Sound of Music at Tuacahn

In St. George Utah they have a natural ampitheater in the red rocks, It's beautiful. My mom takes them every year. This year they saw Sound of Music, they said it was the best one ever

Payge's birthday at Gramies

They loved the ice cream cupcakes!

More great pics from cousins camp

They played carnival games

They had a great time during the whip cream fight

We had lots of ATV rides

To Jamie's house we go!

So, we went to visit my best friend from collage. She has three girls, plus my four, there were 7 children under the age of 9. There was very little fighting, only among sisters of course, but they had so much fun together. We took way to many pictures, but there was too much good stuff.

Taytum sunbathing poolside.

We never got tired of Mcdonalds, or at least not the kids.
We swam everyday!!!
I am surprised Payge's ears didn't stick that way!
Jamie's huband, Tucker telling them thier bedtime stories, They couldn't get enough!

They were upset they couldn't all fit.
I was the human slingshot for all the kids!
My little daredevil, The others would never do this at 4.
Tucker was launching the kids, no one would believe me if I told them so I had to get this pic!

Jamie's backyard, more water fun!

Peyton loved Reyse, she was her baby.
WHO WANTS TO MAKE COOKIES!!!!
Mom's with thier babies!
Go Taytum!

At Grandmas on the river in Parker, AZ

Reyse loved her life-jacket, and floating in the water.

Maybe Payge thinks that if she waters the sand flowers will grow? She spent as much time playing in the sand as in the water.

I am surprised Baylee doesn't have webbed feet, she was in the water nonstop for at least 6 or more hours a day every day!

Reyse loved to feel the wind in her hair in Papa Rene's boat!

Taytum loved collecting the seashells, lots, and lots, and lots of seashells!

Gabe was a little nervous driving his first boat. Two minutes later a small incident accured, I think it might be his last time at the wheel as well.

To Nana and Papa's next!

We celebrated Payge's 4th birthday and Gabe's 37th.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Aunt Bonnie got rented a giant waterslide for all the kids, they played all day.

I don't think Reyse's feet ever hit the floor, thanks Grandma!

Gabe and Baylee were having fun on the little scooters Papa bought. 1 minute later Gabe broke the wheel off, Kids Only Gabe!

GET ME WARM NANA!

Taytum and Papa had lots to talk about!

Sand boxes are the best, A first for Reyse

Nana and Papa and all the GREAT- grandkids!!!

Beginning of Summer Trek

So I'll start from the beginning of our summer trek to visit all we know. We flew from Texas June 11th. Me and four children on a very crowded plane. Let's just say that I am glad the poor woman sitting next to me was a mother of eight!

We landed in Vegas and stayed with my Cousin Miki for a few days, and swam ourselves to death. Lots of Fun!!!

Next we drove to Cedar City Utah. AHHHH somewhat cool. All the eight year old cousins were present as well as the two Grandmas. There was the hike in Zions which I think the kids thought would be okay, but when they returned from the four mile hike exhausted they were asking to go on the longer one next year. Go figure, here's some pics from the hike,





Next day they went to The Manti pageant which is a live production they do on a hillside after the sun goes down. When they got back to Cedar we rode ATV'S and played games. The last day we had some games out front and had a pie tins filled with whip cream and threw those at each other, then washed it down with 400 water balloons. The kids had so much fun they can't wait until next year.

I Can't Believe It

Yes, I did it. I started a blog. I am totally computer illiterate, but I really liked the idea of journaling for my family. And since we don't live near any family, it's a great way for them to be involved with our daily life. Not that those are completely original ideas to the experienced bloggers, but I wanted to join the bandwagon!

Enjoy!
