father & son's campout

Whomever decided that Mother's Day weekend is the best weekend for a Father & Son's campout deserves an award! I am sure that not all Moms feel that way...

what if they only have 1 boys and 3 girls, for example.

Well, this mom LOVES it!

Why you ask...because I have 3 boys and 1 girl!!!

Ella and I enjoyed a fun evening of shopping and chinese takeout. I wanted to find a cute "mother's day outfit" and I think I succeeded. I know that Chinese food is in direct conflict to my "eating healthy" program...but one day this week to "splurge" is okay...RIGHT?

Back to the boys...

Matt took them to the mountains outside Laramie...2.5 hours away. No one else from the ward went (as far as we know) because the weather forcast was crummy. But the Haley boys would not have it any other way. I wanted to get a picture of them next to the truck all goofy grinned and ready to camp...but alas...I couldn't. There was a HUGE thunderstorm underway. And...they still went.

Matt said it was cold, but they still had fun. They heard coyotes howling in the night and the wind was strong...but they did sleep. They woke up to snow...but they were still having fun!

Brayden was "daddy's buddy" and helped with everything. You can see from the picture that he isn't afraid to get dirty. Drew was off climbing trees...Matt said he was about 15 feet up! Morley was having fun just hanging out and climbing all the big rocks.

I love that Matt enjoys doing these kind of things with the boys and I love even more that the boys love to go!
