Tami Wakeboarding

Trev Wakeboarding


We went boating and wake boarding in the Mantua Reservoir with Chase, Ryan, and Chelsea. Besides being slimy, it was a great time.

For Trev's Nelson Family Reunion we had a Hawaiian Party at the park in Perry. It was lots of fun.

Maddy and Riley playing at Bluewater

Bill and Mitzi


Only those who were in the storm would understand how bad it was...

This was just the beginning

And then the Sandstrom came...


We were all having a great time at Bear Lake hoping the clouds we saw to the west were going to stay over there. Then all of a sudden, there was pure chaos on the beach as the wind picked up sand and pelted our eyes and against our skin. Really, I have never seen anything like it. Our legs were burning, our kids were screaming, our stuff was flying everywhere, and all you could do was stand there and hold a towel against your kids and wait for it to pass. It took a long time and I'm just really glad it wasn't any worse. Trevor somehow managed to take these pics...

Our little Models


This is Riley with her cousins Emma, Maddy, and Sydney. It was so funny because when I said "Say Cheese" Riley, Maddy and Sydney all struck a pose in the sand. We all laughed...Maybe we take way too many pics of these girls... is that possible?

Trev and Luke building Sandcastles

Riley and Lauren (I think) at Raspberry Days


Chelsea's twins are so cute, but I still struggle telling them apart now that they are about the same size. They had on outfits that were a lot like Riley's shirt that day...

Riley on the slide at Raspberry Days in Bear Lake

Playing


Yes, we do have a slide with a pool of balls at the bottom in our living room. At least the kids have nonstop entertainment, right? That's what I tell myself as I pick up these balls over and over again...

Luke and Riley playing together

Luke loved dressing up as a Fireman

Playing Indians

Riley as Robin Hood or Peter Pan ...

Porter and Luke

Luke at the Treehouse Museum


My friend, Jade, and her two kids, Porter and Marli, invited us to go to the Treehouse Museum in Ogden last week. The kids had so much fun they could've stayed there all day.

Pretty Alaska


Chase and Trev... While they were in Alaska, Chase got his mission call to the Netherlands!!

Pimp Daddy fish slayer


Trev gave his own title for this one...

Trev, His Dad, and Chase

Trev In Alaska


Trev went to Alaska with his Dad and his brother, Chase, in July for ten days. He's pretty proud of all the fish they caught. We eat Salmon and Halibut for dinner every night. :)

Purse Invitations


I made these little purse invitations for our Mother Daughter Primary Activity Days Party. They took me so long to make that I figured I would at least take a pic of them all.

Luke's Bedhead

Riley

Cute Feet!

Julie's Gorgeous House in I. F.

This is Julie's house... it is amazing inside and out down to the smallest detail. I asked her if I could please just live in one side of her huge garage...

Luke and Riley playing outside

Cousins

Riley and Ethan -- the best of friends

Luke and Tami on a Carousel at the Zoo

At the Zoo in Idaho Falls


2 weeks ago, we went and stayed with Julie in Idaho Falls for 5 days. Our kids had tons of fun together. Here is Luke, Riley, Ethan and Garrett on a tiger at the zoo.

We made it!


This is at the very top of our hike. There was also a pretty lake there called Cecret Lake (really spelled like that)

Halfway


This is about halfway to the top top of our hike...

One of the many squirrels on the hike...

Watching the squirrels


Luke and Riley had so much fun feeding the squirrels we saw along the hike. Luke liked watching them so much that he decided to feed one his whole sandwich.

Riley on the hike


A couple weeks ago Mitzi, Chelsea, the twins, and Riley, Luke and I went on a fun hike up Cottonwood Canyon. It was a little more rugged than we thought it would be, but we had a great time and the kids were great little climbers. And the twins were great sports being carried once we had to ditch the strollers. Really, I can't believe we made it to the top. And yes, I was wearing platform shoes. Chelsea has more pics on her site. If only I had some horrible pics of her to post, I would. (Just wait!)
