Valley of Fire

We headed out to Valley of Fire and it was the perfect adventure. Lots of space to run around and fresh air. The outdoors are my happy place. Here are way too many pictures. 

Lunch time.

He finally fell asleep. Poor Baby.

 I climbed to the top to see into the crevasse. 

 

Valley of Fire was wonderful and I can't wait to go back!

Sunday Hike

I do not have a testimony of Stake conference. I believe it's important but driving an hour to our stake center one way then sitting for two hours on hard chairs that move and make noise every time a toy car hits them then driving an hour home just doesn't sound fun to me. But while we were in Vegas Mom and Dad Tobler had stake conference, we could walk to the stake center (we didn't) and I had extra helping hands which was awesome. I don't think Mom and Dad heard much of anything that was said but I got to listen. It was quite nice. 

After conference and some naps we headed up the mountain to explore a bit. It always amazes me how it can be 103F in the Valley and 73F on the mountain. Mom and I were a bit sad we didn't bring a hoodie. Now here are way too many pictures of our adventure!

 There was a fun little ledge that I climbed up to. Then I went with Duke (that picture was blurry :( ).

And then with E.

Then the kids legs got tired. I love these pictures!! Those smiles *swoon*

It was a fun adventure and the kids did really well. Excited to explore a bit more once they are a bit bigger!

Memorial Day

 Memorial Day was so much fun! It was filled with lot of "Mom & Me" activities. It feels so nice to get back into the swing of things! I have dearly missed our visits/ activities that used to take place four days a week. We started out the day with the hunt at Savers. Most everything was 50% off so we went in search of a base dress for Princess Belle. We had no such luck however we did get a few pair of shoes and a lot of children's books. (I'll admit I have a slight addiction to books as of late.)

We then headed up Mount Charleston to hike. I haven't been hiking in over a year! It was so nice to dust off my hiking shoes and smell the fresh mountain air! It was also Ethnie's first adventure in the wilderness.

She did such a good job! She fell asleep on the way up the hill. Mom graciously offered to switch out and carry her. Yes I realize it is sad that 37 ;) year old Mom Tobler is in better shape than me at 22 years old. Seriously! I had better start getting my but in gear! 

 Grandma and Peanut! Best of friends. 

 We got quiet a ways up and then decided that rock scrambling with a baby probably wasn't the safest idea. So we stopped for a quick snack and headed back down the hill.

 What a cuddle bug.

 At the "top" by the "Big Rock." Just us girls! Ahhh, this is the good life!

 On the way down Ethnie was just chattering away, telling us about all of the neat things she saw, well that's what we'd like to think anyways. She definitely earned her hiking shoes. I see many more adventures in her future!

 We were then treated to Pin Kaow for Jakob's graduation dinner. It was absolutely delicious! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. May I draw your attention to the pile of plates Jakob was finishing off. Not one morsel was left behind! 

We finished the evening off with dessert at Yougurtland. Yummy. Peanut was really interested in what was in Daddy's cup. She settled for a spoon in each hand instead. It was a wonderful memorial day! Thank you so much to Mom and Dad for such a special evening!
