Lake Powell is always so-o much fun, and
this year was no exception! We loved it, a lot
of the pictures are out of order, so just go with it!
Grandpa can somehow handle three, who knows what
is going to happen in december when #4 comes? grow
an extra arm maybe?!
The girls loved tubing! lexi has become a maniac.
she is always doing her "tricks" on the tube, standing
up, jumping, no hands, dragging her feet in the water!
She has no fear... I'm kinda worried about that!
Always sleep with one eye open!
And we had a ton of fun at causey too. Its so nice
being out of cell service, and just spending a weekend
4-wheeling, playing games, laughing and eating!
Not to mention its gorgeous up there!
-Thanks barkers!
They sure love their aunt jacque because
she teaches them all the bad tricks :)
like picking noses haha!

We celebrated the 24th in style again!at the bear river celebration, doesn't get

so fun!
Here's pres getting thrown off, and bumpa to the rescue!

When we got back from lake powell lexi must
have been really having withdrawls from the water.
I walked into the kitchen & she was sitting in the cooler
(still full of ice water) and saying she missed her houseboat!
more like "where in the heck is my freakin' houseboat?!"
and our TWO year old WAKEBOARDED! woo hoo!
our kid is the coolest (we think anyways!)
She wasn't so sure of it at first! ...
yup we're the mean parents, but its okay
it paid off!
She's a little fish! she loved the water, loved making
castles, collecting shells etc. She learned how to float on
her own and kick on her own to get where she wanted
(on her own meaning with a life jacket, but no help :)
Everynight she went to sleep alone, and in the morning
she wasn't alone...WIERD! after the first night we asked
grandpa if she had just climbed in with him.. he hesitated
then mumbled "kinda." yup we know how that works. oh well,
she loved it!
And i got to spend a lot of time doing this...whatever this is. i'm an alligator or something!
going for a ride with bumpa
This cute swimsuit she has just doesn't fit right.
The bottoms DO NOT stay up, so we all get the cute
view of an adorable bum all day. Everyone would
notice and point it out in a nice way, thinking she's
just cute as can be waddling around with her toosh
showing behind her. One of the days when i put on
a different swimsuit lexi looked at me so concerned
and said "peoples laugh at my swimsuit today too!?"
Oh i dont ever want to send her to school where she could
get her tender heart broken, by kids that are actually meaning
it mean. That gave me a taste of the next 10 years, and my
heart broke. anyone wanna do home school?!
during our long ride, which she was excellent for again!

The night before the 24th Bear River
taking brook for a ride, she loved them too!
The night before the 24th Bear Riverhad a movie in the park that was a lot of fun.
(probably more so for people who weren't by us,
so they could actually hear over our crew) but
the idea was still fun!!
