Lake Powell

We decided to do a final boating trip for the year and what better place to go than Lake Powell?? This is the second trip to powell this year, but the weather for this trip was absolutely perfect. It got up to a high of 90 during the day and down to the mid 50's at night. Over the 4th of July it was a touch Hot :) Im now having to start my anti-depressant medicine again as now it is time to Winterize the boat and put it away until next may :( Its the saddest part of the year...
This is the famous Store in the Mountain in Hanksville. No Powell trip is complete without a stop here... This is Ricky, Kylie, and Teag
Some old lady asked Morgan if she would walk her dogs for her, so Morgan was happy to help out. We all thought it was pretty funny
Teag and his blue mustache from the Gatorade. He had it the whole week

This is our private little cove where we set up camp. Ricky and Kylie would swim from Sunrise until sunset if they could! :)

First Day of School

I love the first day of school, it is so exciting. Kylie started 1st grade this year and it has been so much fun. She is loving every minute of it!! It is sad to have her leave in the morning and have her gone so long, she is growing up too fast. On her first day back Teagan and I didn't know what to do with ourselves, he kept on asking me where Kylie was and asking every 30 minutes if it was time to pick her up. But now I think he likes having her gone all day, he likes having mom and dad to himself.
Teagan started pre-school this year and I was a little worried that he would cry and not like it, but he loves it, and always wants to wear his backpack around. He likes that he is a big boy and can go to school like Kylie.

Summer Fun

We are so sad to say goodbye to summer, it went by too fast. Steve was real busy with work and I was going to school full time so our summer seemed to fly by. But we were able to have some fun this summer. On some of our trips to Utah I forgot to take my camera so I wasn't able to take pictures of the fun times we had. One of the trips we went to Park City to ride the Alpine Slide and Coaster and I am sure Steve was glad I didn't bring the camera so I could take a picture of him once again behind me as we raced down the slide. I think this is our third time racing and my third victory!!! We also went to Big Cottonwood Canyon and hiked down a trail to a stream, it was so pretty and I was so mad that I didn't bring my camera...I guess we will have to do it again. But any way, we had tons of fun and hopefully winter stays away for a little while...
Oh no, the trouble makers doing what they love best, eating Popsicles. Don't let them fool you by their sweet, innocent looking faces!
Hadley, Teagan, and Cooper
On one hot summer day we went to Ross Park to play in the pools. My sister and here kids plus a friend and her kids were able to come with us.
