little fisherman!

Mom and Dad. How cute are they!

On a four wheeling trail over to lake we had to go through this river. It was fun!

My Grandpa took us to a place called Suicide Park on the four wheelers. This was real interesting stuff! Kind of creepy! I hope you are able to read the sign. Along with this sign there were 3 or 4 graves with little headstones and it had a wooden fence around it.

4th of July Magna Style!

We spent the 4th of July Holiday as we normally do. Magna parade at Grandpa Rock and Grandpa Marsha's house and then a BBQ with some yummy food and some great old friends! It rained at the parade this year which is odd. I never remember it raining on the 4th of July. It's always just as hot as can be!! Which it was still hot and with the rain now muggy! But of course we wouldn't miss the parade for anything!

We usually like to end our evening with the fireworks at Magna park but this year we were invited to some friends house for some good Wyoming fireworks. We had a great 4th of July Holiday in our good old fashioned Magna Town!

My Little Zoo Animal

While my cousin Heather was here from Mesquite we also went to the zoo. It had been awhile since we had been to the zoo. I think we actually missed going last year and the times before Hayden was not all the interested in it but this year he loved it! Of course he loves spending time with those Teitjen boys anywhere!!


Thanks for a week full of great times Teitjen Family!




He may not measure up in size but he sure makes up for it with his big personality!


Feeling elephant skin at the touch and feel show. That was sure strange!


Handsome Landeen!

The old famous lion drinking fountain. "Don't put your mouth on it Hayden!" YIKES!!! I have a major germ thing going one. My family just laughs at me!

My Gatorade blue mustache kid! Yes, I let him walk around the entire zoo with this blue face.
