Las Vegas

We just got back from Las Vegas this afternoon. Tyler's boss treated the whole office to a great weekend all together. It was so fun getting to know each other better. We went to a couple of shows: Phantom, and Love by the Beetles. Both were amazing, and so fun to see! We ate at some really good restaurants, and had such a great time!

Thanks to our amazing parents for taking care of the kids for us so we could have a little get away. You guys are the best!! 

Bear Lake 2012

We just got back from Bear Lake. We had such a fun time, but I don't think we could have picked a wetter weekend. We got there Friday afternoon, and a big thunderstorm plowed through that evening. Again, on Saturday afternoon and evening, the rain managed to find us. We stayed at the KOA in Garden City, so luckily, they had a ton of great activities that kept all of the kids happy and entertained!  Despite the rain, everyone stayed in good spirits, and had blast!! 

 The golf course was right across from our camp, so the kids were able to play there while we watched them from our camp. Early morning risers.... da boys.

 This was Meili's first camping trip. She did really well, and loved walking around all of the tents.

 Of course Jacob was trying to hide from the camera.

 Abby and Mei playing at the playground. All the kids had so much fun there!

 Abby, Mei, Sofia & Bella

 I just had to see if the my girls out-weighed me. Nope.

 Abby and Remi Kimball

 The air pillow was the best! The kids had a blast, and got out so much energy!

 Here is our camp at the beach, and the Summerhays' boat. They put the boat in two different times, but had to pull it out soon after due to the weather. Bummer!!

 Meili loves the beach and water. I think we need to move to California just for her. Ok, for me too I guess.

 Meili, Sofia, and Olivia all had the same swim suit. I wish I would have gotten a picture of all three of them together. They were so cute!

 Here comes the storm!! Hold on everyone!!! Everyone had to grab something to keep things from blowing away.

 Notice the dark clouds across the lake? Ya, that was right over our campground. We thought it would go around the lake and miss us, but no. We got Slammed!!!

 After the big storm, the sky cleared up, and we headed out for burgers and raspberry shakes.

 Mei had fun at the mini-golf course after she got a mini-sized club.

 Here is the gang: Sohms, Kimballs, Summerhays, Becerra's.

 Cute girls climbing at the playground: Abby, Eva, Olivia.

Thanks for a fun, and unforgettable trip everyone! We had a blast!!

Lake Powell 2012

We went to Lake Powell with Tyler's family again this year, and it was so much fun!! His parents have a houseboat, and it is most definitely the way to go! We had such a great time, and and the kids LOVED being there!! (disclaimer: there are A LOT of pictures!)

We found the most perfect place to camp for the week. We blocked off a fabulous cove with a great beach for the kids! It couldn't have been more perfect.

 Thayne and Jordan brought their paddle boards, which we might have to invest in. My kids LOVED them! They all did really good balancing on them. Abby was the best, and she couldn't get enough!

 Jake and Brighton having fun on the beach.

 Riley and Kaden getting ready to cliff jump. It was only about 8 feet, but perfect for all the kids!

 Jacob LOVES going on Grandpa's kid-ski. He is the king of tricks. Here he is doing "no hands"

 Me Surfing. It is seriously so fun!!

 Jake was getting bored waiting for everyone to get back in the boat so he could have a turn on the tube

 Riley learned to wake board this trip. He did SO good! It is fun to see the kids love being behind the boat.

 Ty jumping off the houseboat

 Grandma Becky took all of the kids on a nature walk.

 I think you will be safe in the water Tyler!

 Happy Birthday Grandma!! We celebrated Becky's birthday at Lake Powell.

 Jordan's friend Caleb brought some Chinese lanterns. We lit them and let them off the top of the houseboat. It looked like the scene in Tangled.

 Bathtime!! Abby and Avery so needed to get their hair washed. They chose to go down the slide to wash out all of the shampoo.

 Kaden, Riley, Abby, Garrett, Camri, Avery loving the front of the boat.

 Grandpa Dallan took all of the girls on a leisurely boat ride

 We Love Lake Powell!!

I think the best part of the trip was that our good friends, the Beutlers kept Meili for us! They were so generous, and took such great care of her. Thanks you guys!!  Also, thanks Dallan & Becky, and EVERYONE else that was there for a great trip!! We love our family!
