Bear Lake 09'

Prepare for picture overload! Sorry I just couldn't decide. So I include a lot. Gracie and Olivia on the boat with Jamie.Devin, Mindi and Stephanie on the tube. Our triple tub died so we rent this single tub I guess it wasn't to fun. They took it back after one run. Bear Lake camp 2009 It doesn't look much different than other years.

Justin with Tate's floater on his head. He is hilarious!

Gracie in the boat. Anytime we had the boat the Gracie and Olivia had to be in it.

The wonderful Island that Nathan got Pam for mother's day. Oh we loved it! Thank you Nathan and Celiece. We didn't even have to come in all day. We just took a drink and sunscreen and maybe some chips and we where good!

Another view. Jerry had a few names for the island of course they were all nice. The hen house was one of them.

Another view

Our morning activity every one getting their hair braided. My girls enjoy this every year!

Parker getting ready for the day.

And our nightly activity watching entertainment that Jerry has prepared.

And the girls love to play set with there cousins. It is one game I have trouble trying to learn I just don't get it. Maybe it is the age.

Part of the nightly activity.

I'm so sad when this week is over. It is one of my very favorite parts of the year. I need to find something else to look forward to along with Bear Lake it would make it easier (maybe not). Till next year. YEAH only 10 more months.

Sleep and New Dresses

My Aunt Peggy came out over the 4th of July what a busy weekend it was. We where able to get the girls new dresses. I'm still looking for a shrug for the two little ones. Aren't they cute!Gracie needed a hair cut and she decided to let the grow. I don't like that I don't think we will cut the again. Olivia fell asleep with the dog by her. When ever she goes to sleep she has Taz by her side and they sleep like this. I'm surprised Taz will do it and stay that way for awhile.

Taz is such a good dog! We sure love him. The saddest part is when they get older they are such better dogs. You finally have them trained and then there old. I guess maybe that is how I'll be Jerry might have me trained the way he wants some day!!!

Feeding the Fish

After the fireworks we spent the night at Brad and Pam's. Pam made the very best Breakfast we have ever had. We have had to make it several times since that day. Celiece and Nathan and the boys came up and had breakfast with us. They left Parker with us and we walked up to this beautiful backyard with a pond in the back. You can feed the fish and there is this awesome swing the kids got to swing on.Gracie swinging they would fight about who's turn it was. Brad and Parker relaxing.

Parker's turn to swing

Pam pushing a kid I don't know which one.

Pam and Parker.

Gracie and Olivia feeding the fish. It is amazing how many they are. It is a natural spring. It is the coolest, prettiest backyard.

More fish feeding.

Jerry and Brad checking out the fish!

Thank you Brad and Pam we had the best time. We can't wait to come down again!

Invite to ALL!

I'm having a Scentsy party tomorrow from 6 to 8. If anyone would like to come your invited!!

Surprise

Many months ago Jerry called and asked me how much do I love my kids? Well alot was my answer, well the Jonas Brothers where coming to the Stadium of Fire lets try and get tickets. We had tried for Hannah Montana the year before but couldn't get them. So we tried and guess what we got them. We didn't tell the kids till the morning of the 4th of July after the Lewiston parade. They went nuts so we packed and where on our way! Megan with a permanent smile and Olivia danced in the isle and would scream after every song she entertained all the people around us! All we could do was smile and laugh! The girls dancing and singing along!

I believe on the big screen is Nick and the three on the front singing. We didn't have spectacular seats but they where okay! We also got to see Glenn Beck before the Jonas Brothers.

More of them singing!

We had an awesome fly over and they had the pilots on the big screen talking through all of it as they left Hill Air force Base! It was cool!

Someone in Brad and Pam's ward couldn't use there tickets so they got 4 seats and where able to go with us. Brookann and Scott came too. Did I mention that Olivia adores Scott she holds his hand and is right with him at every turn!! We had a great time they where a 2 sections over from us!

All of us waiting for it to start

The stadium as if filled up! We have never been to the Stadium of Fire it was a great experience one I hope we repeat! And if you have never surprised your kids I highly recommend it! It brought tears to our eyes how excited they where! We had a super time!

And Moving on.......

Next between rain storms in June we where off to Manti for the Pageant. We haven't been since Gracie was a baby. We head down to Brad's(Jerry's oldest brother) and meet up there with the family. Brad took us to a cafe in Mapleton I believe called the "Model A" it was pretty good. Celiece and the boys ate with us but only Parker got to go the rest of the way to Manti to see the pageant. I can't believe how good Parker was he was better than my two little ones. This is Brad, Pam and Parker. Clair and Helen (Jerry's parents) Jamie with Nicole and Nancy

Jamie, Nancy and Curt ( Jerry's other older brother)

Olivia not a very good picture either sorry about that!

We had a good time the weather held out till the end. Nathan's parents where kind enough to let us stay in their cabin that was about a half hour/ hour away from Manti I don't remember where it was. It was great to not have to drive another couple hours to go to sleep. Thank you so much again Celiece and Nathan.
