Bear Lake

A week-end trip to Bear Lake with Grammy Vicki and Pop-Pop is a cure for anything. It was going to be great.  To start off, we lent our neighbors the portable DVD player, but Bear Lake is only a 2 hr ride and we thought our kids could entertain themselves for that short of time. Well, Abby did great as you can tell in the 1st picture, but Davis on the other hand missed his DVD player or at least Mom and Dad missed it.  Davis was still wide-awake at 9:30p.m. when we pulled up to the cabin.       

This is the story of our lives. This boy refuses to sleep in the car.

The kids are passing the time in the sand box waiting("100 hundred hours." says Abby) to get on the boat.

Finally, the boy gets to ride on a boat.

Like father like son. While we were on the dock, Davis loved putting his feet in the ski boots and playing with the rope handles just like dad did.

What is it with my kids?  You'd think their Dad was a photographer or something. Definantly not camera shy!!

After boating for awhile, we all ended up in the water to cool off. All Davis wanted to do was jump in from the back of the boat.

Thanks Grammy and PopPop for a great Bear Lake Week-end!!!

Pioneer Day

July 24th, 2008

Since Preston and I both had the day off, we decided to take advantage to it.  We started out with the Pioneer Day Parade. Early that morning we went to Liberty Park to watch the floats, bands, and horses come in.  OH MY GOSH!! can you say HOT!!! It was just blazing!! Before the parade was even over we had to go find the splash park area and let the kids get wet and cool down.  Next, we headed over to Tracey Avery to see a free bird show (it was kind of lame). We had a great time as a family. Hopefully we can make this a yearly tradition!!

Here we are at the Days of '47 Rodeo. A rodeo that goes from Mon-Thurs of the week of July 24th. Davis is a wee bit scared of the sounds cows make, so do I need to mention that not a muscle was moved by him during the bull riding.

Kids playing

We got the kids this little pool to have in the yard so I can get some dishes done.  It's a bit small for Abby to have much fun, but Davis sure loves it. 

(These two are videos)

         

Davis is a fish and loves any water

 

Busy, busy, busy, busy!!!!!  

Notice: the fence in the background was taken apart so the kids could play back and forth with the neighbor kids. (just for you, Randy)
