They took us up to a cabin in Ashton, ID where we played games, had a bbq, played in the river, went to the Playmill Theatre and saw the hilarious 'Dirty, Rotten Scoundrels', watched the women's World Cup and just enjoyed each other's company. I was sure I took more pictures than this, but can't find them. :(</div>

However, Warm Springs was not warm at all. When we first got in, Alayna jumped immediately out and said she didn't want to go. I finally convinced her and we had a great time once our legs became numb.

Yep, we lost Tyla on the way down. The kids wanted to go under the bridge so we hooked all the tubes together with bungee cords. As we came to the bridge, I tried to direct the tube train to the right, but I didn't realize they were already drifting to the left. We wrapped around a pylon and were stuck. Mason and Alayna started crying, Tyla bailed out, and I tried desperately to pull us out and around. Finally, I gave up and unhooked the tubes. Tyla swam to the banks and then ran down to Dad so he wouldn't freak out when we got to the bottom without a rider.

It is a beautiful place nestled in the mountains. This year, we learned it was world famous as we spoke with a couple from England who came over just to climb the rocks. I love watching the rock climbers dotting the large rocks. The kids have a blast running all over the rocks creating homes and hiding in caves. And I was glad not to be pregnant this year!</div>

<br />The famous Bath Rock where a large crater in the rock fills with water. Legend has it that the cowboys who passed through the area would stop and take a bath in the water. It looked pretty dirty to me, though. Bath Rock is a huge rock that is fun to climb with a few tricky parts, but the girls went right up with no problems at all.

He's so strong, it's fun to see his muscles flexing as he climbs.

The kid one was way to easy for her so she had to tackle the bigger climbs.

He did pretty well climbing up but had a hard time coming back down. It's hard the first time you have to sit so far back for a rappell. I climbed up and helped him. Then he wanted to try all the grown-up climbs, too. He would climb two or three times, then say, "I'm done."

Always a fun tradition and they taste better cooked over a campfire. Well, Travis doesn't think so, but I do.

My parents chose an incredible spot to raise the family and the many memories I have there are priceless. We had a one-acre mini-farm where we raised horses, cows, chickens, pigs, dogs, cats, pigeons, and rabbits. We spent hours and hours outdoors climbing the mountain behind our house, building large forts, pretending to ride through the world on the rooftops and jumping on the trampoline. I am grateful I get a chance to bring my children there to experience a piece of my childhood. I think they love it even more than I did!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2vW9FGTFoxE-H9lI-oVg9atYMqkb_vX_D5vUUwLyVQPistdaix_wskOkgaUG-9TxmNAIz5E5fv5n0zBoUPL_X1w6XKPi4KgLARyZ5RHzefFNB0g1cepozzDC_7vV5gzGk3Da0xqF4_ZpE/s1600/072.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615239338388019410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2vW9FGTFoxE-H9lI-oVg9atYMqkb_vX_D5vUUwLyVQPistdaix_wskOkgaUG-9TxmNAIz5E5fv5n0zBoUPL_X1w6XKPi4KgLARyZ5RHzefFNB0g1cepozzDC_7vV5gzGk3Da0xqF4_ZpE/s400/072.JPG" /></a> My sweet parents hanging out on the front porch.

We spent many hours as kids playing in this ditch. The water was always dark brown (yes, there were many cowpies deposited in the ditch) but we didn't care. We had fun floating the ditch in our floatie tubes, building rock dams (which we got in trouble for and had to pull out), and cooling off on hot days. I'm pretty sure we lost a few shoes down the ditch, too.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_iXNdy7zwHzJkMofpOuecaLXA66IwMRNWOGrkmMjZhd5k4xnHJ_VYX-xmQrjxhOcUH_Hn_93tK7GOXyIbsJmCBZ1H8VgAzKbYmTnIKULXyRaw2YyEmPyLtvk9vZpbeKAr3B3MKjBtdSra/s1600/033.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615239307642840498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_iXNdy7zwHzJkMofpOuecaLXA66IwMRNWOGrkmMjZhd5k4xnHJ_VYX-xmQrjxhOcUH_Hn_93tK7GOXyIbsJmCBZ1H8VgAzKbYmTnIKULXyRaw2YyEmPyLtvk9vZpbeKAr3B3MKjBtdSra/s400/033.JPG" /></a><br />Here's Tiana climbing the fences to take a look at the horses.

