CABIN

Oh how we love going to the cabin!

Here are just a few pictures we took when we ran up to the cabin one weekend.

Rees Family

September was a pretty exciting month for my family. My parents returned from their mission on September 2nd. We were all so excited to have them home. Then the week after they returned we were able to go to the temple to see Michelle & Chauncy and kids sealed together as a family. Both events were amazing.

Brooklyn's Baptism

I can't believe Brooklyn is already 8!! Wow how time flies. Since I am a little slow at getting out invites this is for all who don't get one in time!!

LAKE POWELL

Lake Powell this year was a little different than normal. The weather was crazy. I have never had as many storms as we had this time. Usually we are dying of heat but this year we actually were quite cold a good part of the time. Despite the craziness we were still able to have fun.

Rees loved playing in the sand and riding the Waverunner. He was so dang cute. We had so much fun just watching him.

Brooklyn trying to Wakeboard. She didn't quite make it but I'm sure she'll be ready next year.

Savannah knee boarding.

We are kind of mean parents and will sometimes force our kids to try stuff even though they are scared. Wyatt and Savannah both had to be gently pushed to get out on the knee board but once they did they were awesome. Wyatt did get up on his knees but we only got video of it not any pictures.

This was one of many waterfalls we saw after being caught in a major storm. We were soaked and freezing but it was a beautiful site.

Kelly falling off the tube. I just had to throw this one it because it makes me laugh.

Brooklyn didn't need much persuasion to knee board. She loves it. At the beginning of the week she only wanted to lay on her tummy and ride but we convinced her to get on her knees. Then after watching Austin do a 360 she just decided to try it without even telling us.

Jake, Megan & Kaylee came down for the first part of the week. We were so glad they came.

One day when we were returning from a tubing trip we put Rees in with Wyatt & Austin for an easy ride. After a few minutes we look out and Rees is asleep in the tube. He also slept through one of the major storms we were caught in.

Lake Powell

Boating

Here are some fun pictures we took while boating this year.

This first trip we went with Chris, Hunter and Grandma Janice.

Brooklyn wanted to wakeboard so bad but we didn't have a board her size so she went with Kelly. She is my brave one.

I'm not going to say who had this lovely crash because Chris asked me not to.

This trip was with Corby & Aspen Shaw

Corby & Kelly's faces were so funny in some of the pictures while they were tubing.

~The Tew's~

A couple of weekends ago our good friends Darin & Heather Tew, who moved to North Carolina came out to visit. We only got to see them for a few days but we had a lot of fun. We went up to Payson Lakes, went to the farm and rode horses then we took tracks up to temple square. It was so good to see them again but we were sad when they had to leave.

C~A~B~I~N

Over the 4th of July this year we went to the cabin. We went up with Brett & Natalie and their kids and Brett's Mom & Dad. My sister Angela and Avery went and so did our friend Darin. The kids always love going on the 6-wheeler and shooting their bb guns. The weather was a little cool we even got a little snow on Sunday but we still had lots of fun. Saturday night we went out on Brett's boat and watched the fireworks on Scofield Reservoir.

A Little More June

I can't believe my baby is Two. Here are a few pictures from Rees's birthday party.
