Fun, Fun and More Fun!!!


We were able to stop at Trafalga for a while and the kids had a blast at this mini Lagoon. They loved the rides and Cambree even had a great time!


My brother and his friend took the girls on a date and you would have thought that they had died and went to Heaven!! Caroline was so nice and even did their hair and makeup!

Aunt Susan's B-Day gifts always cause much anticipation.... and Malia was so excited to see all of the adorable clothes and accessories!!
Nothing Like Good Old Friends!!! We were so excited to see a bunch of our friends from Iowa a few weeks ago. It's crazy how much the kids have all grown but it was great to see how they just picked right up, like they had never been apart!!









Aunt Lindy and Uncle Ryan always have something fun to do! We went on a 3 mile hike with the kids and had a great time. The kids loved the stream at the end and played for about an hour!


Kaylee and Malia with Kort.
Cambree's first dental exam with Uncle Ryan!
The girls had a fun time roller skating like all of us used to do back in the day!




Lake Powell!!! Cambree had had enough by the end, Can you tell?
We got a mouse on the houseboat this year... yuck!! All of the strong, brave men decided to save the day with brooms, chasing and a lot of screaming. It's so funny that a little mouse can make grown men scream like girls!










We got to celebrate Malia's 6th and Grandpa's 60th B-Day!!





There was a big rainstorm and the kids got to sit in the warm water and watch the beautiful waterfalls!


Bathing Beauties!!!
Cambree and Savannah decided it is a lot more comfortable to suntan inside!
It's so nice to have brothers that aren't married; they make the best uncles!! These boys played and played and played with all of their nieces and nephews!
Me surfing! Super fun and relaxing!








These two girls loved the sand, they filled, dumped and carried buckets for a long long time. Cambree was quite the little swimmer. She loved the kick-board and I was amazed that she would swim in that deep water all by herself.


4th of July!!



Cambree finally grasped the concept of picking up the candy this year. She's not as quick as all the other kids but some kind people next to us had compassion on her and by the end her sack was twice as full as everyone else's!!

The cousins all ran the 1 mile race again, we didn't have many winners this year but they all did great!

Ryder's Baptism: It was such a special day and we had a great time playing at the park after. TJ and his other uncle literally threw these kids around for an hour, the kids were having so much fun they couldn't get enough!



We were lucky enough to watch our athletic cousins play some baseball!
The best part of softball... TREATS!!!

Don't let these innocent faces deceive you! These two can get into so much trouble it is unbelievable! They have thrown everyone's belongings into the bottom of a pool, dumped a bottle of sunscreen out and lathered themselves up, thrown m&m's all over the floor while nobody is watching, but to top it all off they decided to undress themselves and both pooped in my parents backyard!! Yes, they both had poop on their legs and thank goodness the older kids told on them or who knows what would have been next!!



Carrie convinced me to do a 10K with her and we made it!
As a kid we would always hike up to the Corral of Rocks and so I took the girls up and relived some childhood memories!!

Uncle Trend showing the girls the city!






Cambree was ecstatic to be just like grandma.
All the cousins had a great time at the cabin; they had a treasure hunt, went hiking, canoeing, watched movies and played in the funnest toy room ever!





My aunt Viv has a love sac that is used for a much greater purpose!

What a fun summer!! How fun to get to hang with "Iowa Crowd". It's crazy to see how much all of the kids have grown since we lived in Iowa.