Here's an update on what has been happening recently: Travis received a job offer we couldn't refuse from CHG Healthcare. The way the job came about was pretty amazing. We decided we should do Real Estate on the side and started job searching. We had always been blessed to find employment through friends and family previously, but we had to start from scratch this time. Initially, we had no idea which companies would be good, so I Googled it! I looked through Forbe's list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For and there was only one company located in Utah, CHG Healthcare at #27. I clicked on their link, clicked on Careers and saw they had posted a job for a Business Analyst the previous day that fit Travis's qualifications exactly. We applied online and received a phone call the next day to set up a phone interview. Travis had two phone interviews and two in-person interviews before he was offered the job - all within a two-week timeframe. He did a fantastic job in the interviews and they were very impressed with his skills and personality (who wouldn't be?). Then he started the following Monday. The more we learn about this company the happier we are with the job. They are very employee-oriented with a lot of fun things going on in addition to being cutting edge with technology and open to change. The only downside is the long commute - one hour each way. Hence, the next question......To move, or not to move? Spring is attempting to blossom around here. I say attempting because it will be warm one day with the flower bulbs peeking their heads out of the soil and the next day it snows! We started soccer practices and games this last week. The first practice was on Friday where it snowed most of the day but melted just before practice. Then the girls had their games on Saturday morning. Tyla's game was quite chilly and all the girls were pretty lethargic from their winter break. Alayan and Tiana had a fun game and played like 'super-fast dolphins'. Their team is the Blue Dolphins. I love their age group because it's all about having fun and cheering (even when they score in the wrong goal) and laughing. We have a great time. I'm a little taxed, though with being the coach of three different soccer teams. I coach Tiana and Alayna's AYSO team, Tyla's AYSO team, and Tyla's All-Star team. That makes for a lot of soccer. Good thing I love soccer! Mason will start in the fall so we'll see how that goes.... Alayna and Tiana were so excited this week when I announced that they are now old enough to have their own library cards. I purchased small totes for them to use for library books and they had a fantastic time picking out their books and checking them out with their brand-new library cards. They're getting to be good little readers and are also enjoying listening to chapter books on CD like 'The Magic Tree House' and 'Geronimo Stilton'. We spend a lot of time in the van driving back and forth from school and I've discovered this is the secret to quiet van rides! Ragen just cut her second tooth, is a great sitter, and loves her family! I'm always so grateful when al the kids are home because I don't have to entertain her all the time or keep Mason from bugging her. The older girls just love to carry her around and play with her. And she sure loves the attention! As soon as she learned to sit she decided she didn't need to move anymore. So she sits on the counter while I cook, sits on the floor while I do hair, and sits in her booster seat at the table. We're working on reating real food and she is 50/50 about it. Some days she'll scarf it down and others she doesn't want anything to do with it. The only foods she good about eating are rice and oatmeal cereal. She doesn't know what to do with fruits and veggies yet. We love to make her laugh and smile and her favorite thing in the world right now (besides nursing with Mom) is taking a bath. She gets so excited and splashes like crazy!Camillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436717138679709651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719798364483155884.post-63154800518059532002011-02-27T13:49:00.004-07:002011-02-27T13:56:39.537-07:00Birthday Girls!Aack!! I can't believe my girls are now 6!! The time goes by way too fast. Every year they break my heart a little more. I love these girls so much! It's so fun when it is birthday time for them. We get to have two cakes, two dinners, and a big party!

