Lake Powell Trip!

Another unbelievably fun trip to powell. Thanks to my parents who let us stay at their condo and for my mom to come join us so that we would have a boat to use while down there!! Griff and I had our one year anniversary on July 25th! We celebrated in powell with our friends and some family! Our crew was Mom, me, griff, chelsey and scott jackson, BJ Bateman, Dan and Dallas Vansweden, and we were lucky enough to have the youngs with us for a couple days also!

Love this picture, its everyone besides my momma...The water was like bath water. I really could have stayed in there forever.

Shayne and Mike hangin out while we pulled kids on the tube

Cute Andie, Paige, and Ell! (we miss you taryn)

Asher was the best flagger ever! Must be the life jacket

Griffin and BJ

Our Captain!

Oiiiieeee!!!!

I think dal likes to have her picture taken dont ya think!

Okay so the boys thought they were funny and were hiding behind a huge bush in the water. They then put sticks in their hair and swam towards us thinking we couldnt see them :)

All i see is three small plants swimming towards us.

Chelsey made this contraption so that she wouldn't sunburn her shoulders! Love ya chels

Dal the flag girl!

Gorgeous canyon

Mom water skiing...its blurry because she goes so fast i can't snap a clear picture.

The boys thinking they are so funny!

Cute Griff

Swimming,snowies,sisters,and stinkerpots

So the other day i was watching the little girlies and we took a Mcdonalds run! Too bad their playground was closed but the girls were still happy as ever. Sweet Indi and Sloaney!

Alright so Beaux was in the funniest mood ever. I told her to start making funny faces and these are the shots i got! I am surprised i got all of these because i was laughing so hard it was difficult. So here we go.......the MANY faces of Beaux. Enjoy

Another night at the Surf N' Slurp!!!!


If i remember right Indi gets watermelon ice, mango, banana.....and one other flavor i cant remember.

Beautiful mommy and daughter

Tired sweet sloaney

On another note here is hayley and darla getting ready to give her new home a facelift with some toasty grey paint!

POOL TIME......again

Do you not just love those faces!!!!(picture above and below)

Future cheerleader just like her momma!

Griffin would throw beaux SO high and she loved it! She just kept saying "i want to go in the sky again"...

The end

Lunch date, swimmin, and earings!

Griffin and I never have time to get lunch together! So the other day when our scheduals aligned we snagged some Rio together. I love this picture of griff, he looks so cute.

I had to take a picture of our food because we were both SO hungry that we practically inhaled our meals, drinks and yummy tres leche.

After lunch we met the little munchkins for some swim time! I think the whole time griffin and indi played, sloaney enjoyed swimming in the deep end (dont tell ellery, although she was wearing a life jacket), and i listened to beaux saying "i want to go high in the sky" the ENTIRE time we were swimming. She was wanting me to throw her up in the air. So much fun!

Sloaney Girl

Beauxski

In heaven

Tired from all of that flying i bet

Nicole joined in on the fun! She brought all of the fun pool toys for the girls.

Last but not least i used to make earings and really enjoyed it. So i decided i wanted to do it again. So i've been making and trying some new things....thought i'd share what i've made so far.

Happy 4th!

Happy Fourth of July! Griffin is always excited for the 4th of july because that means a camping/fishing trip with the boys in his family. They take off on the third and stay the night, fish and im sure sing around the fire together :) I love that he has such a good time although it does leave me alone on the morning of the fourth. So i spent the day with the girlie pictured below :)

Boston relaxing and taking in the moment.....probably celebrating his freedom don't you think..

Griffin and Joe probably talking about sports or how griffin is scared of jumping in after one of his babies.

I caught Hay with a rice crispy in her mouth and a brownie on her plate!! LOVE HOLLIDAYS!

The kids playing a pool game. If you make this picture bigger and look close it would make a really good DOTS add :)

I don't have any pictures but we have a perfect view of the Stadium of Fire fireworks so we went over and watched them with Cassidy and Nicole. Love the 4th....can't believe its over.

Powell and Pups

Lake Powell here we come!!!! This is Griffin and I getting ready to head off to powell. So excited :) On our way we stopped to get some cheese burgers w/ extra CHEECE haha we thought that sign was pretty funny.

Ellery and I on our way to the lake!

I love this picture of Griffin. He looks so cute. Love ya griff, you're a babe.

Here is my momma!! She is getting ready to water ski!! yes my mom is awesome!

Here is my dad fake yelling at Ellery to get in the watter and ski. It was actually pretty hillarious to watch him. He's really good at fake yelling for some reason ;)

The boys dancing to get my mom up to ski first thing in the mornin.

Maddy driving the boat for the first time.

Jordan and Brinley the two Zebras we brought with us.

On another note i found these cute pictures of the pups so i thought i would post them as well.

This is Beaux with tessy. Beaux LOVES tess and tess LOVES Beaux!

I had Darla and Lulu in my bug with the top down one day. It was pretty hillarious to watch Lulu. I think she was a little confused.

Im not so sure she liked the wind :) She looks like Super Dog or something!
