Cherry Hill water park

Three crazy Mom's took EIGHT crazy kids six and under to Cherry Hill water park. we had a blast. Emery and Bella rode the Cardiac Canyon by themselves, Wow! Mason and Lacey went with mom a few times too. I remember going to this place when I was young and now it is so neat that my kids will have some memories there too. Sage being silly with fruit. Bunny teeth? Nessa and "E"

Boating!

I forgot how much fun it is to be on the water. My little bro. Ryan has a boat, I was so excited when he invited us to go to Pineview Reservoir to come boating. This is the first time that the kids have gotten to ride a tube and Lacey loved it. Lacey rode with me, with Em, with aunt Jamie, she couldn't get enough. Emery rode with me and we tipped over the front end. It was so funny, but she didn't agree. She was a good sport and tired it again. Mason would not try it, perhaps next year. I was glad that he even got into the water. We had a great time and the babies did much better that I would have expected. I even got to try wake boarding. I am not very good. I can't wait to try again, but I really need to get in better shape. It uses muscles that you never knew you had.

Lacey saying faster, Emery saying slower. They never cease to amaze me. Lacey and Emery riding with Aunt Jamie.

Anual Camp Out!

Jackson Shaylee Lilly couldn't get enough of Jackie, Aunt Marsha's Lab. The dog was so good, and patient. Three peas in a pod.

Grandma and Lilly time. Catching frogs! Canow ride anyone? Mom and Lacey get to take a ride together.

Every year my family goes camping together. They all have trailers, ATV's, motorcycles, and a canoe. The kids loved every minute. Mason could not get enough rides from anyone who was willing, and when he was not busy on something that goes, he was catching bugs. For some reason this year there was a plethora. He caught lots to put in his bug board. Aunt Val Jean bought him a butterfly net to take home and he is still catching lots of yucky bugs!

Playing with friends!

We had a great time playing at our friends house. Lizzy and Josh are my friend Wendy's kids and they have a wonderful yard and a big blow up slide thing that the kids loved. Not to mention a sport court and a little motorized car to keep them entertained. It made a great time for Moms to be able to catch up.

Coming Home!

I don't know why it is that I still feel like every time I get to go to Utah I feel like I am coming home. It might be because that is where all of my side of the family lives, it could also be that I grew up there so I don't have memories of being young anywhere else. None the less, I still feel like I am coming home every time we drop down into Odgen and then drive up center street, until we pull into the drive way on 8th East. We had a wonderfully busy trip, I know that the memories made will last us until next summer when hopefully we will get to return home again. I know that my husband nor my children see it the way that I do, but I know that even for them it gets harder to say good-bye to friends, Grand-ma, grand-pa, Great Grand-ma, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins every time we come. Even thought it is not "Home" for them it holds a special place in their hearts. Thanks Mom and Dad for allowing us to come and once again take over your home, your yard, and your time. We love you and miss you! Grandpa J, Grandma Carolyn and kiddos! Lilly and Shaylee (BFF) cousins only 3wks. apart. Lilly is giving her loves. Grandma Ida (93) and Lilly Val Jean and Sarah Friends of forever and for Forever. WOW! Four generations of hands.