They had so much fun!</div><div> </div><div align="left"> Halloween is always really fun, but also really tiring! We went to the ward trunk-or-treat the week before Halloween and the kids scored with the treats! Of course, Mason had his all eaten by the end of next week! That kid can sure go through the treats. He just shovels them in! For the regular trick-or-treating we went up to Teryl's house in Perry and went out with the cousins. That was a blast! Then we had dinner-in-a-pumpkin at Teryl's house afterward.</div><div align="left"> I don't know about you, but Halloween always makes my stomach turn. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy eating a treat here and there, but just seeing the mountain of candy the kids bring home makes me too ill to even taste one. Tyla was so cute with her candy. She decided to chart it. She grabbed a pencil and paper and proceeded to document all of her treats and her total. She is my child that is not into treats as much. She only ate one after the trunk-or-treat and has since only eaten one or two per day. Of course, that poses a problem for Mason who ate all of his and is now sad that he doesn't have any candy and Tyla does! Silly boy! :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div><br /></div>Camillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436717138679709651noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719798364483155884.post-39916076638709716022010-10-07T09:25:00.002-06:002010-10-07T09:39:33.804-06:00Precious Smiles!.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkrFwv2PR61NbZicX3oR5GMj9h-yw_s1-Usbn-SVBk1mt_qwqeMrsz5nhRob8AVv73l60vsaWuKxTskjODqqvTG4qoPiKCr4BV_vtIj6Lp-pFuCWUpxdGOVy_o9hujOjgTFUDmcMZ0D-A9/s1600/10-7-10+011.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525328382433900898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkrFwv2PR61NbZicX3oR5GMj9h-yw_s1-Usbn-SVBk1mt_qwqeMrsz5nhRob8AVv73l60vsaWuKxTskjODqqvTG4qoPiKCr4BV_vtIj6Lp-pFuCWUpxdGOVy_o9hujOjgTFUDmcMZ0D-A9/s400/10-7-10+011.JPG" /></a>Oh, I love it when they get big enough to start smiling!

Ragen has definitely decided to be her own girl and not follow in her siblings' footsteps. All my kids lost some weight at their two-week check-up, but not Ragen! She has gained weight and is now 8 lbs. 11 oz. That puts her in the 50% for height and weight! The rest of the kids are below the 5% for all of those! Maybe she'll be the tallest one in the family. Ok, it's probably too early to tell and she will most likely be a shrimp like everyone else. But we're excited for now!<br /><br />A few things about Ragen:<br />- She hates riding in the car in her carseat! She screamed the whole way to and from the dr. office which was a 30 min. drive both ways. We've gotta get her to snap out of it, though because we're driving the girls to school three times a day.<br />- She's being a stinker about taking a pacifier.<br />- She does not like baths and we have to do them double-time.<br />- She's gotten better about having her diaper changed and doesn't cry the whole time.<br />- She hates being naked, unless she's snuggled up next to Mom!<br />- I swear she has smiled at me real smiles a few times. So precious!!<br />- She's been sleeping in a laundry basket. It's a good thing because the laundry basket is light enough for me to carry to the different rooms I am in.<br />- She hasn't lost her hair yet and it is so cute!<br />- Her favorite snuggle position is chest-to-chest with her legs tucked up underneath her. That just happens to be my favorite snuggle position with her, too!<br />- For the most part, she is a very calm baby who likes to be held and look around at her surroundings.<br /><br />We definitely love her and feel so blessed to have another family member!Camillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436717138679709651noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719798364483155884.post-34886478366377479132010-09-05T17:18:00.004-06:002010-09-05T17:32:29.614-06:00Introducing.....Ragen Bree JeffsWe are so excited to welcome Ragen Bree Jeffs to our family!

