Lake Powell!!!

On Sunday we returned from a week long trip to Lake Powell. We had a great time. On the way down we took a short detour to Zions National Park, we went for a little hike, it was a good chance to get the kids moving a little bit. We also got a chance to visit the Glen Canyon Damn visitors center, which was pretty cool.

 

 JJ really took care of Eva while they were on the lake. On tube rides he would hold her hand, after knee boarding they submarine a little, he was right there to comfort her! What a sweet heart!

 Here is JJ doing a 180 twist off a cliff. Eva got in on the action too, she would jump a foot or two. JJ got pretty comfortable at about 8 feet.

 JJ would eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner on this ledge, the only way to get there is to climb!!! I enjoyed watching the boys chat when they got up there, it always seemed so serious.

Tubing!!!

 JJ tried wake boarding for the first time, he did really well, he got up a few times for a few seconds, which I think is awesome for his first time, especially considering that he is 6, I didn't learn to wake board until I was 30.

 Spencer and JJ knee boarding.

 This is the only picture of the four of us, Cy stayed with Grandma's while we were away. Thanks Grandma Shauna and Julia, we know he was much happier at home!

 Being silly!!!

 We had a lot of stormy nights, but here Spencer and the kids were enjoying a nice night while I made them roasted marshmallows!

We are grateful that we got to go to Lake Powell and spend some quality time together!

Happy Birthday Eva Pretty!!!

Eva turned 4 on July 2nd. We had a weekend long celebration. On Saturday Eva and I went on a pampering spree. First she got her hair cut, then we went and picked out a pretty new dress, then we went for mani/pedis. We finished by getting her pictures taken. I always enjoy getting to spend some alone time with each kiddo. Eva is really coming into her own, she has become a deep thinker, and asks a lot of questions. Probably, "Why?" a little too often!!! :) On Sunday we celebrated the July birthdays with my family. Happy Birthday to Eva, Marc, and Cy! On Monday we took Eva to her favorite place: Chuck e Cheese!!!
At 4 Eva's favorite color is pink, she loves Kraft Macaroni & Cheese (she doesn't like when I make my home made mac, although everyone else prefers it). Eva loves Primary, Preschool, Dance, and Gymnastics. She also really enjoyed taking swim lessons this summer! Eva is a singer, I love to hear her singing, and I encourage her to do so. She loves all things princess. She is a girly girl, she likes to wear dresses all the time, get her nails painted, wear lip gloss, and wear crowns (aka headbands). Eva has become a good helper, and loves her brothers, she is really looking forward to having a sister!!! We are so lucky that she is a part of our family!!!
