So before I get into what we did over the 4th of July; I just want to tell you what a miracle it is that I even have these pictures,and all the pictures I will be posting through September. So in September I started downloading all the pictures from my memory card from the summer. When they all pulled up I chose the option that clears the memory card once they are all downloaded and hit import. Somehow only one picture was selected and imported. The rest of my 344 pictures where deleted off the card. I could not believe what just happened. 4 Months of our lives was just erased..at least that's how I felt! I burst into tears and called my parents to see if they new anything about recovering these photos. We tried a couple things to recover them on the computer but since they weren't actually imported there was nothing we could do. So I immediately started praying that somehow I could find a way to at least recover some pictures... or feel better about loosing them. As I was accepting the fact that the pictures where gone I thought to call my friend Megan, who got me started with the blog and picasa3 photo viewer. I wondered if she might know something. As I talked to her she found some software online called WinRecovery Software that recovers memory cards.I guess there are a bunch of different programs like this and I'm sure some of you already know this; but this was a miracle to me! I had to pay $30 for the software but it was a small price to pay! Thanks Megan, you helped answer my prayer. Also Thanks to Mom and Dad for Praying for my petty little problem!So the 4th of July weekend we went to Thanksgiving Point Fireworks! Because it was going to be late when the fireworks started I brought Oaklee some pj's, which came in very handy! It was really windy and freezing! Oaklee didn't care too much, she was having a blast running around and learning how to roll down the hill.
If you're wondering if I have a booger hanging from my nose..I promise it's just a cold sore!We had to wait for like an hour to ride this little cow train, but Oaklee really wanted to ride it! 
The Fireworks where very cool and Oaklee was in aww..she loved it!
Then we decided to take the boys camping. It was a blast! We went up Spanish Fork Canyon and found a camping spot, and the next morning hiked up to Diamond Fork Hot-springs!Just chill'in by the fire pit!
Getting ready to hike to the hot-springs! I got left behind a little bit with all these fit boys...keep in mind I was 3 months pregnant and not feeling too great!
Look at these Sexy boys!
At the hot-springs there is a waterfall that has a hole in the middle that you can climb up and stick your head out of. The water is freezing but it's lots of fun!Here's Connor,
Korbin,
Porter,
And Sam!
These Boys where so funny! Every picture they had to be flexing or posing in some way!
Oaklee and I loved playing in the water and watching the boys be boys!
Well we had such a great summer! We where able to go on lots of fun trips and make great memories! In June we spent a week in Coeur D'alene, ID with both Porter's and my Families and some of my Smoot cousins. We had so much fun just relaxing and spending time together. We stayed in a house right on the river, so we did lots of fishing, boating and swimming. (even though the water was freezing!) One of the days we where there we decided to bike the 17 mile Hiawatha Trail which follows an old rail road route through the mountains. Luckily it was mostly down hill. It was beautiful! There were lots of tunnels that were pitch black and freezing so everyone had to have a good light on our bikes and a sweat shirt to take on and off! I didn't have my camera so unfortunately I don't have any pictures but hopefully I will be getting some from my cousin! Also while we were there we celebrated, my mother in law, Shelly's, my little cousin, Liza's and My, Birthdays! We had a great time together and are so blessed to have such a great family!
