Camping at Albion Basin

We decided it was time for our first camping trip with all four kids so we headed up to Alta. It was absolutely beautiful and covered with wildflowers! We set up camp and headed for a hike to Secret Lake. The kids had so much fun climbing rocks and finding Salamanders in the lake. It really felt like we were on vacation yet we were so close to home. Sleeping that night was not so great but that is another story.

We have had a busy Spring building a coop for the new chickens and getting our yard up to snuff for the 300 people who are going to come check it out for the Salt Lake Tour of Coops. Ivy still refuses to sleep through the night and so Naava is like a zombie in the day. Porter keeps getting cuter. The cuter he gets the more terrible he gets. Loch loves the Wii and everything Mario. Lila is a pleaser and just wants to make everyone happy, which makes everyone grouchy. Tyler shaves one a month, Naava shaves once a year and we are happy that way.


Happy to be here

The Family has been enjoying our finished basement.

On Memorial day we introduced Ivy to Ivy. They were happy to meet.




Porter has been carrying this lizard around making a crying sound. It is his new baby that he takes care of.

What we have been up to...

Spring Chickens!

The family decided to jump on the urban chicken trend! Henrietta, Gertrude, Grettell and Pearl have joined the Rockwood household. The coop is nearly complete and the chickens are not so cute anymore but still loveable. We are excited for eggs in a few months and the kids have enjoyed "parenting" by digging up fresh worms and daily grazing in the backyard.
