4th of july '09

Okay, I know it's a month late, but I never have time to get on the computer. At least it gets done sometime! This year for the 4th we took our kids to dinner at Kaleb's favorite place, Wieners! (aka Wingers). Then we headed to Thanksgiving Point to watch fireworks. We had great seats, right behind the movie theater. Suprisingly the traffic wasn't that bad. We had some fun with the camera and the kids were being really goofy.





It was Avree's 1st time seeing fireworks. She liked them at first, and I think she got bored after awhile. It was nice just having our little family do something together. They sure are cute!

Lake Powell Trip

Last weekend we took the kids to Lake Powell with Joels' family. The kids really loved it. We hiked up Dark Canyon which is by Hite Marina and swam in these pools of water. I was surprised at how well the kids did hiking. Avree had it pretty easy, but Kaleb stayed with us all the way, thanks to his Aunts and Uncles who helped him. The kids really enjoyed playing in the water. If you haven't ever had a chance to go, I totally recommend it.

Avree loved to do this during rides.



That pudding must be delicious.

Apparently Kaleb really needed to go to the bathroom. Don't worry, it's censored.


Isn't that beautiful.



I promise he's not crying. He really liked it.

Easy ride!

T-Ball

We signed Kaleb up to play t-ball this year with the city. He's really enjoying it. He's got 2 of his friends on his team. It's been nice to see him get out and enjoy something like this. He loves to be out and playing with other kids.

Team talk

Kaleb up to bat. He got out each time he hit because he forgot to run. We're working on that.

Baja Cruise= no kids!

At the beginning of June, Joel and I went on a cruise with some friends of ours. It was a lot of fun. We went to Vegas on the way, that was interesting. Then headed to San Diego. We went to Catalina Island and then to our surprise were able to go to Ensenada Mexico. Originally we weren't suppose to port there because of the Swine flu. But we had to dock for customs to check the boat and they let us get off. The people there were so excited to have us come. We were the 1st cruise ship in 2 months! We had a great time with our friends. Thanks guys!
