So this past weekend we decided to drive down to southern Alberta and do some camping. We went to a little tiny town called Mountain View, seriously like population 6 1/2 (one girl is pregnant)... jk, it was a really nice little town..... but really really REALLY small. However small it was, it still had a huge ward!!! And then the next tiny town over had IT's own ward.... These mormon settlements are still a foreign thing to me, but Im getting used to it slowly.
ANYWAY ... back to camping. We were at our friend Lindseys parents cattle ranch, I think they said they had about 900 acres so its seriously huge and there is a river that runs through it so we set up our tents down by the river. It was alot of fun camping, you could hear coyotes and also their cattle, their ranch is right by the mountains and it was a spectacular view, so gorgeous!

We took a sunday drive through the National Park that is there, up in the mountains and saw all kinds of deer & other animals just walking around. We also saw this little baby bear cub.. so cute!!! I was standing beside this lake there looking at a diagram of the surrounding mountains and noticed that on the other side of the lake that i was at was Montana!!!! (my brother Peter is serving his mission in montana) i was shocked!!! i didnt realize that we were that far south all weekend! It was so tempting just to hop in the car and drive across the border.

When we were on our way back home from mountain view some ranchers were doing a cattle drive down the middle of the street, it was crazy! We took a video of that and its on face book... so weird.
All the pictures from the trip are on face book too!

So not a whole lot has been going on in the past two weeks, Davis is still busy working, Im still busy taking care of Kailey and Kailey is busy learning how to laugh and discovering the joys of thumb sucking. Lots of little giggles coming out of her but so far we cant capture it on video ... hopefully soon.
For Fathers Day yesterday we went up to Canmore (near banff) and went for a gorgeous walk on a trail by a river. It was pretty much the perfect day and the mountains are amazing.

It was a great way to spend the day together and we cant wait to go back up there and spend some more time.
Ok well this picture has nothing to do with Fathers Day, but its so cute! She really is so much fun to play with all day!

Lap Of Luxury

And the Award for the best husband EVER goes to ........... (drum roll) ..... DAVIS!!!!!!!

Davis took Kailey for the afternoon yesterday and sent me to a day spa! No special occasion or anything, just because he is so great! I was treated to a swedish massage and a chocolate sugar body scrub and hydro therapy massage .... can anyone say " AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH" so nice! It felt amazing actually and I still kinda smell like chocolate. WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW, It felt so good to be pampered and waited on! Anyway thanks babe!!!!


Kailey has just discovered toys ... up until now she hasnt shown any interest in stuff like that but she is starting to reach out and grab for stuff when she is laying down. I got her a couple little toys but I am pretty lost when it comes to baby toys, does anyone have any suggestion on where to go for really great baby toys? Or toys that your babies loved? Her fingers are still her favorite toy but maybe she will find something she likes better soon. Im not sure how I feel about her sucking her thumb.

Speaking of kailey she is asking polietly for some attention so I should go!
