Happy Birthday Krystal!!

On August 24th, when it was Krystal's birthday, Keeton had a soccer game, so we didn't have time to celebrate Krystal's birthday. So on our Sunday time together, we did. Here she is carefully blowing out the candles. The candles were the kind that glowed the color of the candles.

Maloree always willing to help out. She loves to be with her sweet mommy! And so do we!!

We could never show Krystal enough how very much we love her. We are so thankful to have her in our family! Heavenly Father blessed her with so many kind and wonderful gifts and talents, we are blessed by them too! Thank you Krystal, for your example to all of us! We learn so much from you!

Happy Birthday to you!!

You are so wonderful to our son and our sweet babies!!! We just Love you so much!!!

End of Summer Sleepover

On the Friday night before Keeton started kindergarten, we decided to have a sleepover. Their mom and dad were at the temple with Krystal's brother, who will be getting married soon. So we took the opportunity to have a fun time. First we had dinner, then when it got dark, we took our new lanterns and went for a night time walk with Gunner. Maloree sometimes gets in Gunner's bed, but she didn't really sleep in it. She had a hard time not smiling for this shot, she's always such a happy girl!

Here they are with their lanterns, I wish I would have taken more pictures, but I only have a few. We had fun and mom and dad came to pick them up the next day! Happy new school year Keeton!! You are getting so big!! We love our little cuties!!

Bear Lake 2011

This year Bear Lake, like most of Utah's lakes was higher than in past years that we remember.

After fun on the beach, we went to the pool, where Maloree posed on the lounger

Later that night we went to our favorite shake shop, where Maloree followed Keeton on the beam, until they were done with our ice cream.

Next day at the beach again, making a sand castle

Andrew watching his little princess

Tracee not realizing I was taking her picture, pretty in pink

Kids loving the sand, the beach was so small this year, the water was just a small walk from the condos

We rented a boat, where Tracee and Matt did a little water skiing

We had a fun time, the weather was perfect, you couldn't have asked for a more pleasant temperatures. The water was warm and it was great. It's so nice to have this tradition in our family. We hope all of us can go next time, that would make it the best!!
