Lake Powell 2010

We decided to take a last minute day trip to Lake Powell in October. It was surprisingly warm and the water wasn't too bad either. My kids haven't been to a beach to since Ellie was 19 months old. They loved every minute of it! I just posted a few random pictures that I liked.


I love this pic of Ellie. The entire time she was collecting sea shells!



Ayzie loved the water



Handsome Hubby

Ayzie and McKayle playing in the water. They had so much fun together!

Slade and Cole

Tayler and Garrett and Parker's back

Parker wanted a life jacket but I only brought one that would fit Ayzie so he decided to put it on backwards. He looked so cute! He was a little embarrassed that I took his picture with it on.

Ellie and Maddie, cute girls

Cute Ayzie was happy the entire time we were there!

hmmm...maybe that's where we should live!

Cole's first time Rappelling

Carson somehow talked Cole into going rappelling. I'm still shocked to this day that Cole actually did it. He loved every minute of it too! I was so proud of him when he got to the bottom of the hill. It was slow going but he did such a good job and never once freaked out. We went out to Red Cliffs Recreation Area with Carson's friend Daniel and his family. While Carson and Cole rappelled the girls and I just hung out and took pictures. There was no way I was going to go off backwards down this hill!

Turning around getting ready to go off.


This picture kind of gives you the idea of how far they had gone down.


Cole and Daddy= Best Buds!


Almost there!

Good job Cole (& Carson)!

Ayzie Baby turns 2!

My sweet miracle baby turned 2 on September 4! Time has gone by way to fast, but she has been so much fun! She makes us laugh by the cute and funny things she says and does. I melt whenever she looks at me with those big hazel eyes. She loves to grab my face with her two little hands and just kiss me over and over again! It is the sweetest thing ever! She has brought so much joy to our family and I can't imagine her not in it. I love you my big 2 year old Ayzie Baby! (she'll always be my baby!)


I made her a cake for her first party that was in Fredonia at my mom's house.


Cute baby Ayzie



Blowing out her candles on her brownies I made for her second party at my house. She got really good at blowing out candles :)
