Camping, sunburns, and smores

This weekend we went camping. It was so much fun. It was our ward camp out. We set up camp with our friends that were husbandless. We all helped each other out. It was so much fun. The kids ran and played. It was a good time. This weekend I had a few things pop into my head. I kept thinking about how much David would have had with us. I take for gran tit how much playing he does with the kids. I am usually occupied with something and he plays with them. I really had a great time getting down and playing with the kids. They are so innocent and care free. The kids were so dirty and wiped out and they still didn't have a care in the world. It was so fun to see how much joy they were having and to know that you were the one giving it to them. I forget how much they need more moments like that. Brooklyn kept saying this is so much fun I am having so much fun. I was also thinking how nice it is to have good friends. I don't know how I could have done this by myself. I am so lucky to have such great friends around that i can rely on. I also couldn't help but think how fast time is going by. I cant believe that Brooklyn will be 4 in a few weeks. Dawson is sitting up and crawling. Landon is almost 2 1/2. We have been in the navy for 6 years in October. Me and David have been married 5 1/2 years. Time is going by so fast. One day turns into months later. I was also thinking about the things I have taken from my childhood done with my family. I had such a great childhood. It was so fun and so positive I hope I can give that to my kids. I always had such a great peace and sense of love at my house. I knew that every time I went to my mom or dad they were going to greet me with a big hug. There was so much patience and so positive. I hope I can give my kids the same
