CAMPING!

Since it's summer we wanted to go camping. Its been so long since the last time we went so we wanted to try it out again. We had a lot of fun, but we'd need to bring a few more things next time, and find somewhere a little better. We went up the cannyon and found a little are with little areas you can camp (not a campground). It was alright but next time were going somewhere else. The kids slep with us in our sleeping bag. Not very much room, but all in all we slep better than I expected. It's so nice how quiet it gets up there at night. We loved it. We woke up bright and early, around 6am. It was so cold I had to turn on the car to warm the kids and myself up. We took everything down and went to Cascade Springs and walked around. Then we went driving around the cannyon to find a better spot for next time. We did, it's beautiful. We took a drive for an hour or so up a dirt road. We cant wait till next time but its going to be a little while. We have too much going the next couple weekends.


Beautiful Timp.

We even brought along our dogs. They loved it.

Summer Sports

The month of July we decided to put Jase into a sports class, and his cousin got to do it with him. It was every Tuesday and Thursday for 3 weeks. They played soccer, T-ball, volleyball, golf (kinda), football, and an overview. I got some good pictures the first two times, but after that Jase didn't really want to play. He is now going through a stage where he if afraid of everyone and doesn't like to do things in a group. Well anyway here are some pictures. Sorry most of them are sideways I don't know why it does that. If you know how to fix it let me know.


This one is of Jase catching the balls. His coaches were throwing them into outfield and they had to get them and throw them back.
Here Jase just made it to home plate and is now waiting.
Jase in action.
Swing and its a hit!

These are out of order, but before they started playing T-ball they had to walk the bases and learn how to use their mits.

Now they are playing soccer.
Jase and Sage.

Beautiful girl





Isn't she cute. I think so! Well anyway, I decided to put her into the Highland Fling baby contest just for fun and this was her outfit. She didn't win but thats ok because we enjoyed it. I got to get her a beautiful flower headband (Chic & Unique boutique), and a beautiful dress. I also made her necklace and a braclet, but the braclet got taken off. I just wanted to share these pictures because I love them.

She's walking

Zoe will be 11 months on the 17th and she is already walking. Okay so he only did 4 little steps on her own but to me thats walking. She has been standing up on her own for a little while now. She can stand up and sit down without holding on to anything, and today she walked. I had her standing on her own and walked in front of her and showed her a ball. She loves her balls. Well she really wanted it so she took 4 ity bitty steps towards it, then sat down and crawled the rest of the way. I was so happy, yet kinda sad. She is growing up so fast and she is so big. I'll get a video of it and put it on but I don't have one yet.

Boating Fun

OK first of all I'd like to say sorry, there are a lot of pictures, and I love them all. So fell free to skim over them if you'd like. We had a lot of fun in Lake Powell and these are some of the pictures of us on the boat or close to the boat.



My Zen on Lake Powell

Our family in the water. Zoe didn't care for it too much at first (she cried a lot) but after a while the water didn't seem so cold and she liked it. She even splashed with her hands.

Yep thats my boy, he's peeing off the back of the boat.

The two beautiful IvaLues

Jase and Daddy on the tube behind the boat


Me and Jase about to go behind the boat in the tube. This was Jases first time.
