Krakowiak Lake trip!!

We planned a Krakowiak Lake trip very early in the summer when we had our new boat...but then Spencer sold it, sigh. So, Edwin was so nice to let us use his to still have our fun day at the lake. This first picture is nice...check out the second one!


Can you see the look of FEAR in my sister's face?


Oh Emma you are so trusting.....




Kambrie and Spencer.... do what we all do Kambrie: hang on for dear life!


Dad wakeboarding, what a good sport!


Mom and her favorite things to do.....

My sister wakeboarding.....

Dayson hanging out on the boat!


My kids wakeboarding...yes, they all got up and are doing awesome!


Why must they be like their father????? Clliff jumping is dangerous!!!!
















D-Backs!

My dad got some discount tickets to the D-Backs game so we thought it would be fun to take all the kids! We had lots of fun!


All of us at the game....




My favorite treat at sporting events....Cotton Candy!


We also thought it would be fun to ride the new light rail to the game. We will NEVER do that again! The kids thought it was cool, but it was not cost effective or time effective! We had the experience, done.

4th of July 2009

We went to Tempe Town Lake for thier fireworks show this year. Normally we try to get away from the heat and go up north but I think I enjoyed this even better!! We joined my family (my sisters, brother, mom and dad). My sisters were nice enough to save us a place, they had to leave several hours early. Something Spencer would NEVER do. Thanks Kama and Kristin!!


Ooooooooh

Ahhhhhhhhhh

Awwwwwww


Dayson and his favorite snack...homemade Rice Krispie Treats!


Water guns and kids....always a great way to cool off!!!


Card games and a picnic!!!

I have truly realized how important it is to spend time with family. I love spending time with them and I am so thankful that I have a great family.

Isn't Arizona Grand?????

This has become a MUST DO thing in our family summer plans. We spent a few nights at the Arizona Grand Hotel. We had some friends come with us as well. Our kids just love it!


Emma and Coleson.....



Dayson totally loved this basketball hoop!



Caleb going for the DUNK!!!



Funny faces!




Girls on the tube....look at that lady to the left of us....I have no idea who she is, but she seems to be enjoying watching us.....?!?!?


Emma and Dayson at the splash pad


Spencer could not join us the WHOLE time. I guess someone has to work to pay for us to do great fun things like this....I love to catch up on some reading while I am on vacation

My baby! This is her first entire summer that she has been a safe independant swimmer. I cannot belive how fast she has grown up! While we were there she managed to put shock and fear in the hearts of the lifegaurds and other concerned mothers. She swims fine...but would rather her head be under the water than above...so she LOOKS like she is drowing. I actually had another stanger mother come running in after her thinking she was drowining. FUNNY!!!

Wave pool!



This was our hotel room. The last night we were there the adults went to the resturant for dinner. I am so greatful that I have a mature responsible daughter that is willing to babysit the kids while we go out. She is great!!! Look at those great kids....

Lake Powell 2009!!!

We ALWAYS enjoy this part of our summer! It was especially nice this year because we finally have ALL our kids safe and independant swimmers!! Lake Powell was beautiful this year. We are so thankful to Mom and Dad Lamoreaux for providing such an amazing unique trip to the lake!!!

Emma swimming and with her Papa.....she must be in heaven!!


Off for a jet ski ride......GIRLS ONLY!!!!


This was a little hill (the kids called it a mountain) across the way from where the houseboat was. We decided to take a swim and climb it. So much easier now that ALL the kids can walk on their own!!


Can we make it????

YES!!!!!

Caleb and Abby buried in sand....

5 cute kiddos!!! Cousin David doing Abby's hair???


Tubing!!!! My kids are getting more and more like their dad every day. This summer they wanted to go faster, higher, and scarier!!!


Emma sure LOVED having David around!!!


Yes, that is Abby jumping off with Emma....Braiden and Abby
