Is this for me.

Braxten just loves birthday parties he thought it was all for him he ate lots of ice cream and cake and played with all of the balloons.

He is so spoiled!!!

It was more like christmas then it was his birthday with all of the gifts he opened. He loved every minute of it!

So Much FUN!!!

I Dont know what i would do if i didn't have the Redfish Lake Vacations!

Friends for ever!

Kambree and Braxten

(So tired after a long camping trip)
Baylee and Jaten will always be the best of friends.

So long Sun...Hello Snow

I never thought that with in 3 days we could be getting a sun burn to the next day we could be waking up to snow. I guess it was all worth it to have our last vaction of the year spent at Redfish Lake! Saturday was great it was warm out side and we spent a lot of time in the water. Sunday was a little colder but it was kind of nice to just sit around camp. Of course there cant be a Redfish trip without a Flog tournament. That night Ryan and Mckinzie and Ivie and Josh went home because it was suppose to rain that night. Well there was lots of rain and even snow Monday morning when we woke up. We started to clean up that morning to go home but its kind of hard to keep 2 boys dry and warm and still pack things. Thanks to Jaris and Jimmy they came and got the boys and brought them back to the motor home that Jaris and Jimmy's friends had brought. Thanks! It was so nice to have the whole clan there. So our last trip of the year was worth all the rain and snow to be together.

Of Course when you have a family like i do when it comes to water skiing there isn't much that can stop them from going including snow and 35 degree weather. At 12:00 noon Dustin, Devin and Dad were in the freezing water, water skiing! It was so beautiful to see the boys skiing with the snow in the back ground. I hope it was worth it.

He's into everything!!!

Braxten is now getting in to everything that he can get his hands on. He can get to just about anything if he wants to. Right now he is rolling over like crazy both from his back to his belly and his belly to his back. He crawls onto his knees and scoots every where. He loves to eat everything so i am always checking to see if he has anything in his mouth. He is getting so fun he will climb up on my knees and he pulls himself up on everything. I'm not sure if im ready to deal with him crawling every where!!!

Fun in the Sun!!!

Last weekend we set up one of those bid water play park slides. It was so fun!!! We had dustin's neices and nephews so it wasn't very hard to entertain them!!!

Skin and bone!!!

Jaten is so skinny that he is wearing Braxten's sweat pants!!! Pretty sad huh!!! it doesn't matter how much i make him eat he has too much energy and burns it all off!! Maybe one of these days he will gain some weight!!!

Messy to clean!!!

Braxten just loves real food right now! His favorite right now is cheetos. Oh so good but very messy. They are worth it!!!

His next favorite thing on his list is cleaning up those cheetos, by taking a big boys bath. He just loves taking baths with Jaten they have so much fun. Jaten sings to him and plays with him the whole time. He cries when i take him out. He doesn't need warm water i guess to want to stay in.

Red Fish Lake Trip

As always they red fish trips are always a blast but this one started out chaotic. We planned on leaving friday afternoon after dustin got home from work but at about 10:30 thursday night he got a wild hair and decided that we were going to leave that night. So of course i had nothing packed. So everything got thrown into a bag and 2 hours later we left. Devin was with us so he kept dustin awake and then devin drove the last part. So we ended up their really late. I thought that maybe they would want to sleep in, and they probably would of but about 7:00am dust heard a familiar voice. It was Ryan sitting out on the picnic table just waiting for someone to wake up. THey all skiied until 11:00 and then ryan had to leave to go back to work. Someof our friends came up to spend sometime on the beach and stayed until sunday. They had never been there before so they really loved it. It really was a great trip Jimmy and Jaris came saturday afternoon! Jimmy is now Jaten's favorite!!! Saturday night we built a fire on the beach and cooked our foil dinners while everyone skiied. Even I skiied which was a first on one ski!! I'm officially part of the family!!!

After the Micro Burst

Thats what happens when you loose at a water fight! Better luck next time
Jaten spent everyday all day in playing in the sand and running to and from the water. He just loves being in the sun!!!
Braxten just loved all of the attention that he got this weekend. There was always some one for him to play with. He is now a little tan baby!!!

After the Micro burst we were evicted from our campsite so we had to find a place to 30+ people. Thats not easy on fourth of july weekend! We managed to all fit into 2 campsites. There were tents scattered every where. The rest of the trip worked out we spent some time on the beach and ate tons. (thanks wayne for doing all of the cooking!)

Vacation #2...Red Fish Lake

We got home from Wolf Creek and left 3 days later to go to Red Fish Lake with Dustin's Family and a friend that he works with. We left late wednesday night and got to our camp ground and set up our tent and ate scones at 1:00 am. Kinda late but Wayne dustins friend loves to cook and that was on the menu for that night. Thursday Started out good the boys went out on the water in the morning and then we hit the beach in the afternoon. Everything thing was good until we got done roasting marshmellows and then we were hit by a micro burst(a tornado that comes down and spreads out.) We had a tree land on one of our tents with 2 of wayne's kids in there. After that happened we ran to the trailer and decided that it wasn't safe either. We hoped in a vehicle and tried to drive out but we were stopped along with everyone else by trees on the roads. No one could get out or get in. Thousands of trees had been blown over in about 5-10 minutes. Here are some pictures of the damage. The pictures dont even hold a candle to what really happened.

Uncle ry and Jaten had matching shorts so of course i had to take a picture of them together in their shorts!!! He just oves his uncle Ry!!!
Did you get tickets to my gun show!!!

Vacation #1...Wolf Creek

A couple of weeks ago we went on a family vacation up to wolf creek. It was really nice to be able to just kick back and relax. We left wednesday at about noon to go she dustin's sister Debra. She lives in American Fork which is about 85 miles from ogden. We went and spent the night with her and headed back to ogden the next morning to meet with my family up in wolf creek. We stayed in the condos and it was great to be able to sleep in beds and take showers.

Jaten and Baylee spent the whole time attatched to one another! Theye spent all of their time in the pool and runing around the condos. Braxten also enjoyed the pool and loved all of the attention from everyone!!! (thanks for all the help)

All of the boys went and skiied down at the lake and played some tennis and raquet ball all weekend. We also some mini bikes that everyone cruised around on. All in all we had a great time together and we hope we can do it again next year!!!