We've been homeschooling our children for three years now and it is with very mixed emotions that we came to the decision to put them in school. Although homeschooling can be tough at times, I look back on it with fond memories. We've done a lot of great things together and it has really brought our kids closer. They are truly each others' best friends and love to play together. What a blessing! We'll see how school goes. I have to admit, I'm not 100% into the school thing. Our lives suddenly seem extremely structured and I miss the flexibility of homeschool. I also feel like the kids are gone so much, they don't have much down time. Therefore, we will not be doing many extracurricular activities. The girls are all involved in soccer right now and that's going to be the extent. Tyla has started to complain that she doesn't have much time to read, and she's right!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Our family is going through a lot of change right now. We always seem to do major changes in a big way, ie move to Indiana and change jobs while seven months pregnant with twins. This time it's change careers (from working in the corporate world to self-employment), have a fifth child, and change schools for the kids. Good thing we're not moving this time! Travis and I are now full-time Realtors and working hard to get our business going. We have a business website: <a href="http://www.northernutahhomefinder.com/">http://www.northernutahhomefinder.com/</a> that is still a work in progress, but it's getting there. Travis is great with computer things and building systems to make the work easier and more efficient. It's been fun to work together and I look forward to spending more time with him. So if anyone needs help with Real Estate, we'd love to help you!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZnHOjHfmDsI6q3iwwZSUi7w7cBAuDdRj5b7HlUiXLFO-MLWnO0uqEFRna3VKRKK80cOPJ5g-SrlfdKwd0CPzMe1v6qPOqVH2V32Z9imamIXONJn5Xgg9Mt6xHWCppBnZnSU3IYGQvsQNL/s1600/First+Day+of+School+2010.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513569057219162130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZnHOjHfmDsI6q3iwwZSUi7w7cBAuDdRj5b7HlUiXLFO-MLWnO0uqEFRna3VKRKK80cOPJ5g-SrlfdKwd0CPzMe1v6qPOqVH2V32Z9imamIXONJn5Xgg9Mt6xHWCppBnZnSU3IYGQvsQNL/s320/First+Day+of+School+2010.JPG" border="0" /></a> These two are best friends and I am so grateful!

We've tried purchasing kites for the kids, but they just seem to break so easily. Tyla has solved all of our kite problems, though. We had a super-windy Sunday and my creative girl came up with the idea to fly plastic grocery bags. So we tied string around the handles, tied the ends to some garden tools, and "wah-lah" - a kite! The kids had so much fun running around the yard and up and down the sidewalk with their make-shift kites! Travis and I enjoyed sitting on chairs in the garage watching them.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifSxdrOMUihP_KFpI-AUpF78K-jiejR0QO7DXvHcA5OPJsgSwpD2vT04X1-d9TwA54cvOpl5Glv4gJeWyUaLy4362Rj7aL9bh-sdibNyNYQvwq5WAkT5NYN7jnlHNdklG713KddwrazGOQ/s1600/Bag+Flying.+1JPG.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513566958035519554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifSxdrOMUihP_KFpI-AUpF78K-jiejR0QO7DXvHcA5OPJsgSwpD2vT04X1-d9TwA54cvOpl5Glv4gJeWyUaLy4362Rj7aL9bh-sdibNyNYQvwq5WAkT5NYN7jnlHNdklG713KddwrazGOQ/s320/Bag+Flying.+1JPG.JPG" border="0" /></a> Alayna and Mason just laughed and laughed as they flew their kites!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6qYxEHAvzrhwHfVo3TvN9Sd_JKOgZUkYRwcpxDm38gPy3rXAPAamBkIOIOe9iVbj3p7ajXH2zWA1W-6D7B5wDfc7nv0gKxAqHkt8INDw3PLJ7vEDmUUWLVqX3YmQSdFXveppqiIBjxalL/s1600/Bag+Flying.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513566947579773106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 206px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6qYxEHAvzrhwHfVo3TvN9Sd_JKOgZUkYRwcpxDm38gPy3rXAPAamBkIOIOe9iVbj3p7ajXH2zWA1W-6D7B5wDfc7nv0gKxAqHkt8INDw3PLJ7vEDmUUWLVqX3YmQSdFXveppqiIBjxalL/s320/Bag+Flying.JPG" border="0" /></a>Tiana had fun doing twirls on the lawn with hers!<br /><br /><div> </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div></div>Camillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13436717138679709651noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719798364483155884.post-41328429326019362572010-08-25T12:48:00.004-06:002010-08-25T12:53:26.127-06:00Bear Lake<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDHUmO3arpug_5Ngiqls3PWjdiDPfdlOnsc434Mh0S7oV8DKpz5ReC6h5iwOQxIefhoB_FQL1RrQ4225mZaZypyuWpEi_ZSxf-L8I-eN72qtLCEDi9S2i5IC7SHmPDXpamh49w7zIZBeHX/s1600/Bear+Lake+2010+-+027.jpg"><br />For our final hurrah, we did a day trip up to Bear Lake with the Jeffs family.
