First try is a charm? (wait, that's not how it goes)

Haddi tried wakeboarding yesterday in Island Park. She popped right out of the water and away she went. Sicilee was the same way. Unfortunately, I didn't get Sis on video. I did get Sicilee on camera with a little knee board action, though. It's too bad we got rained out.

Summer finally started for us....

Swimming lessons were a little later in the summer for us this year and it didn't seem like summer started until we went to Bancroft for the week and spent it at my mom's house hanging out with our cousins and my friend Kristen and her family.
We had our own little "beach party" minus the beach at my mom's. "bathing beauties"

We spent a couple days at Lava. My girls loved the new slides, even my little dare devil, Indee. COWABUNGA!!!

My dad scored a snow cone machine...the highlight of the afternoons!

All the grandkids...12 of them, 8 under the age of 5. Was it loud there? Um....well....what??? I can't hear you.

We also hit the lake a few times.

Fishing...

Watching the older girls and Val swing on the rope swing.

Eating...

Sis played softball on the weekend in Soda Springs. Her team took first.

"I will never forget you little fishie..now I let you swim back to your mommy."

And my favorite picture of the week. This about sums it up.

Until next year...filled with all the caios, noise, and memories of cousins and grandma's house!

To be a kid again....

You can't really see it in the video, but it was hailing, marble-size hail. You can see it in the picture below on the tramp.

Crazy kids!

Do you know this girl? p. 36

Summer Luau

My new calling as ward activity director...

Haddi and Jade in their Luau attire. We loved having Jade stay with us for a couple of days while the girls went to a bkb camp.
Can you tell that Chad is "gettin' jiggy with it"?

My little hula girl.

The girls with the fire dancer.

(Indee was fishing with gpa and missed the party)
