Bear Lake (trip #1)

A walk down the boardwalk. I think my dad holds Mylie about 90% of the time we are ever together. My loves her papa!

E pouting on the boardwalk. I tell ya, the attitude a 4 year old can have is shocking! (and lot's of fun in public) This is a quite moment in which I enjoy but the moments before the time-out began............not so much!

Still walking...............

The group at the end of the walk!

Jase figuring out the sail boat.

My's favorite thing to do at the beach was to throw sand in the water. I think she did this the entire time we were there!

My little butterfly!

Wes and the kiddos!

Best buds so far!

Kayaking! We sure missed our dad on this trip! Thanks for staying home and working hard at your job and on the deck!

Who needs a boat? Way to go little E!

And more boatless fun!

Cute Wes being a tourist!

Life is great to be a kid! No worries about being wet and dirty and especially about having sand in places it shouldn't be!

Going to the beach!

Cute little buddies!

Jase showing off!

The Roarkies Have Arrived!!!!!!

We are so glad to finally have the Roarkies here with us for the summer! I know I am just now blogging this and it is about time for them to go home but here goes the trip thus far! We decided to have a BBQ to welcome the Roarkies here, to welcome my mom Jase and Weston back from there great Europe adventures and last but not least to celebrate Father's Day!

Playing pirates! E has loved having his cousins back, even if it is just temporary!

All tuckered out from the party and jet lag! Dad, what's your excuse? Ha Ha! My dad falls asleep at just about every family gathering so I have made it a goal of mine to capture the moment each time.

This is how Jase looked most of the night!

(a very late) Happy Father's Day!!!!

Happy Father's Day Jeffrey! I am so happy that you are the father of our two beautiful kids! They don't get better then you (and my dad)! Thank you for all of your hard work with work and school and all of the projects around the house. Our lives are immensely better because you are here with us! Thanks for always taking the time to play with the kids. I love that you value the time that you get to spend with them and would pick them over anything for yourself at anytime. I love you very much! This is the most recent picture I have with you and the kids! We may have to work on that soon! Thanks again for being such a wonderful dad!

And to my other favorite Dad........Happy Father's Day! You are such an amazing person! I love how you are so giving with all of your time and talents! Thank you for all of your help and support over all of the years. I am proud to call you my Dad! Thanks for always taking the time to make us feel special and loved. I love how you take time to spend with the Grandkids as well. They love you too and we are all better people because of you! Thanks for everything! I love you very much!

Frazier Family Visit!

While Jeff's family was all in town for his brother's 40th B day bash we thought it would be fun to take some family photos. Here's us!

Here is the whole gang!

We also went to Lagoon while they were here and this is how the night ended!

Me and two of my sister-in-laws always like to ride this ride at the end of the night! Tradition!

Cutest little boat riders ever!

Ethan's first experience with bumper cars and lovin it!

Some of the gang taking a break!

Peace out ya'all!

E and cousin Coleyn flying high!

Fun with Friends

We had a BBQ with some high school friends two weekends ago. It was lots of fun! We really need to get together more often. I think summers are best too seeing that there are 10 adults and 12 (soon to be 13) kids in the group!

Ethan wanted to sit by himself away from tables.

The kids table, minus the kids of course!


Most of the adults!

Ethan and Mylie in the laundry basket. I heard them giggling and this is what I found!

They like to sit on Ethan's chair and read stories together.

Ethan and some of his neighbor friends for a mid-day movie party!
