Corn on the Cob


We are a family who LOVES corn on the cob. The kids were so excited when Mike went to Brocks and brought some corn home.




Right now the kids really enjoy shucking the corn....doubt that will always be the case :)





This was Liam's first attempt at eating corn on the cob and he was really good at it and super impressed with how yummy it was! Even now if we are cooking some he will just point at it and make his yummy noise. "Mmmmm, Mmmmm"

Yep, he is a Neeley!

Fishing at Mill Hollow

We went to Mill Hollow one Saturday morning to take the kids fishing. They had so much fun! Emily caught 6 fish, and Brett caught 7!

Hahaha, such a funny boy!

Mike convinced Savannah to try and reel a fish in that he had on, once she started to reel it in the fish pulled. Savannah freaked out saying, "It moved!" She threw the pole down and would not try again.

Liam loved seeing the fish. The first time he touched the fish he pulled his hand back quickly, probably because it was wet. Then he immediately put his hand out and had a death grip on the poor fish! Luckily we were able to pry his hands loose and let the fish go, it swam away. Hopefully it survived the attack!


The picture taken right before the death grip :)There is an amazing lodge up by Mill Hollow where you can rent it during the weekend. It belongs to Granite School district, but is available to rent to the public. Family reunion anyone? It would be such a fun place to go.


It was so beautiful in the mountains, I just love Utah!

They even had an amphitheater by the lodge. Aren't these two so cute?

My little boy is getting so big! I love that he lives life to the fullest.

It was such a fun day! Hopefully we can get at least one more fishing trip in this year. Fishing is one thing I remember doing a lot growing up and I loved it as a kid. It is fun seeing my kids enjoy it too. I remember my Dad couldn't even get his pole in most fishing trips because he was so busy helping us. Mike couldn't get his pole in either, but had so much fun helping the kids learn how to fish.
