Hooch

Our sweet dog Hooch died a couple weeks ago and we really miss her.

She was a great dog with a sweet mellow temperment.

She got an agressive cancer that took her in a couple of months :(

She was only 4 years old. We tried to snap some pictures with her when we found out about her cancer.

We Love you sweet Hooch- we will miss you.

More fun at the cabin

Hanging out at our familys cabins seems to be our vacation of choice this summer :). I don't think there is anything better than spending time with your family and making memories. My grandparents live in St. George but they like to spend their summer at our cabin at Bear Lake to get away from the heat. We love going up there and spending time with them.

The kids love to swing with great grandma Jackie

We always eat lots of great food

Grandma even has tea parties and builds tents with Carmyn

We always love to hit the beach while we're there.

These next couple of pictures of Paige crack me up!

She found grandma Kimmie's coke and was in heaven!

(No I don't usually let my kids have pop but she was so in love with it- I let her endulge)

Is that really my little girl? She looks so grown up!










We spent some time fishing with Grandpa while we were there.

This was Carmyns first time fishing and she caught the only fish! (with a little help from grandpa)

She was so excited to take it home and show everyone.

When she went to bed that night grandpa cleaned her fish and cut off its head.

She was pretty upset about it in the morning and told him that couldn't be her fish because her fish had eyes!

The only crafty thing I've done for a long time.

More pillowcase dresses.

Bear lake with friends

Took another trip to Bear Lake with some good friends and let the kids play on the beach together. It was over the 24th of July so Bear Lake was packed with people! But that didn't stop us from having a great time :) Chad and the girls

- Sorry Babe, I don't feel any better when your abs are showing through your pushed out belly.



Paige and her cute friend Mia



This little girl was so in love with the water

- we had to watch her close or she would just waddle herself right out into her death!

Carmyn and her friends dug holes in the sand for hours

Of coarse we had to get some Bear Lake pizza and shakes from La Beaus too :)

oh I Love the summertime......

July swim lessons

Carmyn finished her swim lessons a couple weeks ago and has officially turned into a fish since then. This little girl has no fear of water and did great at improving her swimming skills!

- On the first day of class Carmyn was having a really hard time because none of the goggles where the right color and there were no pink life jackets- Can you say GIRL!

So her teacher found her the perfect goggles that met her approval and she finally let go of the life jacket issue :)

- I love raising girls but geez- I never realized the drama that we would have to go through!

At the end of every class they got to put life jackets on and play in the pool for a little while. Carmyns favorite was jumping off the diving board over and over and over :)

Her cute class!
