the summer thus far

A long awaited photo shoot with my talented brother Jason. He has been teaching me about my camera so I can take as good as pictures as him. (yea right)


Kaden wanted to see the Jonas Brothers so bad. So after some begging and telling me that it could be his birthday present I gave in and bought some tickets off the street and we were in.
It was so crowded.
Kaden was loving it. It was a great concert. I secretly like Jonas Brothers too, don't tell anyone.

Just trying some new settings on my camera
The kids helping grandpa fix the bridge
Thanks to Amy and Jeff, we got to spend an evening at Lagoon, it was so much fun.
resting and watching the Broadway show. My boys left with Jason after about the first song. The little kids loved it.

My dad taking us up behind the B for a cook out, wienies and smores, yummy
An all time favorite passed on to the newest generation, Crocano (I have no idea how to spell it)
Me, Amy, Jill, and Melissa met at the park, WOW we sure have multiplied. From the left to the right, Jaycee, Mylie, Kali, Ethan, Jaden, Tanner, Kameron, Kaden, Hogan, Sammy
Here's the girls.
The kiddo's building a dam in the river
We went up to Park City to Silly Sunday, a farmers market/ craft fair it was so much fun and nice to be up out of the heat, thanks for the idea Aunt Shannon
My cousin Jennifer and her cute family, Seth, Jake, and Shea
We decided to go on the Alpine Slide, this is the ride up it was so pleasant
Jason was a little scared



Kaden's 11th birthday celebration, I can't believe my baby boy is 11.
Thanks for coming everyone
Another trip to Bear lake. Second of the summer, I will have to fill you in on the first of the summer when I get home, all my pictures are on Kevin's laptop.
I love going down to the beach in the evening, no one is there.
Cute boy
Me, Tanner, Jason and my dad decided to take a 52 mile bike ride around the lake. My mom and dad have already done it and I was up for the challenge. I was so proud of Tanner he smoked me he kept up with Jason almost the whole time. It took about 6 hours, Tanner and Jason finished about 30 minutes before me. My dad was our water boy, he rode the scooter not because he wasn't up for riding a bike but because there were only 3 bikes. Thanks for the water, Daddio
This was mile maybe 20 we were still having fun.
Stopping for a lunch break, peanut butter and honey sandwiches. Thanks mom they hit the spot. The bike ride was so hard but totally worth it, just to say I did it and I would recommend it to any one. Although I will probably not be able to sit on a bike for weeks.
My crazy four wheeler, she is fearless
We took the boat to a beach with so many shells, it reminded me of when I was a kid and all the beaches were covered with shells.
Kali doing shell angels
Jason, Kali and Kaden braving the cold Bear lake water

The flag boy
Kali can't get enough of Kai, they are best buddies
Kali loves to go with grandpa on the four wheeler cuz he will let her do way crazier stuff than I will let her do
Having fun at the park in Garden City.
We have a couple of more weeks left here in good old Utah, its going to fly by.

Playing catch up can be time consuming. Kauai was the first Hawaiian Island I went to and LOVED it! I can't believe you took your whole family! We can only afford two.
And Idaho? That's exciting. You'll be much closer to family and I know how important that is to you. So good luck, Kevin!
