End of May

Kiley found a bucket at the park and used it to play in the dirt.

Chad had to work in Escalante. Since he was close to one of his favorite backpacking places, he decided to spend the night. He had a lot of fun and so did Daisy.

Chad took a cornish game hen and roasted it over the fire.

The finished product. He called me while he was cooking and burned the skin a little bit. Oops!

One of the fish Chad caught. He kept this and ate it. It ended up making him sick which made for a not so fun day for him. 

Davin and Michelle came over one day to play in Kiley's pool. She was so excited to go swimming but I told her she had to wait for Davin to get here. She kept checking to see if he was here yet. It was pretty funny!

Lookin' cool

I let Kiley paint in the bath tub one day. She loved it.

We went to Moab over Memorial weekend. Sally thought she had put the candy out of Kiley's reach. It got really quiet and I told Chad to go find Kiley and that she was probably in the candy. He didn't think she could get it and this is where he found her with a few pieces of Chocolate in her mouth.

Chad and I took a drive up the river road in Ken's Miata. It was fun driving through the canyon with the top down. We drove to an overlook of Fisher Towers. (of course I don't actually have a picture of Fisher towers.)

On Saturday, we drove to Arches Natl. Park. We hiked to an arch in Windows and then we hiked to Sand Dune Arch so Kiley could play in the sand. The wind was blowing really hard and the sand stung really bad. We had fun anyway.

Kiley put her glasses on herself. That explains the crookedness.

This is Chad's cousin Dustin. We went to his homecoming on Sunday. He did a fabulous job. He just returned from South Korea! 

On Memorial Day, we hiked up to our tree so we could add Amy to the tree. Chad and I started our tree in 2008. It has become a fun tradition to hike up every summer.

Kiley got to help carve her 12 into the tree. 

Oops. Don't know why this is sideways but I'm to lazy to fix it.

On May 30, Chad was washing the car and watering the lawn and flowers when Kiley decided she needed to have a water fight. She kept getting sprayed and then spraying her dad. He was so good to wrestle with her in the water and to let her chase him with the hose. She had so much fun. I'm glad I wasn't in on it though. It was not the warmest evening for a water fight.

All smiles after getting soaked.

Chad and Amy were pretty worn out. Chad from the water fight and Amy because this is what she does best!
