Bear Lake (trip # 2)


Here we are at the Minnetonka Caves! I've done this once before without kids, I bet you can guess which one was easier! It actually wasn't too bad, my mom carried Ethan up and down all 888 steps and my dad carried Mylie part of the time! So I guess it depends who you ask if it was easy or not. We will just have to see if I am invited next time!



What a cute picture. My and her papa she loves sooooo much!





Dad carrying Mylie once again!



All the girls waiting for the tour to begin!



The bat we saw at the cave entrance! YUCK!


The kiddos hiking in the forest!


Mim looking cute by a tree!



Some of the gang minus me!


Some of the gang minus Dad!



Soooo cute! My and Grandma taking a walk! Thanks everybody for your help so that my kids didn't fall off the cliff! This was a little nerve wrenching for a mother of two kids who don't quite understand danger yet!



Playing at the beach! Ethan was covered with mud and I didn't get there until he was being washed off by Grandpa!



Tan covered in mud!


Close-up!



My little cutie!

Chasing the seagulls!



Hanging out in the hammock!



Smores! Yum! Thanks mom and dad for yet another wonderful Bear Lake vacation. You always make it so relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your beautiful cabin so that we all have a fantastic retreat to enjoy!

The Peace Gardens!


My mom had the great idea for us to spend some time at the Peace Gardens! It was lot's of fun! Thanks mom! Here is beautiful Kals among the flowers!



All the kids minus My who again refused to be in the picture!



Here is Mylie being forced to participate!



The group who came minus me!



Ethan would only pose for this picture if I let him pretend he was wrestling the snakes!



My two little monkeys!

Weston's Gateway Outing!


Weston invited us all and paid for us all to go see Wall-e at Gateway! Thanks Weston that was way fun. We decided to let the kids cool off after the movie. Here is My and Wes cuddling! So cute!



Enjoying the shade!



Mylie refused to be in this picture!



Does this look safe?



Notice the difference between Kali and E's pose for the camera!

Dinner out with the girls!


It was so good to see all of you! Especially those who moved away or were separated by ward boundries! We missed you Kim (and everyone else who couldn't atend!)

Kaden's kick ball B day party!


Happy B day Kaden! What a fun party it was!



E's fabulous kicking form!


Kali took care of Mylie the whole time. I need one of those permanently at my house!



Way to go mom!

The 4rth in Provo with the other (not as cute as my) Miley!


It used to be a tradition to go to my aunts house on the 4rth (she lives just a few houses away from the BYU stadium) and watch the fireworks. We haven't done this in several years and this year she invited us all down again! We had so much fun and got to see lot's of cousins we don't see very often! Here is Mylie enjoying the fireworks?



Kali and the gang trying to get a glimpse of the famous Miley Cyrus! And for any of you who are still wondering, and for all the demented people out there who ask us, we did not name our Mylie after Miley Cyrus. Are you kidding me? We didn't even know she existed when we picked the name!



Me and my two sisters looking quite festive. Where's your red shirt and jeans Chels? We all tend to dress alike with no planning involved but apparently is was Chelsea's turn to miss the memo!



Uncle Joel's cool bike was a hit with all the kids!



On the way down, Ethan took and nap and Mylie just kept holding his hand and saying brober (brother) ni-night. She also tried to feed him raisens by saying bite and trying to get him to open his mouth! The're so cute together!

The 3rd of July at Eaglewood!


I love going up to Eaglewood to celebrate the 4th! It may even be equal to Christmas in my book! Here is Tados looking cute!



E striking his best pose!


Lot's of fun and laughing took place!


Some of the gang taking it easy!


Grandpa Frazier looking cool! (especially with the pink purse)



Andrew and Hunter hanging out. Nice sun visor! I'm sure it works great!



Some of the gang again!



Swinging E! What a great shot!



Mom dancing? I don't remember but I just had to put it on!

And after 4 long years, the deck is finally a work in progress!



Thanks everybody!


We've had lot's of good help along the way!


Thanks for all your hard work Jeffy!
