Home away from home!

Can't get enough fun in the sun at Bear Lake!
Everyone on the tube, even the dog!

Ty needs a little coolin' off.

Taking Nana for a tube ride.

The little "princess ride" for my niece, Lexi and also for my dad!

Holy Cow Hailey girl! Look how much air she caught on the wakeboard!

Josh on the wakeboard! Doing awesome buddy!
After a great day of playing on the water, my parents took us to the Pickleville Playhouse and the BBQ after! We saw "Who Shot Juanito Bandito." The whole family loved it so much!

Now, I have been going to Bear Lake for 15 years and have never done this.
(I will blame for my husband for that :))
It was so much fun! Pickleville Playhouse will now be something we do every year!
I'm going to make it a new "TRADITION!"
(thanks mom and dad)

Lake Powell

This is camp....Oh, how I miss the trailer.

Mike and Hailey getting dinner going

Josh just wiped out! Fell asleep in the chair while waiting for dinner.

The Boys....

Hailey getting ready to wake board!
Her and Josh are now jumping the wake! Pretty Cool!
Just took a little bribery from dad ($20) if they would do it!

Cliff Jumping!
(Josh, Carlie, Hailey, & Ricki)

Carter thinks he one of the big kids. This is him and Carlie climbing the rocks! I'm sitting in the boat nervous as can be thinking he's going to slip!
Found a little spot where Carter could also "cliff" jump! :)
The Flag girl!

Carter and Carlie!

The cousins chillin' after a long day of playing!

Rainbow Bridge!

It was a very fun, HOT trip with the Gallachers! We had to dip our towels in the lake and lay them across us to cool off! Can't wait to go back! AAAHHH, the memories!

Kindergarten Graduation!

I can't believe my baby is going to first grade! That means I can shop all by myself! (I've been waiting for this day) No more getting those big "Car" carts at the grocery store that he wants to ride in so bad, but NEVER stays IN it. No more having to try to avoid the cereal aisle because that is also the TOY aisle. I don't have to hear him complaining about shopping because he would rather stay home and play with friends! I can actually listen to the radio in my car instead of the DVD player. My list could go on and on and on..... :)
But, am I going to miss all the hugs I get during the day.

Carters teacher, Ms. Huntington, giving him his award packet.

His BFF, Jack!

Also his friends, Sarah and Benjamin

Carter had a great kindergarten year. He learned so much and is excited for his new adventure. He thinks it's cool that he gets to have lunch at school with his friends.

Spring Break!

I was deleting pictures from my camera and saw these. I totally forgot to download them to my computer. OOPS! Thought I better post these. This is from our trip to Idaho for spring break. Every chance I get, I want to go home.

Hailey and Papa

Chillin' while watching TV

Carter always makes a mess...toys everywhere...

Our favorite place to go....Leo's

After Leo's we went bowling! So much fun!
Here is Carter and Addison!

The gang!

Aunt Pam and my mom!

We have such a great time visiting with family when we go to Idaho. Can't wait to go back!

Memorial Day!

Usually memorial weekend we spend camping, but this year the weather was rainy. We decided to take the kids around to decorate graves. Here we are in American Fork at my Grandpa King's grave. Wish he would've been around to see my family. Miss you Grandpa!


We found grandpas name on the wall.
We also went to Grandma Hortin's (Taylor) grave. Hailey was only 2 when she passed away. She was 95.

Theater...

Hailey is taking a theater class in 7th grade, and has found that she loves acting!
Here she is playing Chill in the play, Jungle Book.

With her friend, Kiera who plays a snake.
and the cast at the end of the play.

Sand Dunes!

We've been on a couple day rides to the sand dunes last month. It's so much fun now that everybody has their own 4-wheeler. We like to take long rides, fine jumps and bowls, and play "cat and mouse" through the trees.

Carter and Mike jumping

Mike is measuring the distance between Josh and Hailey jumps....

And Mr. C is spinning doughnuts!

Both Josh and Hailey broke the flags off their 4-wheelers. (Glad that's all that broke.)

Hailey lovin' the watermelon!

Where ever there is dirt, there is Carter!
