Bear Lake Fun

Saturday we went over to Bear Lake with the Palmers, Binghams and the Hess'. We had a great time. All the men had fun wakeboarding and we all had fun riding in the boat and hanging out on the beach. The water seemed extra cold. For some reason, it really doesn't phase my girls. They just want us to get in!

Luke, Allie and Kimball with their "binkies" or ring pops. These have been a favorite treat this summer.

One more silly face picture of Jaycie. Can she ever just smile??

Jaycie and her best friend Kori playing in the sand.

Teresa and I going out with the "moms" on a quick boat ride. Valerie always drives the boat out to the middle of the lake and we all have to jump in. Crazy and cold!!

So super tired!

After the big day playing at Bear Lake, Jaycie and Allie wanted to have a "sleep-over" downstairs. I put them to bed down in the family room on an air mattress. When I came to check on them a little while later, this is how I found Allie. I guess the stair is more comfortable than an air mattress!

What a weekend!

Last weekend, Amy and Travis and their kids came for a three night stay. We had a great time to say the least. We had a fun day shopping in Park City on Friday (despite the many temper tantrums)! Saturday I took my sister to a "cross fit" class (it's a crazy exercise program in Logan that I have been attending) and we barely lived. She thinks that she burned at least 7000 calories :) After we regained consiousness, we did some more shopping at the many stores Logan has to offer - ha ha! Then we took a trip up Providence Canyon for tin foil dinners (a touch on the burnt side - thanks to Crae and Travis) but still tasty. Church was an adventure with six kids, with four that are 4 and under, but we made it through all three hours - with a high need for caffeine when we got home. It was so good to have them come visit and to let all the kids play. Jaycie and Allie were so sad to have to say good bye. Here are some of pictures that were somewhat appropriate to post. (I sure wish the one of Travis imitating the olympic sand volley ball would've turned out!)




Poor Jaycie got a mosquito bite under her eye. It was completely swollen shut for the next two days!

We had a surprise visit from Ariel. She even sang "Ah Ah Ah, Ah Ah Ah,..." (This was Mya's build-a-bear clothes). Nice Amy!
