RV adventures project

I've been wanting to create a scrapbook of all the RV trips we took last year. We had so much fun and I knew if I didn't document it soon, I would forget the places and the fun things we did. I loved each of those trips and I hope our kids remember them.

I made a 4x6 journaling card in Photoshop for each trip we took. I printed the cards and pictures out at Costco and put them into this photo album I found at Target.

Here's a list of the digital stuff I used for the journaling cards. Designer Digitals is having their quarterly sale right now, everything is 30% off:

Ali Edwards Travel Memory Title+Journal overlays

Ali Edwards Days and Months brushes

the numbers are from one of my fave fonts Jailbird Jenna

(the papers and year brush are from designers who are no longer around)

our last RV adventure

For our last RV adventure, we traveled down to Tombstone and Bisbee AZ this past weekend. Our friends Jeff and Adrienne own the RV and asked us last year if we wanted to share it with them for a year. We have had so much fun on our travels and have made some great memories with our kids. How will I ever go back to camping in a tent?! I've been spoiled! We traveled down to Tombstone in January, we had so much fun we decided to go there again. (and we wanted to stay south where it's warm)

the fam


When we came in January, we saw a show about the famous OK Corral shootout. This guy plays Doc Holliday. He was by far the best actor in the show and he was in full character when Braden asked for his picture. We saw him on "The Colbert Report" a few months ago, you can check it out here, it's pretty funny

downtown Bisbee. They had this great antique store there. We found a "Pigs in Space" lunch box like the one Aaron had as a kid.

Mission Beach, CA and BYU football game

I'm a little behind here...story of my life!
Last month, we took the RV down to San Diego for the BYU/San Diego State football game. On Friday, we spent the day at Mission Beach. The weather was absolutely perfect! Aaron bought some boogie boards for the kids and they had a blast. It was a fun day hanging out as a family. (I'm cherishing every moment of this stuff because these kids are growing up way too fast)

We went to Qualcomm Stadium on Saturday and did some tailgating before the game. When we went to find our seats, we were pleasantly surprised how close we were to the field.

my poor children...Aaron's turned them to the dark side (the Yankees)
No one tell my Grandma :)

some of the players came by after the game to say Hi to the fans. This is Harvey Unga.

OK now it's time for a helpful tip for all you parents out there that have little ones.

Nacho cheese is a good thing when you want your child to be good during a football game.

Hes will now demonstrate:

have a rad summer! stay cool!

B&P with their teachers- they both had really great teachers this year.

Braden received the Presidential

Physical Fitness Award this year. Good job B!

B finished up the spring basketball season. He loved it and had an awesome season. He's improved so much over the last year...I got all teary-eyed watching him play on Saturday, he tore it up!

Braden's 4th grade class on the last day of school. These kids were so wired and bouncing off the walls. When the bell rang, they started screaming and jumping around. I don't blame them, we were all like that on the last day, right? Heston isn't too sure about all this...

Hes doesn't know what to do with all this attention from the ladies...he likes to play hard to get.

We left on Thursday after school for a camping trip. We headed north just past Payson. The weather was nice and cool but it rained the whole time. We did manage to get in a little hike but we decided to come home early.
Paige lost one of her front teeth yesterday!

Summer is officially here!

Usery Mountain

We had a great time with Mom and Dad during their visit. We went up to Usery Mountain (north Mesa) on Saturday for an overnight campout. It was really fun and we had a great time going on hikes and just hanging out. Food just tastes better when you're camping!

Our weekend trip to Tombstone, AZ

Last weekend, we took a trip to Tombstone, AZ. Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday and the shootout at the OK Corral all happened here. It was fun to just look around and take pictures. I was blown away by the craftsmanship inside some of these buildings, you just don't see that everyday.
After we left Tombstone, Aaron took B&P (I stayed behind with H) to the Kartchner Caverns that are about 30 miles away. They all said how cool it was, we'll have to go back when Heston gets bigger. It was nice to get away and just spend some time together as a family. Before we know it, our kids will be teenagers and they'll want nothing to do with us! :)
